    British food - what should I try in one day?

    Visiting Uk for one day. Would like to taste some traditional food

    So far I tried fish and chips (not lived up to the hype, basically just dry fish + potatoes) and English breakfast (impressed because it is pretty unique breakfast compared to European or worldwide countries).

    What should be next? I hear some thing called PIE?
    Something else?

    Cheers

          Wow, Eels are actually delicacy (as said in the video about Netherlands) and expensive in many European countries.

                  Whatever you decide to eat, make sure you brush your teeth after you're done. It's something many a UK citizen appear to forget.

                              Steak does not sound exclusively British, I can eat it anywhere.
                              Kidney pie on the other hand - looking into it

                              EDIT: just realized it was one dish!
                              Will try it !

                              "Pie" in my mind is/was a desert and sweat thing, like apple pie or whatever. But in UK they have a different meaning for it

                                  I see what you did there

                                  I am sticking with foods that you can not eat anywhere in the world, though

                                      I hate English food, and I grew up there. One thing I still occasionally buy is cod roe--fish eggs--and you can get roe in most fish and chips shops. Steak and kidney pie isn't too bad either. English candy is good--the chocolate is made in a different process to Hershey's and actually tastes better.

                                          The reason you can't get English food anywhere else in the world is because everyone else knows better.

                                              Where do locals eat it? Are there "pie restaurants" or is it more like a pub food?

                                              I just did quick research - that pie looks huge for one person, could I eat it alone? Or do they serve in smaller portions as well?

                                                  Mutton, Rabbit. I had nice venison steak one night.

                                                  I ordered a salad and it looked like a bunch of weeds -- I cannot recommend it.

                                                                                      Will try it !

                                                                                      "Pie" in my mind is/was a desert and sweat thing, like apple pie or whatever. But in UK they have a different meaning for it
                                                                                      Yes it is one dish and there are a lot of places that sever it. Very good and very British

                                                                                          you can get it in pubs and in take out places. Some of the take outs its a hand held pie like a calzone just with different insides

                                                                                                                      However they do not serve steak and kidney pie, just "pie, mash and liquor".

                                                                                                                      Is it because setak and kidney pie is too posh for regular pie and mash joints?

Definitely better than what we get in the states ... and have you ever seen an English or Irish restaurant? There is a reason.

                                                                                                                                          Hell, we have Ethiopian restaurants here while they starve in Ethiopia.

You better go to France, Spain, Italy, Russia/Ukraine/Belorussia or to some Scandinavian European country. You'll find a lot of good food there (not even mention the South America and Asia where is a real heaven for those who want to eat something real unusual and delicious). The UK is not the right place for a gastronomic traveler. Their food is tasteless and boring like an oatmeal

The truth is most people can't make it properly so it comes out like shit. Just like I'm sure that this doesn't represent all Russian food
