Baku Kitchen! An independent reference of traditional food

United Kingdom

Ask what the United Kingdom eats and the answer starts with this: hearty comfort food: roasts, pies, fried fish, and puddings, shaped by pub culture and afternoon tea tradition. Look for Fish and Chips (battered fried fish with thick chips, salt and malt vinegar), Sunday roast (roast meat with potatoes, vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, gravy) and Full English breakfast (eggs, bacon, sausages, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, toast). Fried battered fish came with Sephardic Jewish settlers; the first shops opened in the 1860s, and the trade was left unrationed through both world wars.
