For some reason, many people associate British cuisine with «tasteless and boring-packaged» food, although it's far from the case. Usually it is judged by cereal, something from cottage cheese (if someone can't stand it) and an unofficial national dish - deep-fried fish with French fries (fish and chips).

But many people do not even know that by virtue of the «fish and potatoes», seasoned with vinegar, British citizens survived the famine during the First and Second World Wars and this dish played a big role in shaping the country's catering culture. With such a formation and multi-regionality, secondary, but no less interesting dishes went.

What is very noteworthy and I like, that in the indigenous British cuisine there are a lot of things from fresh vegetables, with very little fat, an emphasis goes on pastry (Bakewell Tart, Yorkshire pudding, crumpets, pumpkin pie, biscuits etc.), steamed, boiled, stewed, sometimes roasted (Beef Wellington). UK residents prefer local products to imported ones, so almost all fish, dairy and meat products are produced domestically, and vegetables are grown by local farmers.

As for eating baked beans for breakfast, this is a rich dish from a country that pours a filling of moist Cornish pasty on a couple of tortillas, calls it "cookies and sauce" and eats it for breakfast (although in fact, as the British say, it's damn good! But it's somehow unusual and strange for me). Shrimp in garlic sauce is also not the best. It seems to be marine, but the smell and taste are sharp, and the meat is completely chewed. I have seen a lot of dishes in which everything that can't be mixed is mixed. Indeed, such total vinaigrettes are weird for us. Someone from my relatives said that everywhere British cooked a filthy pie with steak and kidneys.

But these are just subjective views. It may be worth being guided by such an expression that our food is similar to our weather these days: if you don't like it, just wait a little and something will turn out better.
