Culture and tradition of british people

These were conventionally served wrapped in the old newspaper until a more hygienic paper counterpart replaced the wrap. A lot of restaurants offer fish and chips as Friday specials in regards to the traditional no-meat fast of Roman Catholics on Fridays.

Roast dinner. Roast dinner (or classically known as Sunday roast) has become one of the staple British food.

It consists of roast meat, vegetables and a variety of accompaniments such as Yorkshire pudding and English mustard. The term Sunday roast came from the said origin of this dish, wherein it is believed to be the traditional meal of British families after attending church on Sundays. The day starts by popping the meat in the oven, adding the veggies and then coming to attend mass.

Doing so, they come home to the smell of a perfectly-roasted feast waiting to be devoured.

14. Excess Politeness 

It is quintessentially British to scatter excessive pardon me’s and thank you’s to one’s speech, they say. It may be seen in two opposing views: that of utter politeness or of complete nonsense.

Whichever of these two are true, there is no denying that this mannerism has made its way to the daily lives of the British people.

15. Sarcasm

The British people are said to use sarcasm on a daily basis. As they find humour in almost everything, they tend to use sarcastic remarks to make fun of the situation.

Often, hyperboles are the way to go. If someone is hearing such a brand of comedy for the first time, it might be a bit difficult to keep up. I wrote some popular British expressions that are worth knowing if you want to keep in the loop in British twangs.

Extra, extra:
Apart from sarcasm, the Brits also use self-deprecation, irony and understatements to joke around.

16. The Curry 

Britain’s love for curry is truly remarkable. It has been highly popularized by Queen Victoria herself.

As the Queen was fascinated by the Indian culture, it is only natural for her famous Indian servant, Abdul Karim, to introduce good curry to her. A lot of authentic Indian restaurants have sprung up since then. I wrote an article about the interesting Asian influence on British food, you will see how deep is the connection between the two cultures and their gastronomic flavours.
