Cornish pasty
Few snacks can compete with a freshly baked Cornish pasty, fresh out of the oven. Traditionally, it originated as a quick on-the-move meal for tin miners in the region, but today it’s a favourite with every true-blue Brit. Flaky pastry pockets stuffed with a mix of steak, potato, Swedish turnip and onions—this is one savoury snack that will appeal to everyone.
Laverbread
Contrary to how it sounds laverbread is not bread at all. It is, in fact, edible seaweed endemic to the region of Wales, and a favourite amongst its people. Flavoured to taste a little like olives and oysters, try it along with a side of cockles (saltwater clams) and bacon for a hearty Welsh breakfast accompanied by a freshly-brewed pot of tea.
Yorkshire pudding
In the United Kingdom, a good old fashioned roast isn’t complete without a Yorkshire pudding. A big crispy-baked mound of batter, it is traditionally eaten soaked in the gravy of the meat roast.
The jellied eel is a traditional East London dish which originated as a cheap source of protein for the city’s poor back in the 18th and 19th century. Here, the eel is cut into round pieces and boiled with vinegar to produce a jelly-like substance.
