If you think British food's bad, you've clearly never tried Dutch food. Though given your examples, you've probably never tried British food either: the pies, roasts and sausages are all better than fish and chips, and the crumbles, apple pies, bread and butter puddings and sticky toffee puddings are some of the best warm deserts in the world. Add some decent cheeses such as Stilton and Cheddar, scotch eggs and a fried breakfast that rivals anything American in calories, and you've got a cuisine that can stand its own in crowded Europe. Not as good as Italian, admittedly, but certainly no worse than most.
British dishes can sometimes be revolting, think of jellied eels And food gets worse the further "oop" north you go. Think of Scotland's haggis and deep fried mars bar.
And (excuse my language) Brits also have a dish called faggots!!, and also bubble & squeak, toad in the hole, Cock-a-Leekie soup and Stinking Bishop cheese,
