Flavours of England: Vegetarian

When it comes to strange names for culinary dishes, the English can boast a few. Pan Haggerty is a traditional Northumbrian dish of potatoes and onions flavoured with cheese. But perhaps it's Bubble & Squeak that takes your fancy? A traditional breakfast dish, it gets its name from the cabbage which makes bubbling and squeaking sounds during cooking. On the more conventional front, just find a good-quality English greengrocer to create delicious and unusual vegetarian dishes, the best of which may be the leek and cheese sausage. With a harvest of fresh beans, peas, carrots and courgettes you have all the ingredients to make a rich terrine of vegetables that looks great too. It could be that an asparagus and pecorino risotto or a roast squash salad with feta cheese and toasted seeds is most tempting, but then again some of the most popular pub foods in England at the moment are a good vegetarian curry or mac 'n' cheese.
