1 Fish 'n' Chips
Elephant & Castle Pub, 1800 Market St., 215-751-9977
It's not the healthiest thing you can push down your craw, but E&C's beer-battered, deep-fried cod is a masterpiece of English craftsmanship. For authenticity, give the side of freedom fries a generous splash of vinegar and a tumble with the salt shaker. Tubs of coleslaw and tartar sauce round out the Red Coat experience.

2 Traditional Irish Breakfast
Plough & the Stars, 123 Chestnut St., 215-733-0300
Few dishes can kill a hangover like a fried-to-the-nines Irish breakfast. For $9.75, you see more flesh than a Club Risque bartender (sausage links and slabs of Irish bacon), along with a stack of potato pancakes, black and white pudding, baked beans, fried eggs, fried tomatoes and — imagine this — fried mushrooms.

3 Corned Beef and Cabbage
Fado Irish Pub, 1500 Locust St., 215-893-9700
Need to wash down something wonderful with your thick-as-a-Fribble Guinness? Nothing beats a pile of slow-cooked corned beef, buttered green cabbage and boiled red potatoes, all served with a side of brown bread for impromptu sandwich making.

4 Shepherd's Pie
Fergie's Pub, 1214 Sansom St., 215-928-8118
Those crazy UKers sure love pie. We're talking hearty, three-inch-thick pans offering belt-optional decadence for Philly's famished. The $8.75 traditional Shepherd's Pie features mashed potatoes heaped atop meats and veggies, then baked in a flaky pastry crust.

5 Bangers and Mash
Dark Horse, 421 S. Second St., 215-928-9307
That's Cockney jargon for sausage and mashed potatoes. This $9 spin on the lumberjack favorite is all gussied up with a caramelized onion demi-glaze. Drink with a frosty pint — the autumn nip won't stand a chance.
