A few of the meals I have experienced and ultimately learnt to cook while living here are Bubble and squeak(Fried potato and cabbage), Toad in the hole(Sausages baked in a rich batter), Bangers and mash (Sausages and Mash), numerous delicious desserts and so many more.

The British are also very keen about their tea or coffee, so if you are in an office environment, you would be offered a ‘Cuppa’ lots of times, you would adapt pretty soon, if you are not too keen on tea, like many Africans, you can still try to be part of the tradition by offering to make a round of tea for colleagues, just as a sign of respect for the culture.
