That’s our list of top 10 English food with strange names.Alabama Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Florida Georgia Hawaii Illinois Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Missouri Montana New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina Tennessee Texas Utah Virginia Washington Washington D.C. This time served with mashed potato and (usually) onion gravy. Yet more sausages (also known as ‘bangers’). Not to be confused with ‘Devils On Horseback’: prunes wrapped in bacon.Ī hot version of the more common Swiss Roll, this is is a flat-rolled suet pudding, which is then spread with jam and rolled up, then steamed or baked.
This is the ‘posh’ version of pigs in blankets: oysters wrapped in bacon. It’s a fish pie with the fish heads stuck onto the crust (‘staring’ at the stars). Quite a sinister looking dish this offering from Cornwall in South West England. Popular during the rationing of World War 2, it’s still a popular way of cooking the leftover potatoes and other vegetables from a traditional English roast dinner. Pork sausages ( the ‘pigs’) are wrapped on bacon (the ‘blankets’) and cooked, often as complement to a roast meat dish.Ī very fancy name for what is really cheese toasted on bread, plus a bit of Worcestershire Sauce (a traditional English condiment that most houses have).Īgain, a great name for something that’s less glamorous, in this case fried leftovers of a roast meal (on the left of the plate in the above picture). Delicious with traditional thick English custard.Īnother sausage based dish. No sniggering at the back of the class there… This is a traditional English pudding consisting of sponge cake containing currants or sultanas (the ‘spots’). Unfortunately the custom is dying out due to a combination of reduced eel stocks (hit by flood abatement measures amongst other things) and the change in the ethnic background of East London. Tastes much better than it looks (thankfully).
The water turns into a colorless jelly which encases the eel flesh.
This traditional Cockney (ie East Londoner) meal has been feeding London’s poor for centuries.Įels from the Thames river are boiled in water and then allowed to cool. Anyway, the main thing is it’s delicious – especially with thick onion gravy. Which, even more confusingly, isn’t a pudding. No, not a frog in a, well, hole but sausages cooked in Yorkshire Pudding.
