Typically British?
Discussion
Good Evening,
Just a quick question, my partner is a primary school teacher and is teaching the kids about British food during British food fortnight (19th Sep onwards). She needs a British dish that is not too expensive to cook with the kids and can be preferably cooked individually so that the kids can take them home.
Any ideas? My suggestion of a full English breakfast didn't go down too well!
many thanks
Mike

Here's an idea. Not strictly British, but if you want to teach an understanding of British history through our food, I think it's fantastic.
Kedgeree.
An originally Indian dish, brought back and adapted from our involvement in the Raj, becoming a Victorian staple. From there you can go on to the British as a seafaring nation, the impact of international trade on our country, and indeed on a more specific note the East India Company and the spice trade.
It's also cheap and easy to make!

Kedgeree is a great idea, among the dispute about it being British!
Plus fish, curry powder and rice = alot of mess and possibly curry powder in some eyes as well as the risk of uncooked fish!
It needs to be kept simple, I think at the moment we are leaning towards small individual apple crumbles.
Great ideas so far!

Yea taken home cold is fine, most dishes you can whack back into the microwave I suppose.
Pease pudding? Never heard of it!
That's why I suggested it. Cheap, easy, can be eaten cold or re-heated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pease_puddingPease pudding? Never heard of it!
