If it's made well, then it's good. But that goes for all cuisines and cultures. And people do visit/look for certain foods such as cream teas, Cornish pasties, Haggis etc. We have regional dishes and ingredients that are interesting and reflect our heritage and culture, not even considering things that we've adapted as part of our cuisine.

Like no one would come here for the food realistically...
I think British cuisine is tasty. Although it does depend on how well the food is cooked. Eveyone will have different methods of cooking a certain dish.
But I guess they are quite similar.
fish n chips and a packet of crisps is british food

Maybe not so exotic like Asian and Italian food I like most of all, but not really boring. English breakfast is awesome. I also would eat fish and chips.
What even classes a British food?
every culture has their own traditions and for different reasons. why do English people historically eat the way they do, like root vegetables and bubble and squeak and not more fresh food or spicy food or tropical food like they do in hotter climates(?).
no British food isn't boring. it tells a different story about history, climate and sustainability. but i suppose if you grew up here you'd consider it boring. there's hardly such thing as the pub in North America so i find you guys fascinating (i'm not exaggerating
).

).Please list these dishes, everyone saying its not boring but can’t give one example of a non-boring tasteless dish.
Who wouldn't come here for the food. In all seriousness, all the above are extremely delicious.

bangers and mash
blood pudding
haggis
full english breakfast
sunday roast
all your pies
beef wellington
why do you think these are boring? they're not boring as i've already explained - they tell the story of the history of England. why do you think foreign food culture is more interesting?

yea its boring
Not at all, people who say it is have probably only tasted bland Toby Carvery stuff instead of stuff made from scratch using local ingredients. Obviously mass produced stuff tastes of nothing, same with curries, stir frys and other 'foreign' meals that are to be found in the frozen meal aisle.
Not knocking cheap stuff since that's all some people can afford and it is a staple of student life but it's not fair to judge a whole nation's meals based on limited experience.
According to some people who love to bash British dishes anything below searing your tastebuds off is bland and boring
As you say chucking spice on things doesnt intrinsically make it more interesting. Plenty of things taste like chilli peppers and spice.

You never had a pub lunch?
I think a common theme with a lot of British dishes is letting the ingredients speak for themselves, because they can be very good individually. Good cuisine isn't just chucking spices on something and calling it a day.
