Savory English foods
England is not just a beautiful place to live, or to visit, but the foods that come with the culture of England is just as perfect. English folk take their culture very seriously which means food is no joke when it comes to holidays, and celebrating. Many dishes that are from England are now shared all around the world, for example fish and chips. My Grandfather, who is from England is such a fan of English everything. When he came to Canada to live with my family he brought over a new culture I have never experienced. The foods my family and I got to try for holidays were amazing. Bedfordshire Clanger Bangers, Chicken Tikka Masala Cobbler, Black Peas; and Pork Pies. When people think of England they think about Tea, and that is totally correct. Every Sunday night my family now has tea hour. Tea hour is when we eat Bread and Butter pudding with our teas. Almost every English folk will have tea hour. The culture in England is based around foods, and teas with your family. A bit of history is when the Frankish Normans invaded they brought over spices from the east. Which lead to inventing new foods, and tastes. England is a wonderful place to begin with, but when it comes to the food it only gets better.

Very well written Jess! I have always wanted to travel to England, awesome to know there's great food such as pork pie!!Other than the food what else makes you feel connected to your culture? For me and my family, we are brought together by having dinners together and going to each others sports events.

ReplyDeleteHey Jess! I really enjoyed reading about your culture. I enjoy English cuisine as well, my step mother's mom, who is also from England, always makes Yorkshire pudding on holidays! It is a real conversation starter at the dinner table, taking about her different recipes, and brings us all together.
ReplyDeleteMy grandfather comes from England too. Because he came over when he was younger, we don't follow as many of the traditions that you do but Yorkshire puddings are one of my favourite English foods. We have often had them at Christmas and with roast beef dinners.
