Press Release Summary: There is a lot of misunderstanding on the surface about the
subject of British cuisine. This is mainly because British cuisine varies widely,
depending on what part of the country you\'re visiting. The cuisine of London, for
example, is far different from the cuisine of Yorkshire, or the cuisine of tiny,
unfamiliar regions scattered across the country and virtually unknown to Americans.
In my opinion, the true cuisine of the British is not what is found in the big
cities, but the unknown treasures of the table that are hiding in the farmlands and
countryside's and old villages across Great Britain.

There is a lot of misunderstanding on the surface about the subject of British
cuisine. This is mainly because British cuisine varies widely, depending on what
part of the country you\'re visiting. The cuisine of London, for example, is far
different from the cuisine of Yorkshire, or the cuisine of tiny, unfamiliar regions
scattered across the country and virtually unknown to Americans. In my opinion, the
true cuisine of the British is not what is found in the big cities, but the unknown
treasures of the table that are hiding in the farmlands and countryside's and old
villages across Great Britain.

If you are ever wandering the British countryside, and you stop at a local pub or
restaurant for breakfast, prepare yourself. The classic British breakfast is a large
meal, bigger than what we\'re used to as Americans, and most of it tends to be fried.
Fried bacon and eggs, fried bread, and fried tomatoes are standards. The true
British country experience involves a breakfast heavier than your knapsack.

Asking for coffee with your breakfast in the UK is just no fun. Give the tea
sensation a try. British cuisine leans heavily on tea, served with milk and sugar,
the latter of which is usually coarse, brown, and unrefined. Tea is served for any
meal and any time in between. It\'s just as classically British as it sounds.
Any typical British meal, whether it\'s breakfast, lunch or dinner, tends to consist
of some form of potatoes. Especially in the countryside, the British rely heavily on
potatoes, and serve them in very traditional manners. A wonderful British treat is
something called a pasty. Meat, potatoes, vegetables and warm gravy are wrapped in a
flaky bakery crust and sold ready to eat. Pasties are treated like take-out
sandwiches or fast food, walking down the street with a paper cone or napkin wrapped
around them. They keep your hands warm too!

The other major staple of typical British food is, of course, fish and chips. Fish
and chip shops abound in all cities in England. British fish and chips are amazingly
crackly, cooked until the coating is rich brown and salty, and the meat inside
tender white and flaky. Chips, or potato wedges, are served hot and crispy on the
side, and generally the whole thing is smothered in as much vinegar and salt as the
consumer can stand. There is something distinctly British about that malt vinegar-
left on the tables at restaurants like American ketchup.

The smells and flavors of traditional British cuisine are well worth experiencing.
If you find yourself in England, take time out to explore the sites, the back
pathways and rolling fields. And stop at a bakery for a pasty, stop for fish and
chips. Order tea instead of your usual coffee. The British experience just isn\'t the
same if you miss out on this marvelous tradition- authentic British food!
