English cuisine: Difference between revisions

Line 5:

'''English cuisine''' encompasses the cooking styles, traditions and recipes associated with [[England]]. It has distinctive attributes of its own, but is also very similar to wider [[British cuisine]], partly historically and partly due to the import of ingredients and ideas from the [[Americas]], China, and India during the time of the [[British Empire]] and as a result of [[World War II|post-war]] [[Immigration to the United Kingdom since 1922|immigration]].

Some traditional meals, such as [[bread]] and cheese, roasted and stewed meats, [[meat pie|meat]] and [[game pie]]s, boiled vegetables and broths, and [[freshwater fish|freshwater]] and [[saltwater fish]] have ancient origins. The 14th-century English cookbook, the ''[[Forme of Cury]]'',~~{{efn|Cury here means cooking, related to French ''cuire'', to cook.}}~~ contains recipes for these, and dates from the royal court of [[Richard II of England|Richard II]].

English cooking has been influenced by foreign ingredients and cooking styles since the [[Middle Ages]]. [[Curry]] was introduced from the [[Indian subcontinent]] and adapted to English tastes from the eighteenth century with [[Hannah Glasse]]'s recipe for chicken "currey". [[French cuisine]] influenced English recipes throughout the [[Victorian era]]. After the rationing of the [[Second World War]], [[Elizabeth David]]'s 1950 ''[[A Book of Mediterranean Food]]'' had wide influence, bringing [[Italian cuisine]] to English homes. Her success encouraged other cookery writers to describe other styles, including [[Chinese cuisine|Chinese]] and [[Thai cuisine|Thai]] cuisine. England continues to absorb culinary ideas from all over the world.
