I remember steak & kidney pie, Irish stew with dumplings (gran's specialty), lardy cakes, black pudding (the English kind, different from the French) and Stilton too.

Stilton cheese for example can mix it with the best in the world. And stotty cakes in the north east; haggis north of the border- all fab!
