Which one takes your fancy?<br> </p><h2>Roast beef with a mustard and stilton crust</h2><p>We Brits just love a tender beef roasting joint &ndash; pink in the middle, and beautifully seasoned. This <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/roast-beef-mustard-stilton-crust" target="_blank">roast beef recipe</a> is flavoured with another English favourite, Stilton, as well as coarse wholegrain mustard.</p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><img alt="easter-beef-herb-crust__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/easter-beef-herb-crust_GL?scl=1"></h2><h2>Beef wellington with roasted tenderstem broccoli</h2><p>Crispy pastry, flavoursome mushrooms and <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/beef-wellington" target="_blank">succulent beef</a> is a match made in heaven. Chuck in some roasted tenderstem broccoli with garlic and chilli on the side and you're onto a winner.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="beef_wellington__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/beef_wellington__square_GL?scl=1"></p><h2>toad in the hole</h2><p>It's thought that <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/toad-in-the-hole" target="_blank">toad in the hole</a> was originally invented as a way of making meat go further in poor households &ndash; sausages, rump steak, and even pigeon, could be used in place of sausages. These days, it's a popular supper in households across the country. And why wouldn't it be? Crispy batter is the perfect accompaniment to sausages, veg and gravy. Yum.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="toad-in-the-hole__square__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/toad-in-the-hole__square__square_GL?scl=1"></p><h2>fish and chips</h2><p>Is there anything better than a pile of hot, battered fresh fish and salted, vinegary chunky chips? Fish and chip shops date back to the 1800s, and <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/fish-and-chips-recipe" target="_blank">this irresistible combo</a> has been a staple on many a British menu ever since. Don't forget the mushy peas!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="ultimate-fish-and-chips__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/ultimate-fish-and-chips__square_GL?scl=1"></p><h2>Chicken tikka masala with quick pickles</h2><p>There's a reason why Britain's take on the curry is one of our country's favourite takeaways of all time. <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/chicken-tikka-masala-recipe" target="_blank">Our creamy tikka masala</a> with marinated chicken breast is truly fit for a saint.

From sprouts to cabbage, carrots, parsnips or spinach, more or less anything goes! Simply serve with a poached egg for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Perfection. </p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><img alt="bubble_and_sqeak__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/bubble_and_sqeak__square_GL?scl=1"></h2><h2>Fish and mushy pea pie </h2><p>This <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/fish-and-mushy-pea-pie">creamy homemade fish pie</a> has a twist: a luscious layer of the chip-shop classic mushy peas.
