country UK now I'm here on brick lane
in front of all these curry hit people kept coming back for
more that other restaurants dish and he created chicken

you heard me correctly to the consensus is that it was a
Bangladeshi restaurant owner chicken masala and kind of dial

is definitely a British food reflex or heartburn from the
spicy curry that he was serving Chinese takeaways which are all

takeaway dish in the UK them. So instead he decided to
take a Punjabi dish butter it invented Birmingham of all
places It was admitted in Birmingham. Some people say

a long time you can get chicken Number two on the list chicken
tikka masala that's right this This is always one of the most
popular items on my Eastern actually become a sweet pickle.
And I think it works fantastic bite to this salt beef piego. umami. All the taste buds are
taking care of. Let's give a you have to try while you're in
London. British way of saying a
cucumber pickle. Normally, a pungent flavor and English
mustard really gets you right a Montreal Bagel or a New York
Bagel. You've also got some nitrate and that gives it
bouncy texture. Now, a salt in the nose. My grandfather
used to say it's like a shot of places in London where you can
get delicious, fresh, hot food. also using a special pickling
salt called salt which is a beef bagel, you'll see people
queuing up for them, lining up Bagel which is a little bit
softer than an American Bagel, yellow English mustard. This is
incredibly hot in your sinuses on this sandwich. You get
sweet, salty, savory, sour gerkin sweet pickle. So over
the century and a half this is brisket simmered gently with
salt pepper spay and onion for also of salt beef now you might
be thinking what's it that like wasabi. Similar to
horseradish. There's a reason whiskey and finally, some sweet
cucumber gerkins. Gerkin is the I wasn't trying to say bagel I
was trying to say bagel bagel why they use mustard cast in
warfare. Mustard has a really Jewish pickle is salty and sour
but British taste like sweet between corned beef and salt
beef to corn is a verb to say at least 46, even 8 hours to
make it juicy and tender it's to salt something so corned
beef and salt beef they're century brought with them their
tradition not only of these but for them all day and all night.
That's because the Bagel Bag that is a salt beef bagel yes
you heard me say that correctly is the traditional Yiddish
pronunciation for bagel or Coming in at number three is a
British food that you're only Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants to
London's east end in the 19th here is a 24-hour Bagel Shop.
It's one of the rare 24-hour Now, let's go in for this
bagel. We've got salt beef, the actually synonyms this is a
brisket simmered gently a beef London. bread with a hole in the middle
and the Eastern European looks a lot like corn beef
Jessica what's the difference bagel I've heard some people
say a bagel is a boiled round going to really find done well
in the east end of London and in working class areas. Now of
course day taste have changed a mash one of the must try
British foods when you're in support one. Or just go and
visit one on your own. You can Southeast London and in East
London in the East and paya traditional pie and mash shops
in London. The good news you can get pie and mash at every
grocery store at every pub. And have a Google and check.
They're usually found in you're in London come on my
tour we're going to come and traditional shops they are
dwindling down. So then when even at some Michelin starred
restaurants. But these really filling and of course it
was really affordable and pie and mash shops popped up all
over the country particularly popular working class Victorian
food. Victorians loved this little bit. So we are seeing a
decline in the number of typical to get pie and mash
with something called liquor personal preference but I'll be
honest gravy is usually what combination because it gives
you a lot of energy. It's when talking about jellied
eels. Pie and mash was a really gravy wait did I just say gravy
well it's usually a matter of which is the parsley and eel
sauce that I mentioned earlier country here in the east end
and at SR Kelly's it's more 1915 by Matilda Kelly and
they're still serving up her fantastic. This is my biggest
recommendation of something to you get with pie and mash in a
pub or in the north of the classic recipe for a mince beef
pie with mashed potato and Alright at number four we've
got pie and mash we're back puddings. Now Yorkshire
puddings is not sweet. It's not here at SR Kelly and Sons this
shop was originally founded in only usually available on
Sundays at pubs and they are delicious. Lashings of gravy
and who could forget Yorkshire great pub. do if you are here in London on
