Full English Breakfast You can’t beat a proper fry-up! We start the day the British way — with bacon, sausage, eggs, beans, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, toast, and of course… black pudding. This is the ultimate hangover cure and Sunday tradition all rolled into one. ________________________________________ 9:30 - 13:58 🥐 2. Greggs Bakery Favourites Greggs is a British institution, and it was impossible to choose just one item, so we tried a few of our faves: • Sausage Roll – golden, flaky pastry with that perfectly seasoned sausage center. • Steak Bake – hearty, savoury, and warming. • Mince Pie – festive, sweet, and an essential part of any British Christmas. We also chat about what makes Greggs such a beloved part of everyday UK life ________________________________________ 13:59 - 18:39 🍟 3. Chip Barm If you know, you know. It’s carbs on carbs — thick-cut British chips packed into a buttered bread roll, often with salt, vinegar, and a bit of brown sauce. Northern, iconic, and deeply satisfying. ________________________________________ 18:40 - 20:34 🥧 4. Pork Pie Ah, the humble pork pie — a picnic essential and a cold meat marvel. We talk about its rich history in British food culture and that one-of-a-kind jelly layer that’s either a love-it-or-hate-it situation! ________________________________________ 20:35 - 21:59 🍰 5. Victoria Sponge Cake A classic British bake named after Queen Victoria herself — two soft sponge layers sandwiched with jam and cream. It’s the kind of treat you’d find at a garden party or afternoon tea, and honestly, nothing compares. ________________________________________ 22:00 - 24:50🍛 BONUS: Chicken Tikka Masala We couldn’t leave the UK without mentioning the real national dish. Chicken Tikka Masala — a creamy, tomato-based curry that’s the perfect fusion of British and South Asian cuisine. We visit Wilmslow Road (The Curry Mile) in Manchester, home to some of the best curry houses in the country.
