I just had baked beans on toast with eggs today. Made them myself with onions, mushrooms, garlic, smoked paprika powder, a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon and a shot of maple syrup. It tasted great and I am not even English.
Fish and chips is the other national dish, and the first one. While I like it, it isn’t exactly full of flavor.
Classic British cuisine doesn’t really have spices, because the British Isles don’t really have too many foods that can be used as spices. Sure, once they colonized India, they got some spices, but even still classic British food mostly stayed the same.

I would try this if I weren’t a) a bad cook and b) terrified
Well you used spices and things with flavor, so it’s not very British.
If you’re going to ignore the entirety of British-indian cuisine, then Americans really shouldn’t be calling Mexican food their tastiest creation.
Are you not aware that a British national dish is Chicken tikka masala?
Brit here. National dish is fish and chips or a roast, tikka masala is top 3 but not number 1.
Oh come on lad! I am defending you guys here and you have nothing better to do than back stabbing me?

If you think a friendly debate like that is backstabbing you clearly haven’t been to south London
Never mind, I´m just being ironic :)
