British food is working food. It was never meant to impress you. It was supposed to fuel a long day of farm labor, and be easy to source in their countryside. But that doesn't make it wack, just very regular.

Shepherd's pie

Lamb, potatoes, veggies, cheese, and sweet seasoning. Can't go wrong. It's basically like if Italian meatballs and American meatloaf and mashed potatoes had a baby. It's versatile too. You can probably use any meat, tuber, or seasoning.

Scotch Eggs

It can fit in your pocket and it's a good breakfast that's not messy or really unhealthy (if you bake it). And again, you can easily remix it. I'd prefer to wrap it in ham. Originally it was done with fish.

Cornish Pasty

This might be one of the most popular and remixed British dishes ever. Some say brits invented hand pies. These were created as a filling meal for miners. The edges were designed to let them eat without contaminating their food.

Fish and Chips

Most people probably think of chain restaurant food or diners when you mention it. It's a testament to its widespread popularity. Can't go wrong with a big, fat fish, thick beer batter, and chunky fries.

Full English Breakfast

Yum.
