    Yes, there have been a few comments mentioning Tikka masala, but can you name another British dish with flavor? I don’t think so.

      Cornish pasty, apple crumble, scouse, trifle, haggis, rarebit, Sunday roast, shepherd’s pie, tatty scones… you can see why this “no flavour” joke is getting tiring.

        Even shitty store brand haggis has a great flavor profile for a sausage. Yes, its a sausage: its meat, salt, spices, and other fillers in an animal casing. Fight me.

        But its scottish food

          I don’t eat animals myself but the vegan version is very good I have to say. Likewise with the vegan Cumberlands you can get, or at least could about five years ago from the Co-op.

      Yes, there have been a few comments mentioning Tikka masala, but can you name another British dish with flavor? I don’t think so.

      Let’s kick off with curries! We’ve been eating ‘curry’ since 1598, so longer than a lot of other countries have existed. As well as chicken tikka masalla, we’ve adapted or invented a few, such as:

      • Madras curries
      • Jalfrezi curries
      • Balti curries
      • Phall curries

      For other British dishes with flavour, try (in no particular order):

      • Any Sunday roast; beef with Yorkshires and horseradish sauce, pork with applesauce, lamb with mint sauce.
      • Full English, full Scottish, Ulster Fry, Full Welsh
      • Kedgeree
      • Steak and kidney pudding
      • Cream tea
      • A proper ploughman’s lunch
      • Sausage, mash, onion gravy with English mustard
      • Cullen skink
      • Shepherd’s pie / cottage pie
      • Fish pie
      • Irish stew
      • Lancashire Hot Pot
      • Marmite on toast
      • Bacon sarnie
      • Kippers
      • Sheffield fishcake butty
      • Welsh rarebit
