New dishes become popular within “established” cuisines*
Even though British cuisine is classed as “established” it doesn’t mean we can’t continuously look to be innovative or creative with our nation’s classic menu choices. How about including a hoisin duck Bao bun onto your afternoon tea menu for example or using a folded naan to create a delicious breakfast bap?
