англійська кухня
British cuisine encompasses cooking styles and traditions from England. While some criticize English food as bland, the basic ingredients like fresh peas or potatoes are flavorful when simply prepared. Fish and chips is likely the most identifiable English dish. Traditional Sunday roasts include roasted meats like beef or lamb served with roasted potatoes and vegetables with sauces depending on the meat. Meat pies and pasties filled with items like steak and kidney or chicken and mushroom also reflect long-standing English cooking traditions.
