Recipe suggestions please.
I am part of a team of British ladies helping a group of 15 and 16 year olds gain confidence in speaking English whilst teaching them British recipes. We have a brainstorming session booked online for next Tuesday and we have to suggest British recipes that meet their chosen theme - as yet unknown. In May - all being well, we'll cook and then eat them together with their teaching staff.
2 years ago it was British recipes using local Vendée produce. The chef still talks about bread and butter pudding made with brioche. Last year it was to be recipes for sharing round a family table but it was cancelled thanks to Covid.
I've been collecting British recipes since and trying to cover all 4 nations so anything from Cock-a-Leekie to Cornish pasties with Lancashire hotpot, Yorkshire puddings, Toad in the Hole in between. Unlike the Brits, France - round here anyway - has not adopted cuisine and ingredients from around the world as part of its everyday fare so I'll be hard pushed to get in Asian or Caribbean or other such dishes.
What would you consider to be your favourite traditional British recipe and would you be so kind as to share?

The nearest Indian restaurants is an hour away at La Rochelle @Fire and it's dreadful. This lot barely do tagine, despite their former colonies being so close, let alone curry!
