¿Has pedido alguna vez un “bubble and squeak” en un restaurante británico? ¿O prefieres probar unas deliciosas “bangers and mash” en el pub más cercano?
Si no sabes de qué te estamos hablando, sigue leyendo para descubrir algunos de los platos británicos más típicos… ¡y con los nombres más curiosos! ¿Sabes adivinar qué dos platos son muy parecidos a nuestro trinchado ya nuestra butifarra negra?
BUBBLE AND SQUEAK
Is leftover vegetables (typically from a roast) mixed with mashed potatoes. A cute name for sure, this is a dinner dish made of potatoes and cabbage and sometimes other vegetables, usually left over from a Sunday roast. The name refers to sound that the cabbage in this mashup makes when it’s fried in oil.
RAREBIT
It is essentially just melted cheese on toast. The name of the dish derives from “Wesh rabbit”. Curiously, the dish does not contain any rabbit at all!: it is thought to be a term used humorously to refer to the Welsh, who were seen as poor and unable to afford meat, thus using cheese as a substitute.BANGERS AND MASH
Sausage served over mashed potatoes. “Bangers” are sausages, and mash, simply mashed potatoes. The name “banger” reportedly derives from the sound of cooking sausages with excess water, which causes the casings to explode with a “bang.” Other interpretations are possible…
ETON MESS
Named for the college in which this is traditionally served, this is simply berries and cream, a little dressed up. It’s a summer pudding of berries, crumbled meringue and whipped cream.BLACK PUDDING
Were you thinking dessert? Wrong…! This intriguing name refers to the English version of blood sausage, and is eaten at breakfast.
