Englands national Dish.

If we go down the line of a curry is our national dish then Id say Pasta knocks it side ways.

Most of us will have pasta more regular than a curry .... or am I talking g out of my Mutton balti?

But many of us have pasta in the cupboard, and pour a jar of sauce over it. I don't think it's as revered as the Sunday roast which takes time, planning and several pairs of oven gloves.

I agree. For me Sunday Roast is our national dish.

I have a Roast nearly every Sunday. I dont eat Cod and chips once a month even. I love a king prawn Masala but I doubt I ha 3 or 4 in a year.

But we are all different. Im sure there are some that have a Masala every Friday after the pub.

I have curry once or twice a week. Love it. But I was brought up on meat and veg. I had an uncle who, until not long ago, described pasta as "foreign muck". He's quite the philosopher

If Mrs Bod say lets go for a meal. Italian will be the last thing I fancy.

Yet I dont mind and Italian. Pasta however can be bland.

This is somewhat of a "where do you draw the line" question. One could say that the national dish should comprise of things we used to eat i.e. are native to England. In that case, Turnips should be out, as they were introduced here in 1700.
