British cuisine was shaped by the Empire, introducing curries and international ingredients into the national diet. The a full English café breakfast is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Roast Beef with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
