When you think of old-fashioned English cooking, it probably conjures up images of roast beef or steak and kidney pie.

Almost as old are smoky stew, which was made of bacon and smoked fish, and meat pudding, a forerunner of haggis and sausages.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=481709&in_page_id=1770"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.dailymail.co.uk/img/C25C298C-91B6-4F63-A9D4-80ADF81B0E34" alt="Nettle soup" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=481709&in_page_id=1770">
Roast hedgehog was also a firm favourite some 8,000 years ago, the UKTV series The People's Cookbook will reveal.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=481709&in_page_id=1770">
Served with a wild duck or cinnamon sauce, hedgehog was the provenance of the rich, with its thorny nature meaning it would have been avoided by all but the most adventurous cooks.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=481709&in_page_id=1770"><P>
