Just a little note on British cookery,
It has "History", something our overseas counterparts forget. Dates back to times before open trade and good fridges! Food was designed to be cheap, long lasting and above all else stodgy, to put and keep a good layer of fat on ya bones to get you through our uk weather. Since then it has evolved and reached its own height in the culinary world. Even didhes like spotted dick and toad in the hole can be served in top class reastaurants. The food is VERY tasty and if done correctly may possibly not give you heart faliure within a week.
Also note that the UK boasts one of the largest range of foreign cookery from french, indian (possibly the uks fave) to even some more obscure stuff. Most UK chefs are classically french trained in catering and can do more than "flip a burger"
so back off uk food, Its bloody smashing.
Long live custard.
