Hey dont piss off the Scots, haggis is their claim to fame!
The Brits have their blood pudding, bangers & mash, pasties, liver mush....

Exotic - No.
Comforting, hearty and satsfactory - Yes.
I live in England and am not so into black pudding (the "blood sausage" as you so densely put it)
P.s. Haggis is SCOTTISH not ENGLISH.
Where are you from? You can't just knock other countries' food when you probably haven't even tried it. I've been to America and came back after gaining a stone!

I do not think so. English quisine is not all English. Other than the scottish foods that have been outlined I know that the english are not the only ones to make blood sausage or Lamb leg w/mint. I find English food very bland personally and flavorless. The fact that English food is not all English and that it is bland is the reason we do not find restaraunts here in the United states specializing in their menu's as english unless you have a pub that serves fish and chips and sandwiches.

Haggis and jellied eel are Scottish, from the Middle Ages. Why did Freddie Laker build an inexpensive airlines in the 70's, to allow the Brits to cme to New York for a "London Broil" ! Our forefathers from Britian have a long history for thouands of years... How will the Ameican hamburger be viewed a hundred years from now ? We ate ground beef slapped on a crappy white bread bun smothered in fat and a layer of tomatoe and lettuce to make us feel healthy ! And we stood in line for this!

Haggis is scottish, and I have never heard of jellied eel..
It's not exotic, but it makes you feel at home. It does what it's supposed to do - fills you up, and there's no frilly useless stuff. That's why it's good.

I grew up (not in England) with all these foods and none of them strike me as exotic. "Exotic" means not what you are accustomed to, doesn't it? I find USA food exotic, and odd-putting, e.g. scrapple.
By the way, haggis is not English, it's Scottish.

There are all sorts of resturaunts in the states, from chinese to indian, from german to italian. English food however should stay in England. Its terrible. On the bright side the English have some darn good beer to wash that awful food down.

Just like the food from the Dark Ages that Grand Mum used to make.

England's most popular dish = Chicken Tikka Masala
Given that this dish was first thought up by Bangladeshi chefs in the UK, this could be considered English food...
