1. Let's begin our culinary tour of Britain with a full English breakfast, a huge meal which will really set you up for the day. We'll start with a helping of porridge. In which country of the UK did this dish originate?

3. Breakfast is over, but travel sharpens the appetite, and by eleven, we're ready for what Winnie the Pooh calls "a little something".

4. Lunch beckons next, and we move away from the north of England where the meal at midday is still usually called dinner. A Ploughman's Lunch at a country pub sounds ideal.
