雖然名字叫約克郡布丁，而且感覺上像是是用麪粉、牛奶、雞蛋做出來的煎餅，但它其實不是一道甜點。這道菜通常都和烤牛肉、調味肉汁一起，作爲一道傳統的週日午餐。

肉餡土豆餡餅是一道傳統英國菜餚，也叫農家餡餅。主要材料是肉丁和土豆泥。通常會使用週日烤肉剩下的羊牛肉。當肉是羊肉時，通常叫做“sheperd’s pie”（小編注：sheperd是牧羊人的意思）
4.鱔魚凍
Jellied eels are eels cooked for approximately half an hour and allowed to cool. The juices then solidify forming the jelly. The dish is an East End of London delicacy, often sold with pie and mash. They are no longer commonly eaten in London, but can still be found, especially around the East End.
鱔魚凍是煮了大概半個小時的鱔魚，攤涼，湯就會凝固起來變成凍。這道菜是東倫敦的地道小吃，通常和餡餅、土豆泥一起出手。現在的倫敦人不太經常吃它，但還是能找到的，尤其是東倫敦。
5.水果鬆糕
Trifle is a dish made from thick custard, fruit, sponge cake, fruit juice, and whipped cream.

Some trifles contain a small amount of alcohol such as port or, most commonly, sweet sherry.
水果鬆糕是由蛋奶沙司、水果、海綿蛋糕、果汁和攪打過的奶油特製而成。水果和海綿蛋糕放在下層，蛋奶沙司和奶油放在上層。有些水果鬆糕含有一點點究竟，比如波提葡萄酒，最常見的是加一點甜雪利酒。
6.馬麥醬
Marmite is made from yeast extract, a by-product of beer brewing, and is a sticky, dark brown paste with a distinctive, powerful flavour. The taste of Marmite is comparable in some ways to soy sauce. This distinctive taste is reflected in the British company's marketing slogan: "Love it or hate it."
馬麥醬是用酵母提取物製成。酵母提取物是啤酒發酵的副產品，性狀粘稠，顏色較深，味道濃郁易辨認。馬麥醬的味道和醬油有點相似。賣馬麥醬的公司營銷口號就是：“馬麥醬，讓你愛恨分明。”

9.布丁香腸
Toad in the hole is a traditional British dish comprising sausages in Yorkshire pudding batter, usually served with vegetables and gravy. The origin of the name 'Toad-in-the-Hole' is vague. Most suggestions are that the dish's resemblance to a toad sticking its little head out of a hole provide the dish with its somewhat unusual name.
布丁香腸是一道傳統英國食物。主要材料有香腸和做約克郡布丁的麪糊，通常和蔬菜、肉汁一起食用。這個名字的來源並不清楚，流傳最廣的說法是這道菜像是一隻蟾蜍稍微從洞中探頭出來，於是纔有了這個如此特別的名字。（小編注：這道菜名直譯爲洞中蟾）

Bangers and mash is a British colloquial name for sausage (bangers) served with mashed potatoes. The dish is usually served with a rich onion gravy.
