Pasta

I dunno.
Check it's passport. :exit:
 
It was certainly part of 16th century Tudor cuisine. Maybe it dates back to Richard the Lionheart's returning Crusaders? Unless you meant Christian pastors in which case 8th century - but they only had loaves and fishes!
 
Dunno but I wish it hadn't. Along with French food it's the most over rated loada crap ever imo!!!
 
Bloody foreign foods coming here and replacing our Great British Fayre. I was only reading in the Daily Mail the other day that the EU is going to force us all to learn Italian so we can pronounce the different varieties of pasta properly.
 
ok on those lines what are your favorite british foods?

PMSL again,
But no, that's the devils food.
Roast beef (Killed properly, obviously :D )
Just cooked through, Roast spuds, Roast parsnips, Yorkshire puds,
And a myriad of traditional veg too :)

Oh and served with thick gravy, and lashings of Horseradish sauce.
Mmmmmmmmmmm :)

Food of the gods..............................and I've only had two heart attacks!!!!:D
 
Like rabbits and the pox, pasta was brought here by the Romans. How else could they use their passata based sauces?

Spuds? New-fangled American imports.

What "traditional" veg are there?
- peas - imported from Med / Middle East
- beans - imported from Middle East
- broccoli - imported from Italy
- courgettes - imported from America
- turnips - imported from India
- onions - imported from Central Asia

You might be OK if you stick to cabbage, and maybe carrots. But I wouldn't want to bet on it.
 
probably'a in the distant'a past'a

I'm pretty sure that "spud"
was one of the King Edward's nicknames.

Ok so I meant traditionally "served with"

I didn't bother checking origins / family tree's or parentage.
Maybe "Home grown" may have been an even better word.
in that case.
