There was a very good ITV TV drama produced a couple or three years ago (The Long Shadow) that showed the utter inadequacies/prejudices of the West Yorkshire police force - not really a good enough excuse but they were very different times.
As long as the bar next door doesn't suggest that you follow the yorkshire ripper pudding wrap by getting hammered on screwdriver cocktails.....

·There's a restaurant on the Gold Coast here that does Yorkshire puddings in wrap-form called "Yorkie Rippa", and they're SO good. Roast chicken or brisket options. Like a Sunday dinner wrapped up. Going to get one now
I thought been sent to Australia was supposed to be a punishment? Not eating delicious, controversially named, food!

·British Food—
The long-standing reputation for the poor quality of British food (which was certainly propagated by the French) might have its roots in the strange tastes of the Romans in Briton.
Such as Lark’s tongues
Which brings us to the King Crimson 1973 Album, “Lark’s Tongues in Aspic” which combines the strangeness of ancient Roman cuisine with the British love of jelly with meat.
And the recipe... (sans aspic for the Romans)
The above recipe from the website, Romans in Britain
As for mushy peas? Perhaps this Roman recipe for pea soup can explain the long-standing allure for Britons.
https://www.romanobritain.org/2-arl_food/arl_roman_recipes-pea_soup.php
Do note that the traditional British recipe for mushy peas, using peas allowed to dry in the fields (marrowfat peas), sounds suspiciously Roman. But, they are not as liquid-y as the full-on soup versions of the Romans, and, before them, the Greeks.
Furthermore, concerning the mushiness (porridge-like?) nature of British pea tastes, 'Thick soup from peas is less flatulence-inducing than that made from broad beans and is easier to digest.'

·Lark's tongues? Okay...
Anyway, pea soup is great, in particular the French Canadian version...
The addition of the herb savory really makes this special. Canned version is what I eat most often but have also made it myself.

·I am at it again with food from the British isles. Sheppards pie is simple enough for my cooking skills and its very filling. I served it with beer and lingonberry jam.
Oops I forgot the dessert. Also from the British isles.

·Full monty.
I appreciate it on travels. A nice hotel brekkie or a set brekkie somewhere far away, like a Southeast Asian holiday destination. It’s nice. I fancy it. But, when I for the first time in my life had it in Great Britain this last winter it was DISGUSTING. I mean, honestly… It was a bad start and a huge disappointment. Ok, it was in Edinburgh.
Maybe should have a Scotland unappreciation thread. Maybe not. I loved all the Caledonian pints I had.
