'Funny, informative, a love poem to all that's great in British
cooking ... from the humble cheese sandwich, through fish and chips
and curry, to the ubiquitous Sunday roast ... Part Nigel Slater,
part Bill Bryson, and wholly delicious' Michael Simkins, Mail on
Sunday A journey through British food, from the acclaimed author of
The Apple Orchard In Britain, we have always had an awkward
relationship with food. We've been told for so long that we are
terrible cooks and yet when someone with a clipboard asks us what
the best things are about being British, our traditional food and
drink are more important than the monarchy and at least as
significant as our landscape and national monuments in defining a
collective notion of who we are. Taking nine archetypically British
dishes - Pie and Peas, A Cheese Sandwich, Fish and Chips, Spag Bol,
Devonshire Cream Tea, Curry, The Full English, The Sunday Roast and
a Crumble with Custard - and enjoying them in their most typical
settings, Pete Brown examines just how fundamental food is to our
sense of identity, perhaps even our sense of pride, and the ways in
which we understand our place in the world.
