British food lovers around the world miss traditional pie & mash

Expats miss Traditional Pie and Mash!
Many British tourist and expats around the world miss enjoying authentic English food.

From sausages, pastries, puddings and cheese, they reveal what food they most miss about the old country – the English dish, traditional Pie and Mash.

Perhaps one of the most famous dishes from England, specifically certain parts of East London and Essex is Pie and mash. While the practice of eating pie and potatoes is nothing new, the actual dish, pie and mash and liquor, with seasonings of pepper and vinegar is a great British tradition. The staple dish dates back to the 18th century, when street sellers would sell penny pies filled with eels from the Thames, a cheap meal perfect for Victorians.
For those who have grown up with it, pie and mash is the stuff of dreams. A traditional and hearty working class meal hailing from the east end of London, these steak filled pies are coupled with plain and simple mashed potato and a green sauce, known as liquor…it was traditionally made from the water left over from stewing eels, and plenty of parsley. Though the green liquor isn’t made from eels any longer, you can taste traditional pie and mash much the way it tasted 100 years ago.
Here are actual tweets from British people across the world:

‘I’m gonna leave this page the sight of all those pies is killing me here in Spain’

‘I think you will be surprised how many customers here on the Costa Blanca you would have !!!!’

‘Been in oz too long, back July, first stop Arments. Can’t wait’
