    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    England may be a small island, but the traditional cuisine is large, meaty and full of vegetables. Although England may not have the best reputation for food, there are a number of tasty meals that derive from England.

    Fried English Breakfast

    The fried English breakfast was created during the industrial revolution to give workers energy. This traditional breakfast consists of eggs, bacon, sausage, tomatoes, whole-cup mushrooms and saute potatoes. This breakfast can have as many as 3,000 calories.

    Cottage Pie

    A cottage pie is another traditional supper in England. It is made of minced beef and vegetables (such as peas, carrots and broccoli) and topped with mashed potatoes.

    Fish and Chips

    Fish and chips are one of England's most popular meals. The dish originated along England's seaside and is made of breaded cod, haddock or huss and french fries (or chips) doused in malt vinegar. It is often bought at chipperies as "to-go" meals.

    Shepherd's Pie

    Shepherd's pie is not a dessert, but rather a pie that is made with minced lamb, vegetables and mashed potatoes. It is a popular Sunday meal.

    Yorkshire Pudding

    Yorkshire pudding is a common side dish made of flour, eggs and milk and covered with gravy. It is served with roast beef.
