As a result, traditional English dishes have ancient origins, such as bread and cheese, roasted and cooked meats, meat and game pies, and freshwater and saltwater fish. Other common dishes, such as fish and chips—traditionally served in a newspaper wrapper with salt and malt vinegar—and bangers and mash—sausages served with mashed potatoes, onions, and gravy, are now commonly paired with potatoes, tomatoes, and chili peppers from the Americas, spices and curries from India and Bangladesh, and are fried using Chinese and Thai methods. Italian and French cuisines are appreciated and imitated. Great Britain quickly adopted the fast-food innovation from the United States and continues to absorb culinary ideas from all corners of the world.

These trends are particularly evident in dishes such as spaghetti Bolognese, which has been a staple in Britain since the 1960s. More recently, dishes influenced by the Indian subcontinent have grown in popularity, although they have been adapted to suit British tastes. The growing popularity of celebrity chefs on television and radio has fueled a renewed appreciation for fine dining, and the new British cuisine has helped to shake up the image of hearty fish and chips. London’s top restaurants influence the rest of the country. A number of chefs are striving to preserve classic British cuisine, such as Ferdinand Henderson.
