As a Brit, so wrong on so many levels :-)
But also, might explain some the teas I've been given when travelling...

Do tell us more about this famous British cuisine…
It may not look much but have you ever tasted a rich mince stew? The tatties are the error here. They should be mashed with butter and cream, possibly also with caramelised onions (if you have the time), but for sure - there is no sugar in there, no additives, no mouth feel enhancers, and only enough salt for taste.
Now, thanks for reminding me, I need to get some salmon out of the freezer to marinade in ginger, soy and honey :-) Because real British Cuisine, like a great artist, STEALS from the entire world :-) (I mean, the tatties are from the Andes....).
see, now this all sounds delicious, but that picture does not look delicious.
As a British kid, first thing you learn is to eat what's on the plate or go hungry. If you're lucky.
If you're unlucky you have to sit at the table for hours in a battle of wills over a baked custard tart (50 years later and still, just, can't eat cold baked custard tart flan)
Second thing you learn, you can't judge food by it's looks. Except cold baked custard tart, obvs.
Bon apetite!
I will agree with you that most tea is pretty much dirt water when you don't make it yourself with loose leaves or find the right spot that knows how to brew it right. Americans think Lipton is all there is.
