Fish and Chips
These have been an English staple since the Victorian era when they were sold at a Bow Bells market by a Jewish immigrant known as Joseph Malin. The beer battered haddock or cod paired with chips is one of the most common foods in Britain owing to its low cost and hearty ingredients.
English chips are notably much larger and softer compared with French fries. Nowadays you can get fish and chips across many pubs often served with tartare sauce and mushy peas. If you want an extra kick for the dish, add vinegar, salt or lemon juice to bring out its flavors.
Eton Mess
This is a popular British dessert for events like the Wimbledon Tennis tournament. It is made of strawberries, broken meringue and cream served in a bowl.
The Eton Mess is a classic dessert found across all British cafes and restaurant. It can be paired with other summer fruits including blueberries and raspberries though strawberries are the choice for an authentic Eton Mess.
English Tea
This was imported from India and is made using crushed tea leaves mixed with hot water. English tea is a warm caffeinated drink which you can drink with honey or sugar for sweetening. Unlike the herbal and green teas in most cultures, you have an option for the addition of milk in English tea.
