Spotted Dick was a staple of school lunches in my youth. Never fancied Stargazy Pie (too bony) but my chef son worked in Cornwall and has made and sold a few. Nothing on the menu at Simpsons that you can't get in a pub anywhere else.
My US colleagues used to suffer for a few days when visiting the UK. Jet lag coupled with spending a day immobile and dehydrated on a plane and in a boardroom, often leads to constipation. One very traditional pub lunch I used to recommend was lamb stew - it's a novel but pleasant taste to the American palate, definitely reminds them of their supposed Gaelic roots, keeps out the cold, and if you're not used to it, cleans out the lower intestine very quickly and smoothly.

To me, the greatest gastronomic dish available in England is the indian curry as interpreted by the Bangladeshi chefs. I have tried curries in many countries and nothing comes near an "English indian" vindaloo.
