    1: In British cuisine, the bloater is, like the kipper, a type of smoked herring, but is differentiated from the kipper by the fact that fish is smoked whole, with its innards intact

    2:Fidget pie contains potatoes, onions, apples, bacon and cider

    3:Bergamot is an ingredient in Earl Grey tea

    4:Stilton was the first British Cheese to be granted PDO status

    5: Any ideas?
