Quintessential British fair..
Discussion
So You're in a foreign country and a local asks you what is a quintessential British dish! What would your answer be?
For me - Bangers and mash with onion gravy. Not regional (only if you choose a sausage from a particular area) and Very very British!!

Our Sunday roast is probably the essence; Ze French still call us "Roast Beefs". Bangers and mash also a good one. Fish and chips probably, if you can find a good one. Cottage pie with vegetables is good. Lancashire Hot Pot is nice if done properly. All washed down with Spotted Dick, obviously, or rice pudding.
Sadly, many of the others I can think of are pretty vile: anything drowned in parsley sauce (I was thinking fish, but ham will do), Pork Pies, Jellied eels, "Pie, Mash, and Liquor" (with that awful parsley sauce again).

Dear All,
smoked salmon, peas, buttery new jersey royals, oh I'm salivating already.
Nyetimber rose sparklagne wine.
Christmas pudding for desert or maybe treacle tart both with lashings of double cream.
Apple brandy.
Sliced white bread dry cured bacon sarnie with tomato/HP (delete to taste) sauce.
Pint of Theakstons Old Peculiar or mug (not cup) of strong tea.
regards,
Jet
