Oddities of traditional British snacks.

[Jasonovich]

Only in Britain you'll find these quirky snacks.

I remembered the sawdust floors visiting the Pie and Mash shop in Tower Road near Southwark, we would skip school lunch time meals and head to the pie and mash shop. That lovely green liquor with a dashing's of malt vinegar and steamy hot mince pies.... so so nice, not sure there are any pie shops left.

Watching the golden oldies eating it with their loose dentures, kind of put me off. 😅

They don't know what they are missing then - my favourites are the small party style one bite ones 😛

My son given half a chance would live off sausage rolls. For me it would be a steak bake.

Fish finger butties. Comfort food!

Few years ago, we were at Thurston Sands Devon, outside fish restaurant pub overlooking the coastline.
We had a plate full of John Dory and chunky chips, washed down with Scrumpy on tap, oh it was heavenly!

Cheese on toast.

Was just eating it as I read that.
I like to vary my diet - between cheese and beans on toast (combining the two would be too extravagant for me).

Well I am with you all on cheese on toast but it has to have some thinly sliced ENGLISH tomato on top, just warmed through after you have melted the cheese, and served with a little HP Fruity sauce - absolute heaven.

Talking of scrumpy on tap - In my youf we often frequented a couple of pubs in Clifton, Bristol which were very basic to say the least - the Clifton Tap and The Coronation Tap I recall - and they both had scrumpy on tap (obviously, from the name!) and one served what appeared to be a slightly greenish fluorescent pint (held up to the light) cloudy and with floating bits in it! It was quite potent though!

Sadly, I can't even touch any form of cider of sparkling wine these days - my digestive system does not oblige!
