Only one I've had is fish & chips but I'd be willing to give the others a try!

Cullen skink, scotch eggs and Yorkshire puddings are my favourites on that list. It might not be nutritionally ideal, but I would happily eat only Yorkshire puds smothered in gravy for the rest of my life. Omnomnom.

I grew up on Yorkshire’s made with beef fat and eaten with beef gravy. In the Midwest. Beef just doesn’t taste the same anymore.

 

My record was 17 at one sitting, but they were small muffin tin sized.

No scones? Chicken tika marsala (developed in England, not India)? No pasty? Welsh rarebit?

not haggis? Seriously some good things there.

The most delectable British thing I've ever seen to eat:

@escortrod, not haggis? Seriously some good things there. Lancs hotpot is one I love but hadn't thought of for years.

No Matt Hughes (now known in str8 porn as "Danny D")?

His penis is the size of Haggis!

How do you know how well-endowed Paul Haggis is?

Since I visit the U.K. with some frequency I am familiar with eight of these dishes.

 

1. Fish and Chips - I love and since it is popular here in the States I am able to eat it rather often.

2. Black Pudding - My father's family was from Slovenia and "Blood Sausage" was quite common there so I grew up on it and love it. I have some in my freezer right now.

3. Steak and Kidney Pies - One of my favorites. There is an English style Pub quite near my home where I can order it as I frequently do.

4. Yorkshire Pudding - Probably my least favorite as I don't find it very interesting.

5. Shepherd's Pie - Another of my favorites. Easy to make and I frequently prepare it during the cooler months for guests.

6. Bread and Butter Pudding - Nothing new here as it is staple comfort food in many places in the U.S.

7. Full English Breakfast - When visiting the U.K. I usually stay in Bed & Breakfasts. The Full English Breakfast is a great way to start the day and additionally make lunch unnecessary.

8. Bubble and Squeak - An acquired taste and I love it.

The creation story I’m aware of for Chicken Tikka Masala has it originating in Glasgow, Scotland, which has a large Indian community.

 

I’d definitely agree that the Cornish pasty should be included.

That's my understanding, as well. Since this is "British" foods (i.e., from the island) and not "English" foods, it could have easily been included. I mean, they have haggis on their list for some reason.

Well, it’s a list of the “most” British, not “most universally loved”, so haggis qualifies.

And the quintessential British dessert....Spotted Dick.

Here in Phoenix we have a small chain of pasty shops called Cornish Pasty Company. The founder is from Cornwall.

At the Whale and Ale in San Pedro, I've had Shepherd's Pie, Cheese rarebit and sticky toffee pudding. Their menu evolves over time. Funky part of LA. Fun without being overrun by crowds.

Cornish pasties are big in Colorado because of all the Cornish miners who came there during the gold rush. I think they're tasty.

It is always good to hear about finds like this one. Thanks for sharing!

I didn't see Trifle in that list. Love that stuff!

My sister-in-law's mother was English and made outstanding trifle. She always served it at Christmas. She made the sponge cake, the custard, the whipped cream and put it all together and let it refrigerate for quite a long time. It had some sort booze in it but I don't remember what.

Probably sherry, if it was traditional. I find a little Kirsch added to the whipped cream significantly improves a trifle.

I'll take that everyday....all day....all night....He's got the look....that I like!

I'll be in London most of September and look forward to some very good food. And baked goods. and some really big cock.

I will try the Kippered Kiddies with Haggis Parmeasean

I've had haggis once before, never again. It didn't look like the picture, it looked like runny meat oatmeal.

 

I do love scotch eggs. And this made me think of the line in Gosford Park, "An Englishman is never waited on at breakfast".
