Traditional English Cuisine
National and local cuisine is a significant
part of identity. Most people in England, nowadays, eat a wide variety of
food styles from around the world and this is pushed as a way of reinforcing
multiculturalism. This in itself is not a bad thing, but unfortunately many
of our traditional recipes, some very good, have been forgotten. There is no doubt that this disconnect with our
traditional cuisine is part of a wider loss of identity. Many people no
longer understand where their food comes from, how it is reared or grown or
how it is cultivated and processed. The link between our food supply and our
native land in which it is grown is much weaker than before and most people
no longer follow their mother’s ad grandmother’s recipes, but rather than of
celebrity chefs and magazines. This section of the website therefore aims to
redress this by presenting some of the traditional cuisine of England. It is
not a collection of recipes as such and it is not meant to be exhaustive.
Instead it aims to showcase some of our typical dishes and hopes that people
will remember long forgotten meals and try them again or simply experiment
with our national cuisine. |
