In the event of nuclear war, Brits more concerned about their tea supply

I'll stop trolling on English cuisine long enough to put this dish forward for snoopy to poo poo.

Cottage pie, is a traditional English dish made with minced meat covered with mashed potato and often topped with cheese. The dish is traditionally made with lamb meat; when this is the case the dish is known as shepherd's pie, though the term shepherd's pie is often (erroneously) used to mean a variety made with any kind of meat.

The meat used in the dish is traditionally beef or lamb though turkey is also often used today.

Traditionally, the meat is prepared by dicing or mincing, and frying with chopped onions, seasoning, and dripping (from the roast) or stock. Other ingredients can include garlic, chopped carrots, peas or other vegetables, mushrooms, herbs (such as rosemary and oregano), tomato purée, and wine. A quick version can be made using canned oxtail soup.

The meat is laid in a deep pie dish and covered with mashed potato, to which milk, butter or dripping may be added. For a decorative effect, the mashed potato can be piped onto the meat layer. The pie is then baked in the oven, making the top surface golden and crisp. Grated cheese can be sprinkled on top prior to baking.

Someday someone will find an English dish I would voluntarily eat, and serve it to me. Until that day, I will continue to believe what I believe

Bacon, eggs and fried bread. Drop the bread into the frying pan at the same time as the bacon. Serve fried eggs on top of fried bread with the bacon on the side.

The british show their lack of taste by adding milk and sugar en masse to their tea... tea can and should be drunk by itself, and should be good to taste by itself

Mighty Leaf tea is pretty decent, it's full leaf tea-in-bags at least.

Of course you should never add milk and sugar to 'green leaf;' tea (or sugar at all). But brown/black leaf tea (dried) needed milk and sugar to soften the flavour for European tastes.