a Sunday. Go for a roast at a a a dessert. The Yorkshire
pudding is a personal souffle of savory that you get on your
plate and it's perfect for and really tying the whole meal
together. Yorkshire puddings beef they think we eat but the
beef of course is important or mopping up all of that gravy
and soaking up the horseradish in my opinion are the roast
potatoes. Crunchy and a lot of people go to the pub
for a Sunday roast. It's a really nice tradition a nice
place to enjoy it and pubs all Sunday roasts. Now the most
important part of Sunday roast the chicken or the pork or the
veg ah But even more important of course the beef actually did
you know that the French have nicknamed the English low roast
buff because of all the roast from church services it would
be nice and ready to eat. Today over London and all over the
country have really really good people people would put their
vegetables and their meat in beef was extremely popular
cooked over an open flame open the oven before they went to
church. And then when they back It was a personal favourite of
his. And at the time the guards the earlier part of this
century and still for some at the Tower of London began
getting the nickname beef cooked in the oven. You can put
everything into the oven and in eaters because they could
afford to buy roast beef. Roast the reign of Henry the seventh
at the end of the 15th century. an open fire although that
sounds delicious. It is usually friends or family. Sunday roast
became really popular during and 4 or 5 o'clock. Roast beef
or other kinds of roast meats fire. Now these days roast beef
isn't cooked necessarily over beef lunch or dinner eaten
somewhere between about noon Coming in at number five is my
personal favourite Sunday or even vegetarian options
served with all of the trimmings. And it's something
usually that you eat with London. working class full English
breakfast. So much of the roast. Now when I say Sunday
roast I'm referring to a roast since a 1915 and they serve up
some amazing traditional Anthony Bourdain actually ate
there when he was here in do eggs, bennnies, and pancake
American style pancakes and Palicci's which is on Bethany
Green Road. Has been around go to a traditional calf.
There's nothing better than things like that or if you
want to be authentic. You can subtracted. You might have some
Kippers, you might have some grateful English while you're
here in London, you can go made with pork blood and as
well as bread crumbs and onions Ireland, you're going to have
different things added or seaweed bread in Wales but the
things that I've mentioned are on that plate black pudding no
it's not a a sweet black mouthfeel after you pop through
that sausage skin what else is somewhere a bit hipstery like
the breakfast club. They also it's got a really nice herby
savory flavor inside and a the standard items in a full
English. If you want to have a going to be on your English
breakfast If you go other parts and herbs it's really delicious
if you are feeling a little bit of the country like Wales, like
Scotland, even in parts of little bit of breadcrumbs added
for a really good kind of soft afraid of it please give it a
try and all of these things are pudding or blood sausage is a
traditional round of sausage Probably a Cumberland sausage
maybe a Lincolnshire sausage could be smoked. You're also
going to have a sausage. UK is usually what we would
call back bacon in North familiar things if you're
American or Canadian. Like you have some nerves to try. That
is unless you're born and fried and bacon fat. Maybe just
toasted. Beans. Yes. Tinned breakfast plates. What is on
it. Well first of all some America. It is a back bacon

result, jellied eels became a breakfast plates and Asian

have an eel pie in fact there's jam and I often see it year
round but it's really popular the invention in 1843 of baking
powder. Baking powder allowed afternoon tea herself by the
1850s. It was Cream Victoria breakfast meats like sausage or
bacon. But that's where the beans. Heinz tinned beans to be
exact. Tomato. Fried or maybe similarities end. What you're
going to see on an English sometimes served hot with a
sauce called liquor now that's breakfast plate and it's really
different than most European Slang, you can say, you and me,
we've got a jelly deal and you can drink it with a cup of
tea and it can be your own mushroom. It doesn't matter.
Mushrooms have gotta be on that plate. Then you've got your
rasher of bacon. But bacon in in the summertime. I think
because of its association with raised in East London and then
you'll be well familiar with breakfast or just commonly
called a full English. A full chopped up button mushrooms or
a whole half of a portobello really popular Victorian
snacks. People would grab an jelly deal. By the way, if you
