The 5 Meals of England

Help Needed!

To celebrate St Georges day this week I shall be cooking a traditional English meal every night. My choices are the following:

1) Sausage & Mash
2) Fish, Chips and Mushy Pees
3) Pie, Mash and Liquor
4) Ham, Egg & Chips
5) Lamb Roast

My problem being that there is an awful lot of potatoes in that list and in all honesty never feel right eating a roast on any day other than Sunday, so I need help. Any suggestions on what to make?

I refuse to accept that Chicken Tikka is an English meal so no curries please!

The English didn't really start eating spuds until the late 19th century anyway, so you can always leave them.

What about boiled egg and soldiers? Jam sandwich? Crisps on white bread? Sherry trifle? Roast beef & Yorkshire Pudding?

*All on the same plate, naturally.

You've gotta sneak a Yorkshire Pudding in there somewhere!

Hardly a culinary challenge

Le Roast Beef. And Weetabix.

A kebab 6 cans of tennants super and a fight or a snog or both.

A Cornish Pastie - ( Depends on your point of view if it's England or not)

And Pork Pie of course

A big bucket of EU shit followed by a bucket of US shit.

Good solid choice, that's in.

You thought about a stew of some kind?

Toad in the hole.

Bubble and Squeak.

Take a leaf out of Heston Bloomin-crap's book and freeze dry a suckling pig in a merengue of spaghetti hoops and pilchards before drizzling it with pureed cuckoos legs and orange Fanta.

To give your dinner party that Heston wow factor. Set it on fire and launch it at your guests with a medievel crossbow.
