Brit food to serve US in laws

My sister in law and her family will be visiting us at the end of the month and I'm getting together some particularly Brit food and drink items. So far I've got:

Branston pickle
Piccalilli
Marmite
Haggis (yes we have a haggis!)


Plus I am planning on making a trifle during their visit and things like scones with strawberries and cream.  I am having trouble coming up with main courses that are really British. We'll probably take them out for a Sunday roast but what else?? what had you never had before coming to the UK?

How about:

curries
toad-in-the-hole
bread and butter pudding
treacle pudding
cottage and shepherds pie
fish and chips
smoked salmon

Just for a start. 

We always get fish and chips when we have visitors.

Sausage and mash?
Steak & Kidney pie (though I must admit I hate it!)
Spotted Dick?

You could do a fry up one morning

Though I know you're a veggie so most of those might not be too appealling to cook.... 

I've got a recipe for a haggis lasagne, which is very nice made with a veggie haggis... if you're interested. 

I'm maybe thinking too Scottish, but mince & tatties is so nice and simple and satisfying.... and you could make a portion for yourself with quorn mince?

How 'bout a big jug of Pimms and some crackers with Apricot Stilton? Mmmm. After that I wouldn't care what anyone was eating! 

Oh yes Pimms goes without saying, and fish & chips, can't believe I forgot that especially as that gets me out of cooking for another night! Thanks for al the ideas ... Otterpop what does mince & tatties involve?

it's just mince in gravy (with a bit of carrot and onion) served with either mash, or boiled potatoes.  I make my gravy with the Bisto 'roast onion' flavour powder, and i do confess to adding a bit of chilli powder to mine as well, unless my in-laws are visiting.  I suppose it's just the Scots version of cottage pie.

I've got a recipe for a haggis lasagne, which is very nice made with a veggie haggis... if you're interested. 

Wow, haggis lasagne!  I've never heard of that! How is it made?

It's really just the same as any other lasagne except you substitute haggis for mince.
And the recipe i use doesnt have any tomato sauce....

The meat mixture was haggis, sauteed in olive oil with onion & garlic....  just alternate layers of meat mixture topped with parmesan shavings (not the powdery stuff), bechamel sauce, and lasagne pasta. 

Got the recipe out of the Scotland on Sunday magazine. 

Yorkshire puddings (with Sunday roast, of course)
Sticky toffee pudding
Every dessert drowned in hot custard
Brown sauce
(You must not serve ice with drinks. )

a proper English pint.  As you live in Kent, maybe a trip to Shepards Neame Brewery to see real ale being made.     Oh, and a chicken tikka masala.

Thanks for all the ideas! Oh yes they will definitely be getting a pint or two or more at some of the lovely pubs around here.   We do want to take them out for an Indian meal but need to find a really good restaurant around here as we haven't tried any of them out as yet.   Or maybe I'll just make a curry at home one night with the help of my good friends Pataks. 

How about a proper British fry-up for brekkie one morning?  I like to do ours Scottish style, with grilled tomatoes and mushrooms - more for the vegetarians at the table!

Mmmm, nothing like a good fry up.

And scones and creme for an afternoon tea w/all sorts of lovely sarnies.  Delicious!

Yes, a proper ladies' tea with cucumber sandwiches and salmon sandwiches and Pimms!
