ENGLISH FOOD.  Traditional foods have very ancient origins, such as bread, cheese, roast and stewed meat, patty, vegetables, broths and freshwater and saltwater fish. The fourteenth-century cookbook, Forme of Cury , contains recipes from these origins and dates back to the royal court of Richard II. In 1953, Britain's first celebrity chef, Philip Harben, published Traditional Dishes of Britain. Its chapter titles simply listed " the stereotypical stalwarts of the British diet ", from Cornish pasty and Yorkshire pudding to shortbread, Lancashire hotpot, steak and kidney pudding, jellied eels, clotted cream, and fish & chips. Panayi noted that Harben began with contradictions and unsupported claims, naming Britain's supposed reputation for the worst food in the world, but claiming that the country's cooks were technically unmatched and that the repertoire of national dishes was the largest of any country's.

When it was first ratified, the Bill of Rights only protected the rights it enumerated from federal infringement, allowing states and local governments to abridge them. However, beginning in 1897 with Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad v. City of Chicago, various portions have been held against the state and local government through the Fourteenth Amendment. Prior to the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment and the development of the incorporation doctrine, the Supreme Court in 1833 held in Barron v.
