Traditional British Food

In Britain, there is a lot of traditional food. I have described a few dishes below.

-Porridge

It’s made by boiling ground, crushed, or chopped oats in water, milk, or both.

It’s eaten for breakfast. It can be eaten plain, or with honey or fruit.

-The Full English Breakfast

The full English breakfast consists of sausages, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, black pudding, eggs, and bread.

It is often eaten at the weekend because people have more time to prepare it.

-Scones

They are made of wheat with baking powder and a kind of cake or bread. It’s commonly eaten with clotted cream and jam.

These days, Britain is a multi cultural society. This means that you can eat many kinds of food in Britain. In Manchester and most towns and cities, you can find food you’ve never had before.

I couldn’t introduce every traditional food in Britain and the information might not be enough, so I’m introducing a couple of videos I like.
