BRITISH JACKET POTATO 
2 large baking potatoes
2 tins of good tuna (drained)
1 1/2 tbsp. butter
1/4 tsp ground pepper
salt till your happy
1 cup shredded mature cheddar cheese
1/4 a tad more real mayonnaise
2 tbsp. very finely diced onion (optional but real nice)

Preheat oven on 450°F.

Using a knife, (carefully) poke holes in the potatoes. On a microwave safe plate: 5 minutes... then turn.. 5 minutes more.... Place them in the oven on a rack and bake for at least 1 1/4 hour. The skin should be caramel and crispy sweet.

During all that ready your Tuna and chill. When potatoes are fork tender, cut a cross on the top of the potatoes and push down till opened. Add butter, salt, pepper... ALL: Cheese... Tuna on the Top, then mayonnaise. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

This can be replaced with beans and cheese... What else is more "British" other than this AMERICAN.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
