Stopping by at the Big Ben

England, a part of the United Kingdom, is an island off the west coast of the European mainland. According to Think Quest, England is made up of a highland region and a lowland region. The lowland region is where the majority of the population lives. England's largest city, London, is the capitol of the United Kingdom.
There are several who would say that British cuisine is quite bland, consisting of the so-called "meat and veggies" dish, but some of the traditional British food is quite interesting. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

The Sunday Roast
The best example of a traditional British dish, according to Wikipedia, is the Sunday Roast. It is referred to specifically as a "Sunday" roast because the dish is meant ot be left in the oven for hours while families go to church and then eaten as a lunch or early dinner. Traditional roasts are beef, pork, lamb or chicken, with certain accompanying sides (For a list of sides, visit wikipedia)).

Breakfast in Britain
To touch briefly on another British specialty, we'll have to visit Breakfast! This is because scones are such a popular breakfast dish in Britain. Scones look like an everyday biscuit in the US, but frequently contains raisins, currants or dates. Along with breakfast, this treat is also eaten at teatime.
