This is a recommended website for all gourmets on Fodor's. It's a gallery of 129 artistic pictures of contemporary British food, masterly prepared and - as the author says - quite authentic. (However, with a bias towards North English taste.)

What's your favourite pic?

I like the British Christmas dinner (no. 60). Hmmm....

OMG! That is all.

>>>OMG!<<<

You do not need to worship those British chefs. Their cooking may be divine - but after all, they are not gods.

These bring back lovely memories of eating in the UK. Whilst some of the food isn't exactly the healthiest on the planet I have had great and fun meal experiences there.

My favourites would be #35, Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding. Others inclulde the lamb chops (around #90 something). There are several British food I love as well, including steak and Guiness pie which I make often and bangers and mash.

michael,

what on earth are you trying to do? put off all those lovely foreign tourists? kill us all by cholesterol by proxy?

some of it was so grim even i couldn't recognise it, and as my family will testify, I'm pretty undescriminating when it comes to fry -ups!

do tell me that this was a p..s-take!

yours in horror, ann

I also admire no. 21: "Steak pudding, corned beef hash and a toasted roll. Pre-digested food!" I had always thought pre-digested food was a patented invention of McDonald's.

Hi trav,

Love no. 4

As my old mum would say, "God bless his (the compiler's) stomach!
I have never seen a TV dinners version of a Christmas dinner before

Sissy stuff!
Have a look at the Munchy Box

Yummy Glasgow salad ;-)

I couldn't get beyond number 40 before I started to feel really queezy...............what revolting, revolting, revolting meals! Now go and have a cholesterol test before you keel over Traveller.
PS: I found the ONE floret of brocoli lying beside the roast beef quite sad.

You have to wonder about previous browswers on the site traveller's found though.

Some ghastly commercial concoction of yoghurt, sugar (branded 'honey' of course, as if that made it any healthier than stuff out of a Tate & Lyle packet) and vanilla gets the voters behaving like a bunch of nutritionally iliterate California girlies. While they mostly go "yeuch" at a decent haggis.

Wooses, the lot of them.

That was fascinating. I confess I'm now craving mushy peas.

I'm troubled by the omission of what I understood to be Britain's national dish, chicken tikka masala.

What is the white substance on top of the pork pie in No. 109?

I now consider myself warned.

My vote to #125, grilled trout, as an attractive dish. The jam tart at #129 second place. I started at the end.

Could there be anything more gross and utterly unnecessary than a Spam fritter?

traveler1959, thanks for your great tour de force in everyday British cooking and eating. Looks as if you folks had a great time - here's to the bangers and mushy peas!

Traveller1959, I am almost speechless. Are those dishes what the typical Brit eats? And travel2live2, if the photos bring back lovely memories of eating in the UK I am truly speechless.

Hi loveitaly,

they are NOT typical of what we eat. some of us occasionally eat the odd pea or lettuce leaf or something that hasn't been fried. some of us ..oh, what's the point? all your prejudiced about British food have now been re-inforced and nothing i say will make any difference.

Here's to the hardened arteries of the entire population of the UK.

regards, ann

I'll see your mad pictures of "British Food" and raise you American recipe cards from the 70s.:
