I think in a recent survey 'curry & chips' came out 
as 'quintessentially English'. Oh dear.

I'm with you. I love a bit of Spotted Dick (no rude jokes thank-you 
JW) and of course the Roast Beef of Olde Englande (BSE / F&M 
permitting). And don't forget Bubble&Squeak and Bread&Pullit ...

Foreign food, pah! :))
