Bangers and mash, fish and chips ....

Ok, so we all know that filipino food consists of rice and unknown fish, vegetables and fruits.... oh and more rice!

BUT ... what do filipinas in Britain think of typical British food? I pondered this recently when talking fish with my gf (another intimate conversation!!). I wondered what she would think of kippers, which I love.

And do filipinas trot out to the chippy for traditional fish and chips of an evening? And guys, does your filipina wife manage to cook the sort of traditional foods of this country?

So, any filipinas in Britain, or who have visited; what is your reaction to typical British dishes, your likes and dislikes? At least my gf will be forewarned, should she visit some time in the future.

Well............

My wife boils the sausages before frying them..... But they taste better that way, I do admit, not loaded with fat.

The fish and chips is a no-no, the batter is always too greasy and like cardboard.

The kippers...... too many bones. Even for me....

She likes smoked salmon, sunday roast, 'tatoes and gravy....

We have adopted a kind I cook you wash the pots policy....

We love variety, so the fridge-freezer is always stocked up with all sorts, but NO pre-prepared foods.
The microwave is only used to warm things up or quick defrost, and not to cook.
The leche flan is our weekly treat....

I love it...

[simplelife]

I love cooking so we can only have Fish and Chips if we were out or if theres no really time to cook our meals, but most of the time I cook a well-balanced meal for our dinner.
As for British traditional foods, I love Roasted Beef and Yorkshire Pudding. I love Sheperds Pie or Cottage Pie, I love cornish pastries, I love Roast Turkey.
My Fiance loves Black Pudding but I do not like it.
He loves Filipino dishes so I did not have any problem, but to be fair I cook Filipino foods twice a week and English foods twice a week also then the rest of the weeks I cook other especialties such as Italian, Chinese, Thai, and even Japanese foods.
If we have time, we discuss what we having for the whole week so then I can make a list for our weekly food shopping. We do out shopping together. We avoid instant food like those microwavable and canned food.

Ohhhh I know now.... its Haggis --- tried it and it's nice hehehe

Well, interesting responses, thank you. And as for balut .... I was unaware of it before, but forewarned is forearmed I think.

I assumed Filipinas here would like sweet food, as my gf has a sweet tooth. But guys here seem to do pretty well for traditional British meals, nice to know the two diets can co-exist.

If only we paid filipino prices in the UK, it must be a shock for filipinas shopping here for the first time to see their money disappear so quickly
