The one time I visited England, could not make it up to Scotland, had a great lunch in a English Pub in central England. Ordered the Scottish Salmon Salad, I think it was called. Very nice and the English ale went with it very well. The worse thing I had was a boxed lunch. There was a meat paste sandwich that was very interesting. Worse then spam. Saw a food vendor in London one night outside a pub that was selling sausage on the street. Had no idea what kinda meat it was and did not sample it. The low end scale food in the region is pretty bad, but if you can afford the good stuff, it is very good. The Kings and Queens eat very well. There is a famous food dish that comes from a home my surname ancestors held in Scotland for a long time. Apparently it was also a favorite of the Queen. She spent some time as a child in the area. Might try making it someday, but I am a terrible cook.

As do most of us these days, I'm happy to assure you. If I had a bit more time, I might give you a sample week's menus for my home cooking here in south-west England. You might be surprised.
