English Cooking

[Highway Man]

I have over the years noticed that our cilinary herritage is slipping away. Now Britains national and favorite dish is a curry? I see more European dishes and ingredients appearing over the old traditional ingredients. We used to be fed on vegatables and home cooking such as a homemade meat pie. Rabbit stews etc. Is it the fact that people have less time to cook traditional recipes or is it that our tastes have altered?

Variety is the spice of life.

Most younger generations may not have grown up eating traditional dishes as frequently meaning they are less likely to cook them for their own families.

People are much busier nowadays 9-5's.

I don't mind curry but it shouldn't be too spicy.

I rather pop into Popeyes.

I agree but not at the cost of our heritage. Bring back traditional English cuisine I say.

I think it is the time thing also, but what about weekends, surely wives have time on their hands to revert back to traditional cooking on a Saturday and Sunday.

What exactly is that?

Meat and two veg with everything boiled the hell out of any flavour?

No not at all, I am talking about lovingly preparing and cooking with passion instead of throwing a few spices into a mish mash of ingredients that just tastes hot.

Cooked up by "wives that have time on their hands to revert back to traditional cooking on a Saturday and Sunday"

A tad misogynistic don't you think?

You and mottie ought to get a room

I am encouraging my wife to cook traditional meals on a weekend as she hasnt the time during the week as we are a modern family and she works also. But has the weekends to cook. I think it would be a good hobby for her too.
