British food is like the Mum's casserole; maybe not the tastiest but an ingenius creation given what's available. Here are some staples of the British cuisine, for better or worse:
Better:
Crumpets
Baked Beans (so simple, so versatile)
Chutney
Toasties (grilled cheese sandwiches usually with a strong cheddar)
Sweetcorn
Mature Cheddar
Curry (sure, this counts as British)
Fish 'n Chips (when done well)
Worse:
Salad Cream
Black Pudding
Mushy Peas
Cornish Pasties
Trifle
Meat Pies (a mysterious mess inside)
Fry -Ups
Fish 'n Chips (when soggy, greasy and lacking in fish)
Only my opinion, and a fussy one, I realize. British cuisine maybe a bit unhealthy and sometimes bland, but that's what salt and pepper is for.
