They travelled the world looking for exotic spices and didn't even incorporate it into their cuisine. What gives?

I've only had a full english once, and it certainly wasn't bland.

The English breakfast looks pretty tasty, if a bit overwhelming, but I'd try it.

British food in the 50s was a cup of watery gravy with a chocolate ration on the side.

It's just a meme. Plenty of good food. I have travelled all over the world multiple times over. Depends on who is cooking stuff can range from top tier to generic as hell. Also this is cheating a little but they also have some great Indian food there and Indian food is fucking amazing.

Crap, then what did they travelled for?

I would imagine they just chill the gelatin enough to thicken it, but not long enough for it to become solid. Then the bits should remain suspended where you place them.

Edit: google says they just do it in layers, letting each new layer set before adding the next.

Its not so much they are bland, but places like the U.S. load tons of sugar and fat into everything, even stuff like bread.

their food is more just not loaded with garbage

Some of it is good. I like Shepards Pie. Basically their pub food is good. But not so much things you would cook at home every night

Pretty much this.

Lots of great food to be had in Britain.
