I am a chef by trade and ex hotel restaurant manager , now travel agent
I can give you a very long list of British food to try.
For starters the British empire was 71 countries including your USA
The British commonwealth is 53 countries
So let’s start with breakfast
English full breakfast
Eggs , fried/poached/ scrambled/boiled
Bacon , real bacon not the American turkey crap .
Baked beans
Mushroon
Tomato grilled
Fried bread
Toast
Hash browns
Black pudding , pigs blood
Tea
Cereal
Yoghurt
Lunch
Ploughman’s salad
Pork pie
Cornish pastie
Fish & chips must be cod , not forgetting salt and vinegar
Dinner
Roast pork, must be served with apple sauce , Yorkshire pudding (basically a pancake mix made in to a very tasty dish ) mash potato , roast potatoe, peas , carrots
Sunday roast of roast beef served with Yorkshire pudding and horseradish sauce
Not forgetting gravy
All must be washed down with either bitter or other beer
Steak and kidney pie and mash , mushy peas and gravy with a pint of Guinness .
99 seaside ice cream , soft ice cream in cone with chocolate flake in the side
Must go seaside and buy seaside rock , take back to America if customs don’t class it as fresh food , that’s up to your country food laws , how the see seaside rock , basically is candy .
So much good food in Britain
Haggis from Scotland, I believe is Sheep’s brains
Curry is a must Britain’s favourite dish after fish and chips .
Sweet and sour pork from Chinese takeaway
Warning Britain food is not cheep in take aways or restaurant or at airports
Buying local supermarket and cooking yourself could save much money , depending where you are staying of course .
Now back to food
Drinks
Tea
Dandelion & burdock special British soda
Shandy , either lager and lemonade or beer and lemonade
Scones and cream , normally served as afternoon tea , oh and off course you have to have morning coffee
Cucumber sandwiches
Tennis at Wimbledon with strawberries and cream
Pimms and lemonade
Must eat a meal at a local country pub in the beer garden while watching the swans on the pond or lake
Oh you must go boating along a river
Must have a picnic in Hyde park
Must see changing the guard one day in London
Great pub by Windsor castle over looking the castle and the river themes
Oh must have a boat ride along the river themes any where , not just central London , themes goes for miles .
There is local dishes that I am sure Scouses peoples from Liverpool will post and Jordies will post people from newscastle and off course not forgetting the jocks , Scottish and the taffy,s Welsh
Oh and off course the paddies , the paddies being Northern Irish
This is no disrespect to there countries , this is just nick names that have stuck , especially with in the British Armed Forces .
There is so many good food , just best to find a traditional English pub serving traditional English bar and restaurant food .
Stay away from foreign food as much as possible while in the UK , you want to eat and try as much traditional English good food prepared by English chefs as possible , too many YouTube’s come england then post foreign food not English , they may as well have stayed in there own countries and posted the food and saved on airfare and hotels . No point travelling thousands of miles to eat the food you would eat at home
The reason to travel is food and culture
Hard to stay away from foreign food in England I know cause we are made up of over 100 countries , that why I say find a traditional English pub , not street market foreign food . Best take a day trip outside London you can , to one the Home Counties and sample real English food , basic food ,
Oh
Sausages mash and gravy
Fried egg sandwich
Bacon butty with butter and ketchup
Egg baked beans chips , as in fries not crisps
Steak and chips , really thick steak chips with mustard

Best find a traditional English cafe or coffee shop , food being cooked by a cook who is a English mother with kids , cooking food to customers that she will then go home and cook her husband and kids , as we say in England a greasy cafe.
