Usually accompanied by a cup of tea or coffee, the full English is a breakfast dish including baked beans, sausages, bacon, toast, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, and black pudding. This big and hearty meal is sold all over the country with very few changes made, and is considered a national dish.
The origin of the chicken tikka masala is often disputed, with some attributing it to the South Asian community in Britain, and others claiming it comes from Glasgow. Either way, it is one of the national dishes of England. With comparisons to Indian butter chicken, it is an immensely popular creamy and mild curry.
