minus-square frazorth ( @frazorth@feddit.uk ) linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoIsn’t toast normally dried? On a more serious point, beans on toast is not the national dish on any list I’ve seen. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_dish#U Looking up UK or England gives Chicken Tikka Masala, Fish and Chips or Sunday Roast. Scotland has haggis, Wales has Crawl and NI has Ulster Fry.

For example, the US has Turkey in general, and Apple Pie, which is an English dish Realistically, Pies should be the national dish of the UK (Mince Pie, Shepherds Pie, Pork Pie, Pasty, Fish Pie, Many Dessert Pies) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:British_pies
minus-square Serpent ( @Serpent@feddit.uk ) linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoDoes pork pie fall into the realms of local delicacy?

minus-square NuPNuA ( @NuPNuA@lemm.ee ) linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoDoes a pasty count as a pie? I think they should be on our list of national delicacies too.
minus-square Risk ( @Risk@feddit.uk ) linkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoCornish pasty is definitely distinct from a pie, in my opinion.
minus-square frazorth ( @frazorth@feddit.uk ) linkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-21 year agoI would agree that pies are very much a national treasure. It’s amusing watching the Americans try and claim pies because they make fruit pies. Of even the dessert pies, that’s only a small subset!
minus-square noodle ( @noodle@feddit.uk ) linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoBeans on toast is probably less of a “national dish” and more an affordable comfort food. I guess the American equivalent would be biscuits and gravy?
