Since I've been living abroad, many different people have asked me to name typical British dishes. I have, however, struggled to think of an answer. Yes, we do have our own national dishes.
Fish and chips, as you could guess, is made up of battered fish and chips. It is often accompanied by mushy peas (豌豆糊), which consists of peas mashed up to form a thick paste. The majority of British people really do love this dish but it is not something that we would eat, say, on a weekly basis.British people associate this dish with the seaside and it's something that will usually be eaten on a day trip there.
This is made up of roast meat, usually chicken or beef, accompanied by roast vegetables and a meat sauce. It is usually eaten on a Sunday, perhaps for a special family dinner.
Although we do have our traditional dishes, we do not eat these on a daily basis. On a daily basis many British people will eat rice or pasta dished.You can see this by looking at the range of international foods in the supermarket or at the variety of different restaurants you can find on our high streets.
However, perhaps unlike other countries, we tend to prefer to cook recipes influenced by other cuisine.
A. We eat them as the seasons change.
B. But how much do we actually eat them?
C. In conclusion, we do have our national dishes.
D. Another favourite British dish is the roast dinner.
E. Our diet has been greatly influenced by other countries.
F. It's also not usually something that you would cook at home.
G. You'll be served a traditional dish if you get invited for dinner at a British family's home.
