Typically British?

Jellied eels?


Nice

That's a cold snack..........go for stewed eels, mash and liquor, with a pie on the side .

Like the idea of pease pudding, goes well with faggots, sausages or gammon all with mash.

buy ready to roll pastry. (or have them make it if you have the time as it's simple)

Potato topping on those mentioned. Easier still, and good fun for the little ones to mash it up, though she'll need a few mashers/ricers...

Thanks for all the suggestions folks, appreciate it!

Spotted Dick and custard? They're bound to have a good laugh at the name.

I doubt many of us have had stewed eels, or pease pudding for that matter.

You don't get more British than Roast Beef. Beef, roasted. Parsnips, roast potatoes, maybe some broccoli, Yorkshire pudding, gravy (proper not Bisto). Flaming mouth horseradish sauce. On a plate, done.

If the little darlings have to participate in making it then cottage pie IS the answer.

It has the benefit of being cheap to make from basic ingredients.

According to my bro he made it for some Swedish friends (he is Swedish too, and lives in Sweden) who were amazed at this "delicious and interesting dish back from your old country"...

So it seems exotic and British to non-Brits then. Job.

I cannot believe steak & kidney pudding hasn't been mentioned. It [i]must[i] be good quality suet, though.

Well that does it - I'm off to Sweden to open a chain of 'Authentic British Cottage Pie Restuarants'!




ETA: 'Hurgle Splurgle Chick Chick Chick'. Which is the only Swedish I know.

Then you just need a realistic looking chicken.

Wasn't that a hit for ABBA in the seventies?
