On the left is what happens when you look up “British Food”
Looks like the shit your autistic little cousin has to eat so he dosent sperg the fuck out at a restraunt from having his pallet overstimulated.
On the right is Enchiladas Verdes, which, even visually, Solos that shit.
 
. Even the original coronation chicken recipe was designed to be as inoffensive as possible.There are a couple of pre wwii English dessert recipes that I use and like, but even they follow the English theme. Every English dish I've ever seen seems excessively savory and mild in flavor

No, fish and chips looks far better than the one on the right. Not everything needs to be caked in spices to be enjoyable.

Thought a bit more about it over a few hours. British food is bland compared to other cultures, but it's not a bad thing as it allows more freedom when making the dish. If you want an English breakfast but with some spice in it, you can use spiced sausages for example or cook the food in a spicy oil. Fish and chips isn't spicy by itself, but it's common for people to get a carton of curry with it. But if they don't want any spice in their food, they can also choose to have those dishes normally, while you can't really have Mexican or Indian food without the spice. The specific image you chose for the fish and chips was from a CNN Article and looked pretty poor so I take back what I said about that specific image, but this fish and chips (and mushy pees) is 100% better than whatever dish you proposed.

Asked one of my family members about Jellied Eels, they said they had it once and it was horrible. It's apparently common in London, though it's more of a tourist food. Was apparently a common meal for the working class in the 19th and 20th century. Eel also counts as an oily fish.

The problem is the british can come close to getting it right then fuck it up completely. Fish n chips, okay fine, simple but good. But why fuck the whole thing over with some mushy peas? Visual vomit is not something I would want on my plate. The cheap ass beans are also offensive.
 
British people can't tolerate spice at all, or at least think they can't so won't even try it.

Q has been answered. A traditional British dish is processed fish fingers, chips and peas or baked beans. Want a curry? A Brit will make you a korma. Either that or fried fish and chips from one of the many chip shops, or a takeaway from the Indian or the Chinkies (I know that isn't PC but it's what people call Chinese food).
 
Kick out that green babyfood in the corner and this shit MAY actually slap a little.

I mean, yeah, it looks like what you’d see on a box of wet cat food, but even in that reguard, it looks like GOOD wet cat food.
 
Some of British food's reputation comes from the neverending rationing that happened in the 20th century. American soldiers saw some of that shit, assumed that was how British food always was, and told their friends back home. Yes, even the ones from Minnesota. A good amount of the reputation actually comes from upper class British people falling for a French psyop to make everyone think French food was the best.

This psyop still persists to this day.
