Everyone knows that England is famous for their fish and chips, and although they’re always delicious when you go you should find some other local dishes to try. This list is the best guide to eating your way through the country, so make sure you try everything at least once!

Curry

Indian food is one of the Brits’ favorite types of food, and there is plenty over it all over the country. Curries, dal, tikkas, and more are all prepared better than you’ve ever experienced in your life. Since England colonized India for so long, there are many people from India and Pakistan in England, which make the food extremely authentic and delicious.

Full English Breakfast

This is something that can get into the realm of a touristic trap, but honestly, it’s so worth it. A full English breakfast is a plate of eggs, bacon, sausages, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, toast, and sometimes more. It’s so hearty and filling, there’s really no better way to start the day.

Shortbread

Shortbread cookies date back to the UK from at least the 12th century. These simple cookies might only have three ingredients, but when you bite into one, you’ll be in heaven. Get a cup of tea and a shortbread biscuit and enjoy a true English delight.
