Re: What Brit Food can I Take to an International Lunch?
its just doesn't want to get hot enough.. Thats the key right JG?
The points I remember are....leave the batter to stand for 30 mins. Put the baking tin/s well greased...in the oven until they are blue (smoking)...quickly pour in the batter and put the tray in the oven. Do not open the oven until the Yorkies are done.

You could well be right there! I don't think I've ever had a decent oven - one thing I have found to help though is to get an oven thermometer. Every oven I've ever had was actually a lot lower temp than the dial said. My yorkies come up fine... 
Might be worth a try?

If you can't get the oven hot enough for the initial smoking pan then put the pan on the hob to heat up first...I've done this before and then put the yorkies in the oven...worked fine! Best recipe I've used is a simple equal amounts of egg, flour and milk (use a "cup" ) no need to leave it to stand if you don't have the time. I think I got the recipe many moons ago from Anthony Worral Thompson on ready, steady, cook. Yorkies are fab!! Bring on the gravy

You're asking Moderator Girl about cooking
She doesn't even know where her kitchen is, her OH has to draw her a map.

While it is freely available in the UK, what makes a curry typically british? It's Indian.
Now typical dishes [apart from what has been mentioned] would be
Bangers and Mash with some mushy peas thrown in,
Black pudding
cucumber sarnies
to name just a few of the top of my head

I'd love to get a good veggie curry recipe, though, being a vegetarian also!

Another big hit at parties I have taken "Brit food" too, has always been "welsh rarebit", real easy to do and you can warm it up under a broiler when you get there, or just have it cold (yummy)I usually toast bagels, then spread the rarebit (grated cheese ketchup and chopped onion) on top of the bagel, finish it off under broiler, until it's all bubbly and crispy! It's great fun listening to "yanks" trying to say welsh rarebit, they always say rabbit! and then they get real wierd about trying it cause they think it has fluffy bunnies in it! lol
try it at home for supper one night, it's really good:-)

For Yorkshire puds - If the oven is a bit dicy spead them out a bit and use those little pyrex cups with plenty of grease.
My vote though goes to pork pies with Branston pickle (need a receipe?) and black pudding.
Faggots are a bit adventuresome and the ingredients might not pass muster!

Re: What Brit Food can I Take to an International Lunch?
I would take an Egg and Bacon Pie. It's not really a Quiche so not classed as French
I make mine with a potato pie crust instead of using pastry. I just boil the spuds mash them and then put them in a pyrex pie dish, pushing the mashed potato into the shape of the dish and then lightly coat the potato with Olive Oil, bake it for a while until it is slightly crusty. I then make a quiche type mixture of eggs and add cheese mushrooms and Canadian Bacon, tip it over the potatos and then put back in the oven and bake. Serve with a salad and it is yummy!

Ooohh I like - especially the fact that I wouldn't have to make pastry
