Iconic British Foods You Need To Try Before You Die

In a global sense, British food has never quite enjoyed the sterling reputation of some other national cuisines. Black pudding and kippers have usually taken a back seat to pizza, paella and sushi.

But the U.K.'s reputation for unappetizing grub isn't particularly well deserved. While it may not be as fancy as French food or have the zing of Mexican fare, it is hearty, affordable and often very tasty. These unpretentious dishes are perfect to share with friends and family down at the corner pub. So forget the stereotypes about British cuisine. Here are some iconic British foods you must try before you die.

What's your favorite British food?

Be aware that if you travel 50 miles in the UK, Bread rolls have changed name, travel 100 miles, sandwiches have another name as well.
Shepards pie = lamb, Cottage Pie = beef

[itsjadeblade]

FYI, cottage pie is made with beef, shepherds pie is made with Lamb

[jovanweismiller]

I grew up in Kansas and I've had them all. Of course, my Mum and my Gran both came from Hampshire. LOL!

[WankersCramp]

Most people that make fun of British food have either never tried it or saw someone on YouTube try beans on toast and thought that's the only thing British people eat.

I kind of miss Bubble and Squeak in the list, which is actually made from left overs - unlike Beef Wellington.

[cronic]

The classic Sunday Roast is by far my most favourite meal in the world (specifically roast beef) It doesn't require hardly any skill to make it although to master it, it will. It just needs time, patients and above all, love, lots of love 😁

[alexbostock]

Shepherds Pie & Cottage Pie are DIFFERENT! Cottage - Beef, Shepard’s - Lamb!

[TheKateO]

You can't make Beef Wellington from leftovers!!

My family was stationed over in Britain and we lived in a town called Brampton. I can honestly say the best fish I've ever had to this day came from this guy who had a small stand that served fish & chips and it was wrapped in newspaper.

Correct about the grubby greasy spoons My Aunt owned one didn't look like somewhere you'd wanna eat but was by popular reviews one of the best breakfasts around for "a fiver" and she retired happily from owning it for 34 years

One of the best brekkies I've ever had was in a little hotel in Scotland, a pair of smoked Loch Fyne kippers. I opted for haggis on the side which came with an exquisite cracked pepper cream sauce. Heavenly.

[charliebooth]

Never seen a beef Wellington in a pub, and it CERTAINLY isn’t a good way to use up leftovers of a Sunday dinner 😂

[FujishimaAkiko]

Chip butties are the best....I've not been to England in over 20 years, but I still enjoy a chip butty every now and again. My son LOVES them! :)

[The_Butler_Did_It]

Shepherd's pie isn't the same thing as a cottage pie although they are similar. The main difference is that a shepherd's pie is always made with lamb. The clue is in the name.

[magnusbruce]

The controversy about how to pronounce scone is nothing compared to the controversy about whether you put the clotted cream or jam on first.

[alexcarvalho]

I’m Brazilian ( came foody state of Minas Gerais) living in England, and the only thing I didn’t like was the eels, I love everything, I don’t know why people say Uk doesn’t have good food?

[nameless.greyceo]

Been travelling south America for 3 years and damn I miss British food, chocolate, baked beans, full English, bangers and mash and Yorkshire tea like mad.

[maccrazy]

If you want really good black pudding, come to Austria! And Marzipan is great. Marzipan covered with chocolate is a staple around Christmas in Austria. Also it is part of the famous Mozart-balls, whichever you try.
