Then you'd like Lancashire hotpot.
Here's what wiki has to say...Lancashire hotpot is a culinary dish consisting essentially of meat, onion and potatoes left to bake in the oven all day in a heavy pot and on a low heat. Originating in the days of heavy industrialisation in Lancashire in the north west of England, it requires a minimum of effort to prepare.

The basic recipe consists of a mix made up of meat, vegetables (carrot, turnip, potatoes, onion or leek) then covered with sliced potato or pastry. The type of meat to be used in a true Lancashire hotpot is a matter of some controversy, with many being of the opinion that it should be lamb (with optional lamb kidneys) and some thinking it should be beef. As much food can be added as will fit in the pot.

L*******l has a version known as 'Scouse' (hence the name for natives of that city) the difference being, the Lamb, or Beef is substituted for assorted vermin.

holy shit!
and i thought english cuisine was limited to fish and chips!

there is a place downtown
called Russian Tea Time, over by the lakefront
where they have a dish called a Russian Peasant's Lunch
which is straight onions, sausage, and saeurkraut (sp?).

Once you've had one of these, you won't look back.

That is the dog's undercrackers and no mistake!

I do prefer a good chicken roast though, with bread sauce.

Although lamb is also good, with mint sauce.

Aggh, the meats and their condiments. It's all too much.

Goddamn I'm hungry, this is what I really could go for:

The sort of foods that do nothing for me, may as well drink cooking oil.

I made this a few nights ago, and it's delicious!

-- Preheat the oven to broil
-- Soak 1 dried ancho chile while you prepare the rest
-- Slice roughly 7 tomatoes and place them in a large cast iron skillet. Then slice 5 cloves of garlic and 1 red bell pepper, then add those slices to the skillet, as well
-- Add a small amount of cilantro
-- Slice up 2 scallions (green onions) and add to the skillet, and then some small pieces of mango or pineapple.
-- Squeeze juice of 1 lime and add to the skillet

Broil on high until tomatoes start to turn dark. I don't know exactly how long it will take, so you'll have to watch it! Then remove from the oven and cool. Once this is cool, add about a tablespoon of vinegar, a pinch of salt, and then blend in a blender until smooth.

You can now eat with chips, or you can use this as a basis of all kinds of recipes, where you can now marinate tofu, beans, tempeh, tvp, or whatever you'd like! This is flexible and you can try all kinds of different things. Roasted vegetables are really good, too :)

Carob Mint Tofu Pudding
 

Attention fellow vegans, I’ve got another to-die-for recipe. For snacking or for dessert, it’s delicious either way. Tastes excellent with fudge frosting, too.

1 lb soft (or firm) tofu
1 C maple syrup or fruit concentrate
1/2 C carob powder
2 Tbsp arrowroot powder (or corn starch)
3 tsp vanilla extract
8 drops peppermint extract
dash sea salt

Combine all ingredients in a food processor or homogenizing juicer. Let chill (15 minutes in freezer or 1 hour in refrigerator). The mint makes the carob taste more like chocolate!
