Traditional British Dishes - part 2

Traditional British Dishes 

Do you want to know something more about traditional British dishes?

Some of them are really strange and unusual... or have a funny name...

Yorkshire Pudding

 It's a meal made just from flour, eggs and milk. The sort of batter is baked in the oven and I think it's quite normal. After taking it from the oven it looks great! Like a breadroll with a big hole. British like eating Yorkshire pudding with gravy. They often eat it at Christmas Eve. That's strange but there's also something like „Yorkshire pudding day”!

Toad-in-the-hole

Toad-in-the-hole it's not a very special dish. It's made from the same ingredients as Yorkshare pudding but with the sausages. The name of that dish doesn't encourage you to eat it, it's a little bit horrible and disgusting...

Bangers and Mash

Bang! Bang! Bangers and Mash is quite a normal dish but I like the name of it. It's just mashed potatoes and sausages. The interesting fact about it is why the sausages are called bangers. Do you know why? The reason why they have such a strange nickname is that during wartime they were filled with water. They often exploded with this special ”bang” when they were fried.

Do you want to make some British dish by yourself ? Maybe you can try making Yorkshire pudding? So...
