I got to love Cornish pastys when I was in London. Not all English cooking is this good, but it's not as universally bad as some would have you believe.
Hear hear! Have you ever had spotted dick? Now don't laugh, it's fantastic stuff! I used to buy it at a local shop that sold nothing but all things UK. It was a kind of steamed pudding with raisins in it. I'd eat it with PG Tips.
I'd get up and go get some right but alas, the shop is no longer open. I don't know if they closed completely or just moved.
I should find out.
