Hi Kate

Sorry I've only just seen this. There are quite a few of these I've never heard of, but that doesn't mean that they didn't originate in the UK I've made comments within your original post below....

Apple Cheese Sausage Balls #322927
Not heard of this, but it sounds good...I would think this might be good made into Sausage Rolls which are traditional

Mom's Curried Egg Mold #319825
Again, not heard of this, although curried eggs in themselves are traditional...a remnant from the days of the Raj!
Mrs. Burchell's Chicken Chutney Salad #319943
Not sure about this one...chicken and chutney though are both British staples...again chutney is an import from India in Victorian times I think
Open-Faced Egg Salad and Watercress Sandwich #356986
Egg and cress is very traditional, usually as a sandwich, but we wouldn't use toasted bread, it would be white bread, sometimes with the crusts off
Curried Fish and Chip Bake #335864
Fish and chips very traditional as everyone knows. Never heard of doing this to them, but I guess it's a different way of preparing them
Fiery Chicken Balti by Kishor Paw #482171
Chicken Balti Curry from Balti Triangle #482169
Indian curries are now considered to be traditional here, I believe they are one of the most popular take aways
Steak and Mushroom Pie #482057
This is perfect
Bacon and Cabbage #482058

so is this
Pub Patties (Burgers) With Horseradish Sauce and Cress #377753
Again, burgers are now part of our tradional food, so another version is always good. Beef with horseradish is a typical Brit thing
Bread Sauce by Nigella Lawson #482145
Yep, this is traditional, usually as an accompaniment to Roast Turkey
Cranberry-Studded Mincemeat by Nigella Lawson #482136
Again another version of a traditional recipe, very Christmassy!
Spotted Dog Cakelike Raisin Bread #482064
Not heard of this, but I guess it's a version of Spotted Dick, which is a steamed sponge pudding with raisins, that you have hot with custard
Christmas Rocky Road - Nigella Lawson #482140
Don't think Rocky Road is traditional. I think Nigella is just adapting it for a Christmas recipe

Trifle With Fresh Raspberries, Blueberries and Strawberries #363622

absolutely perfect...there must be a million version of Trifle out there, but the basis of this is fine.

Hope that all helps a little but. As I say, I think most of these are versions of traditional dishes, and the UK is such an eclectic mix of people, it's not surprising!

Kate, I'm pretty sure Spotted Dog is a traditional Irish bread.

The apple sausage balls and the curried egg mold do not seem to be recipes originating from the UK/Ireland. Everything else on your list sounds like it fits into the theme nicely though.
