It's true that if I can easily add to what I have already written. I am relatively well travelled, and I make sure to try to local cuisine whenever I go to a new country (never understood people who travel half the world away only to eat in McDonalds - and I know quite a few. I mean, I am not against the occasional fast food, and acknowledge that even fast food chains in some countries offers local variations that may not be found in others - but not every single meal).
But I must say that I struggle a little whenever someone (nowadays Japanese friends) ask me for some recommendations when they visit the UK. And I guess I am not the only one who make a poor British ambassador because sometime I am asked "I hear that food in the UK isn't great - is that true?". I am quite keen on steaks in the UK because they are comparatively cheaper (yes) than in Japan and and you can get nice ones done even in pubs. I want to suggest curry and kebab, but even though they are so common that they may also be taken as being part of modern British culture, it simply won't be accepted as such from an outsider point of view. I can't say that I am overly enthusiastic when talking about the world famous fish & chips and other well known dishes. There is nothing I can't eat but there simply isn't a lot I am missing now that I am in Japan. Of course there are many very nice restaurants in the UK as well as Michelin starred restaurants operated by celebrity chefs.. but I am usually asked about "traditional dishes".
