Toad in the hole



Chips
are NOT French fries. Chips are thicker and with a lot less salt, they are made by rough chopping a potato in to thicker squares and were traditionally eaten with salt and vinegar.

Some regional foods the ladies will be asking for on return home are:

Black pudding -
A large sausage made from pigs blood, suet and seasonings.

Ploughmans lunch - In the United Kingdom, ploughman's lunch is a cold snack or meal, comprising at a minimum a thick piece of cheese (usually Cheddar, Stilton, or other local cheese), pickle (often Branston Pickle, sometimes piccalilli and/or pickled onions), crusty bap or chunk of bread, and butter. It is often accompanied by a green salad; other common additions are half an apple, celery, pâté, sliced hard boiled egg or beetroot. It is a common menu item in English pubs, often shortened when ordering to 'a ploughman's.'

Spotted dick- is a traditional English steamed suet pudding containing dried fruit (usually currants), which is usually served either with custard or with butter and brown sugar.

Toad in the hole -is a traditional British dish comprising sausages in Yorkshire pudding batter, usually served with vegetables and gravy.

Bubble and squeek - Left overs from day before
