Message: <blockquote data-quote="Energize" data-source="post: 1334162" data-attributes="member: 28960">Hi [USER=344862]@WithoutSugar[/USER] Having sauces with certain meat dishes is traditional and cultural in Britain.  Historically, there will be a good reason for this and this link - <a href="http://www.theoldfoodie.com/2009/10/why-apple-with-pork.html" target="_blank">http://www.theoldfoodie.com/2009/10/why-apple-with-pork.html</a> explains why we eat apple sauce, traditionally, with pork.  Other traditional meals with a particular sauce are Lamb with Mint Sauce, Beef with Horseradish sauce, Turkey with Cranberry sauce, Chicken with Bread sauce, to mention the most common meats.Culture develops because of a reason, although the reason may not still be particularly valid.  So, if you're not a native of Britain, it's quite possible you wouldn't understand the reasons why, unless you do some research.Mediterranean dishes will also, no doubt, be stemmed in local culture, for whatever reason.  I agree that carbs are a large part of the British diet, in general.  As you've noticed, chips, crisps, sweets are very popular and are a relatively cheap food, hence the popularity perhaps.</blockquote>
