English Recipes
Apologies if this has been done before.
I do the cooking in the household and I'd like to try to cook more English meals. I generally find most British stuff here to be Irish or a poor imitation of what I want. When i search online I can't even find a pasty recipe that isnt Cornish. (I can make a dry pasty just fine thank you)
Anyone got some recipes to share or could someone point me to a decent English recipe site?

Re: English Recipes
Steak & Kidney pudding is always a winner, especially topped with extravagant amount of gravy.
Prufrock has a good recipe for that.

Re: English Recipes
BBC Food
BBC Good Food
Are good websites
Look up recipes for:
Oldham Parkin
Bury Simnel Cake
Scouse (Lob)
Lancashire Hotpot
Eccles Cakes
Sticky Toffee pudding
Rag Puddings
Suet Pastry
Steak and Kidney (as mentioned)
Treacle Toffee
Chorley Cakes
Milk Loaf
GingerBread
Many old fashioned British recipes contained offal, so they are falling/have fallen out of fashion.
You'll probably want to buy some books though, as much vaunted as the internet is, it doesn't scratch the surface of the world's books. Particular favourites include:
Rhubarb and Black Pudding (Paul Heathcoat - from Bolton of all places).
Nose to Tail Eating (Fergus Henderson).

This is pretty much the only English recipe you need:

How can you discuss English menus without cod and chips and Roast beef, roast spuds, carrots, peas and gravy?

Re: English Recipes
I think the Brit's underestimate what a good roast actually achieves. Because it is pretty simple we presume it not to be worth referring to.
Roast Rib of beef is as good as anything can be.
Slow roasted pork, which almost shreds as you cut it !!!
Belly pork, cooked at a v low oven temperature for hours ... amazing
Then out use of shellfish is good also, though many people are not 'into shellfish', it is superb, proerly dealt with. Simple too, for the most part.
