À l'Anglaise

À l'Anglaise is a French expression meaning something cooked "in the English manner."

It can refer to wildly different cooking methods with no real common element, except that in the French mind it's how the English would cook that particular food item.

It can mean:

something boiled and served with no sauce, save perhaps butter;
rolled in breadcrumbs, after being dipped in flour then a mixture of egg, salt, pepper and oil (in the ratio of 1/2 teaspoon of oil per egg.) This liquid mixture is called "anglaise;"
something poached;
fish that is coated with just oil or butter then grilled and served simply with butter.

Also called:

All'inglese (Italian); A la inglesa (Spanish)
