The majority of the world's major cities now have establishments that serve classic British cuisine. International hotels typically include a full English breakfast with bread, eggs, bacon, and sausage in addition to fried tomatoes, mushrooms, baked beans, and black pudding, a type of British blood sausage.
Introduction

The majority of large hotels also provide one or two British meals for supper. But look for a place with a name like The Royal Oak, The Rose and Thistle, or The King's Tavern if you want to try British cuisine while improving your English. These establishments take their cues from British pubs and provide a lot of the same alcoholic beverages and food as pubs all throughout the British Isles do.

Foods from all throughout the British Isles are included in British cuisine, and like the meals stated above, these dishes in various ways represent the past. England exploited Irish farmland, food, and livestock after invading Ireland in the 17th century to feed their forces. Due to their extreme poverty as a result, the potato—one of the cheapest commodities at the time—became the staple diet of the Irish. Even today, a lot of the most well-known Irish dishes are potato-based, such as shepherd's pie, which is made of mashed potatoes on top of a mixture of minced meat and diced vegetables. Other well-known Irish dishes include Irish stew, which is a straightforward dish of potatoes, mutton, carrots, and onions.
