Appetizer - English Beef Soup
A good start is half the success. A good appetizer can't be missed for a good meal.
Main Course - Bubble and Squeak
This classic dish originally contained beef along with the left-over cooked potatoes and cabbage, though today people don't generally bother with the meat.
Dessert - Spotted Dick (or Dog)
The name of this pudding always raises a laugh in Britain but gets horrified gasps from our American friends, who blush at something that to them is shockingly explicit.
Dessert - Earl Grey Cake
This cake has a refreshing taste, thanks to the tea and orange peel and is best eaten with tea, coffee or hot chocolate.
Special Offer - Roast Turkey with Chestnuts
Following the traditional appetizer, great main dish and interesting sweets, now coming the special offer for Christmas - Delicious roast turkey with chestnuts.
Scottish Recipes
Haggis is possibly the best known Scottish delicacy, and it is wonderful, it has a rich flavour, however some people tasting it for the first time, are often put off when they know what it is made of. Haggis is made from sheep's offal (or pluck).
