Traditional British dishes for amateur chefs

British cuisine continues to be underrated, as there are still some people who find it lacking in variety and taste. Contrary to belief, numerous traditional British food choices are quite fulfilling and palatable. Some of them are even a tad easy to make, so much so that even those who are beginners in the kitchen can learn to cook them. Below are some of them:

Toad in the hole 

The British have crafted a lot of ways to enjoy sausage, and one of those dishes is the toad in the hole. It is not difficult to learn how to prepare the dish, and it can be completed within an hour. The meal consists of roasted sausages, usually pork, that are baked together with Yorkshire pudding. You can use various herbs to give the dish a distinct flavor. 

Shepherd’s pie 

Shepherd’s pie is one of the staple foods of British cuisine. It is made of sautéed meat (the British love using lamb for this dish) that is topped with a mash primarily made of potato and egg yolks. Preparing it typically lasts for only a little over an hour. 

Full English breakfast 

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and it seems like the British would agree as the full English breakfast has captured the heart and taste buds of many people even outside U.K. The meal is typically comprised of bacon, sausage, and eggs, among others, all of which do not require high-level skills to prepare.
