I reckon its some mix of the basic reality of the British climate, rationing, and the food pyramid lies of the last century that disproportionately affecting British cuisine - lard and meat drippings having been essential part of the Victorian homestead. Also the simple fact that Britain has a vastly outsized cultural output, and has been hit particularly hard by modern Western self-loathing, i.e., more people are aware of British cuisine than, say, the equally boring Swedish cuisine, and the Brits are less likely to defend its existence.
