Venice, the original mince meat, did have meat in it. My grandmother used to make it. It was good. I love mince meat, with or without meat.

Vindaloo and Masala are two different sauces. Both wonderful!

Bombay Sapphire or Beefeaters? Both are really good, but Beefeaters is the best.........IMO!!

1. Roast potato's. - Love 'em

2. Liver and onions. - tolerate

3. Yorkshire pudding. - don't know

4. Devilled kidneys. - don't know

5. Steak and kidney pie. - don't know

6. Fish and chips. - the best! Not done very well on the east coast of USA (on this side of the pond) but I grew up on it in the Pacific Northwest where it's done very well.

7. Breast of pigeon. - don't know

8. Vindaloo. - Not sure of this name but I'm a big fan of Indian cuisine, especially Punjab.

9. Roast lamb. - not sure. Sounds good.

10. Stilton blue cheese. - Love it.

We have an English pub nearby in Poughkeepsie where we can sample these types of dishes. But it's obvious that the menu has been "Americanized".

And finally, Beefeaters, by a wide margin!

A local fish and chips place offers "authenitic British style mushy peas".

Should I try them? I'm nervous about this decision!!

8. Vindaloo.

Bingo! But then I'd argue that this cannot be considered 'British', although I've had some excellent 'vindaloo' over there. Actually this dish has a Portuguese origin, since Goa was a Portuguese colony. There exists a British 'curry' though:

Chicken Tikka Massala is now a true British national dish, not only because it is the most popular, but because it is a perfect illustration of the way Britain absorbs and adapts external influences. Chicken Tikka is an Indian dish. The Massala sauce was added to satisfy the desire of British people to have their meat served in gravy.

Sleepy: I'd argue that a curry is something different than a tandoori dish.
