Due to the economic problems following the war, rationing continued for some years, and in some aspects was more strict than during wartime. The problem was worse in WWII, and the Ministry of Food was established to address the problems (see Rationing in the United Kingdom). It has been claimed, contrary to popular belief, that people in southern England eat more garlic per head than the people of northern France.ĭuring the World Wars of the 20th century difficulties of food supply were countered by official measures, which included rationing. Food rationing policies, put in place by the British government during wartime periods of the 20th century, are said to have been the stimulus for British cuisine’s poor international reputation. The British Empire facilitated a knowledge of India’s elaborate food tradition of “strong, penetrating spices and herbs”. The Norman conquest introduced exotic spices into England in the Middle Ages. Anglo-Saxon England developed meat and savoury herb stewing techniques before the practice became common in Europe. “However, British cuisine has absorbed the cultural influence of those who have settled in Britain, producing many hybrid dishes, such as the Anglo-Indian chicken tikka masala (Tikka masala is NOT “British Cuisine, it’s East Indian).įish and chips, a popular take-away food of the United KingdomĬeltic agriculture and animal breeding produced a wide variety of foodstuffs for indigenous Celts and Britons. British cuisine has been described as “unfussy dishes made with quality local ingredients, matched with simple sauces to accentuate flavour, rather than disguise it. I find it curious that in a passive-aggressive stance, you ignited some pretty inflammatory “issues” and suggest that you suck on these facts:īritish cuisine is the specific set of cooking traditions and practices associated with the United Kingdom.
This was you can make sure the sauce is to your liking before you incorporate, which is what I plan on doing next Pete: Major way to piss people off, posting offensive “Anti-American” sentiment and being a Brit who “technically is a visitor in OUR country” (ya BITCH!)
It’s obvious by all the positive reviews that it’s a favorite for most people, so if your reading my review my suggestion would be to definitely try it! I would suggest to just mix all the sauce ingredients with the ginger separately and taste. It was SO easy and I would definitely make it again if I could figure it out. I wish I knew what I needed to add/omit/tweak to get it right for us. My son, who literally eats everything and loves PF Chang’s lettuce wraps, told me very politely that he didn’t care for it and asked for something else.
I added a bit more vinegar, soy sauce, and some brown sugar (I remember using this in a very time consuming lettuce wraps recipe years ago), but all I could really taste was the Hosin sauce, which is a bitter taste by itself. There was just something missing that I couldn’t put my finger on which makes it really hard to tweak.
