The great French beef stew — beef braised slowly in red Burgundy wine with lardons, pearl onions, mushrooms, and herbs until the meat is fall-apart tender and the sauce is deeply reduced and glossy; a dish from the Burgundy region of France that became an international symbol of French cuisine through Julia Child's 1961 recipe, which brought it to American home cooks.
The great British festive dessert — a dense, dark steamed pudding made months in advance with dried fruit, suet, black treacle, spices, and stout or brandy; served flaming with brandy on Christmas Day; traditionally made on Stir-up Sunday (the last Sunday before Advent) and steamed for hours until almost black; often contains hidden silver coins for good luck.
England's great savoury batter pudding — a simple batter of flour, eggs, and milk poured into extremely hot beef dripping in a tin; the violent steam creates a golden, hollow vessel that rises dramatically above its tin.
A German plum cake of dark Italian prune-plums arranged on a yeasted or shortcrust base, baked to a glossy purple, often served with whipped cream in late summer.
