You just sit back and enjoy your grits and vittles.

Thats my speciality ,cheese and onion pie ,the trick is making sure the onions are properly cooked....

I must admit I make a great cheese and onion pie........YUMMY

My speciality is Bacon hotpot......lovely.

But in winter I make a Onion Curry......very simple to make but tastes wonderful and keeps you warm.

There so obviously has been a decline in british food, I don't know how you can possibly not see it. Everywhere you look there's chinese and indian fast food outlets, all the northern chippys are chinese, supermarkets have curry pot counters and pizza counters. brewers fayre even sell curry now. Lots of service area that used to little chef are curry paces, there's two here, another at northhampton, a pub up the road is an indian restuarant.

can't stand indian and i'm not keen on chinese, my favourite is chicken and chips or pie and chips.

Yesterday the ex inlaws invited me to dinner for a sunday roast, beef with yorkshires, mmmmmm.

Fish finger butties are yummy,you should try them.

cherokee · 16-10-2006, 12:34

I used to love the stuff....chicken madras, beef vindaloo...I just couldn't eat enough of it. But now I can't stand it..a curry dish simply reminds me of something that has been festering away in an unflushed toilet bowl for the last six months. My apologies if that may offend some people, but that's the way it now is for me.

I don't feel that much different about pizzas, either - or at least the rubbish that masquerades under that name in the UK. If you have one in the freezer, take it out, defrost it and bung it in the compost heap or the garden waste recycyling box for HBC to carry away. You'll feel much better.

A tip about sausages!

Don't bung 'em in the frying pan, or even under the grill....stick 'em in a roasting tray - a bit of oil at the bottom just to stop sticking - and do 'em slowly for 30/40 minutes in the oven; and whatever you do, don't prick the skin.

Enjoy!

Although I love good Brirish grub, I do like good food full stop, wherever in the world it comes from.

Some of my favourite food was consumed in the south of France. Bouillabaisse, or escargot smothered in garlic butter and fresh herbs, yum. Not to mention authentic Italian food, which is savoured over there with a glass of wine, not something scoffed down in front of the goggle box.

I like most foods Italian Chinese, Indian, but you cant beat good old English. In fact I've always said that if someone decided to do home deliveries form an English Fish and Chip shop they make a fortune. We can get most types of food delivered to the door so why not good old fish and chips
