    Ye Olde English great food thread

    I've been away lads in Ye Olde England, so these are a bit delayed, but here are some great lunches from the home of Great (British) food.

    The king of them all: The Plouughman's (or is it a ploughperson's these days?) with three Lancashire cheeses, pickles and local ham.

    Fish and chunky chips

    Lamb shank

    Although I'd have this down as the best pub food I've had anywhere in a long time in Mendip land.

    Tomahawk trio of pork and apple in lattice pastry with crackling in a cider jus (and a pint of cider). I'll give you 2 pics of this for your wank bank.

    Slow roasted beef short rib, smoked mash potato, roscoff onion and peppercorn sauce.

    The classic British curry (jhalfrezi and naan breads not in shot but plenty more where these came from ):

    Lads (it is mostly lads these days on this thread, innit?), as I said above, there are plenty more where these have come from, so do you think it might be better to start up a Ye Olde English great food thread, so that we can keep everything together in one place (and this would also take away the quandary I'm in when choosing the appropriate thread for our curries).

    I'm all ears and open to suggestions because I know that it means a lot to you to be up to date with happenings in the world famous food scene of the foggy isles.

    What about some jellied eels. Surely it's not a trip to the UK without them?

    The rib is about the only one I would attempt, but then they drowned it in gravy.

    Malin was born in Barnsley. He now resides in Leeds, West Yorkshire, where he worked at a butcher's shop in Kirkgate Market. His longtime partner Carrie Taylor died suddenly of a heart attack in February 2021. He has six children and one grandchild.

    In 2022, Malin became a silent business partner in Brody's burger restaurant in Pudsey.

    Here he is at murgatroyds chippy, possibly the finest chippy in the uk.

    The great British breakfast! The regional treats that make the perfect fry-up – from laverbread to fruit pudding

    Unsung specialities from soda farls to dock puddings will ensure you breakfast like a king. Here are 10 dishes to tr
    Despite the somewhat chequered reputation of traditional British cooking, even its biggest critics will usually concede that breakfast represents its high point – and, while I wouldn’t say it’s all downhill from there, let’s be honest, the all-day fry-up is popular for a reason.

    As the late AA Gill once wrote: “Breakfast is everything. The beginning, the first thing. It is the mouthful that is the commitment to a new day, a continuing life” – and, as a country, we really take that commitment seriously.

    Not only is “le fry-up” one of the things we’re most famous for abroad, but unlike the royal family, or Mr Blobby, it’s one national treasure we can all be proud of, whether we sit down to a full Scottish in the morning, or grab a vegan sausage bap on the go.

    Mind you, that’s just about all we agree on, as I discovered last year when I set out on my bike to write a book on the subject – Red Sauce Brown Sauce. Any discussion about the great British breakfast tends to get bogged down in baked beans, or end in fisticuffs over back versus streaky – to say nothing of whether porridge should be salty or sweet, or the proper thickness of peel for marmalade. Instead of squabbling about such details, here are a few regional treasures I encountered en route that I think we should all be fighting to put on our plates:

    What a place. Those meals will live long in the memory (as long as you're not sampling too many of those 6% ciders).

    Yeah, I was surprised they let me in when they heard my accent! Dead posh down there; I think the money comes from all the locals having pedicures done.

    It was certainly well over a oner anyway by the time I left.

    Funnily enough, the only time I was in a Spoons was for a brekky in Blackpool; it was cracking value as ever.

    People already on the piss too at 8am.

    Tbf I t should be in the impulse buy thread as I only went in for a coffee.
    Mix of espresso and latte.

    The food was a 3/10, left most of it as it wasn't up to my usual high standards.

    ^^
    My old dear took me to a harvester for brekky in leigh when i was back.
    it was surprisingly good quality and value
    and killed an hour while the wife and kids were shopping

    ive only eaten at spoons once, and was exactly what i expected.
    leffe being 3.29 a pint more than made up for the experience.

    the spoons in Keswick is in an old courthouse
    you can sit at the bench while having that Leffe.
    we won it at wemberlee
    we on it in gay paree...

    For me, lashings of gravy are part of the great British roast.
    No namby-pamby for us, no 'reductions' or 'jus' for the rosbif.

    I disagree.

    A pool of gravy is only needed if the meat is overcooked.

    A sauce just flavoured to taste the same as the meat is stiflingly unimaginative.

    He'll be lucky to see 60 and if he does then I should imagine he will suffer diabetic amputation, atherosclerosis and an inability to walk more than a 100 yards without crippling claudication.

    Indeed, your typical down-to-earth Northern tyke, a fat-arsed, lardy obdurate twat.

    Ha! Just read his partner died of " a fookin' heart attack ". Quelle surprise.

    You pretentious twat.

    A roast rib of beef, roast pots, Yorkshire pudding, kale, peas and carrots and lashings of a gravy reduction made from the meat residues flushed from the roasting pan with a splash of red wine, a dash of port, the drained vegetable water helped with a cup of seasoned beef stock and thickened with a sprinkling of flour is the meal's crowning glory.

    And a good dollop of HP sauce on the side.
