vicklemos: - Pigeon kidney pie

God, why?

Pigeon... kidney...?
I'm with Sachys on that one, never heard of that being served anywhere, not even posh restaurants...

Pigeon is absolutely delicious though, but I wouldn't eat kidneys (there's or any other animals)

Steak and Kidney pie is a common thing, though see the above comment.. I personally wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

Dalswyn: Last time I was in England, my plate had some hash brown on it. I inquired about the absence of black pudding and was told it was rather an Irish/Scottish thing. Can you confirm that?
I think in a very technical sense black pudding isn't part of a 'traditional' full English, but I think a lot of places do it anyway (usually optionally for those who don't like it)

I prefer the Northern Irish variant with potato scones and fried soda bread. Mmmmmmmm.....

catpower1980: BTW, what are the dishes in a sunday roast dinner, the name alone makes me hungry now.... ^o^
Some kind of roast meat (Chicken, Pork, Beef or Lamb with Turkey becoming more common too), roast potatoes, possibly boiled or mashed too, carrots (boiled and/or roasted), peas, roast parsnips, stuffing (sausage meat is best), yorkshire pudding (not always, but I don't think you can have a roast dinner without them) and gravy.

I've probably forgotten something too...

I have always had sausages in Germany when I am over there. I suppose it could be just the hotels catering I suppose.

A whole list of other veg options for one thing (though I personally avoid the stinky ones).
I'll also add other stuff as well thats less traditional like tomatoes, chorizo, black pudding... a sunday roast is really rhe base components and a bunch of leftovers (in a lot of areas the veg that is roated is traditionally leftovers from soup made for the weekdays).

it is actually - its sausages that aren't (they're posh food by comparison).

Our oddity IS our oddity. England is a very eccentric nation, and that's something great imo. I'll let the Scots, the Welsh and the Irish speak for themselves, but they, too, have unbelievably eccentric traits of their own. As a whole, Great Britain is still a very great place to be, deep down, despite all the shit going on in the world.

I'm never sure... the amount of discussions I've seen (or heard) on what makes up a English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish breakfast is ridiculous, and no one ever agrees.

Cavenagh: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_pudding

I'd say it's a british thing, always had it as a kid [irish parents], so did my friends [English and Scottish parents]

my dad used to bring some very nice white pudding [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_pudding ] back from ireland on his trips [pub crawls]

not to everyones liking, but I like it.
Interesting! The French have the same black pudding as you (though not for breakfast), but have a very different take on white pudding (it includes milk, but no oatmeal).

Definitely more appealing than a continental breakfast!

No kidneys? You're missing something. Cooked with some mustard, cream and vermouth, they're quite tasty. Well, ok, they stink when you cook them.
