The english

It has already become a traditional stereotype about that. That the British are a very prim and pedantic people. Not in everything, but in many ways this certainly corresponds to the truth, in particular it concerns the culinary preferences of the British. English cuisine for a very long time strictly and carefully adhered to centuries-old traditions.

For example, let's consider the typical breakfast of a typical Englishman. Usually fried eggs are served for breakfast with a variety of additives such as fried bacon, tomatoes, sausages, mushrooms and more. By the way, this tradition of purely English breakfast has not disappeared until now, although it is now more characteristic of weekends. Weekdays begin mainly with cornflakes and breakfast cereals. However, a cup of tea with browned toast covered with orange jam remains an unchanged attribute of breakfast.

In the recipes of English cuisine, there are still numerous snacks and sandwiches in a huge variety. Yes, yes, English triangular sandwiches with cucumbers on bread are famous, usually white.

The first dishes of English cuisine are not so widely known. Puree soups and broths are not the main and integral part of the daily meal of the British. The recipes of English cuisine are also very restrained in terms of the use of spices and seasonings, although in the modern world this trend is beginning to gradually change to the opposite.

The English always and still eat a lot of meat. Predominantly beef, pork and lamb. Large pieces of meat are usually baked whole or cut into steaks. They love meat with blood in traditional English cuisine. The meat is usually served with the following: baked or boiled vegetables (potatoes, cabbage, carrots), Yorkshire pudding, as well as gravy and piculi.

English cuisine is, of course, cheeses. For many centuries, the English cheese of choice has remained stilton. Stilton is a blue-mold cow's milk cheese. The taste of mature stilton has pronounced notes of white wine, dark chocolate and herbs.

It is worth mentioning the traditional dishes of English cuisine, without which the conversation about English cooking is unthinkable. Such dishes include unsweetened and sweet puddings served as a side dish for meat and for dessert, potato casseroles with various types of minced meat and fish.

The British are very conservative in those issues that relate to the holiday. For Christmas, stuffed turkey is prepared, which is served with vegetable sides, Christmas pudding. Cross buns are baked over Easter in England. Very common festive dishes are cake and, oddly enough, potatoes with sausages for Guy Fawkes Day.

As for drinks, here the English are very picky and prefer local drinks, which are considered elite all over the world. These include whiskey, brandy, gin, port, rum, black ale and porter - England's traditional beers. In general, the British have a special attitude to beer. They drink it, of course, not in such quantities as, for example, in Germany, but they appreciate this drink, especially barrel beer.

From all above, we can conclude that English cuisine is completely consistent with English temperament - restrained, refined, pedantic, but keeping many and many secrets and secrets available only to true connoisseurs.
