That hasn't really been the case for a few decades. At this point, Brits are just as likely to "get a curry" as they are to eat anything else. I've had extremely good Indian food, Chinese food, and Middle Eastern food in London--in addition to ordering a traditional Roast Beef with Yorkshire Pudding.

Same here, but I never had the traditional roast beef with yorkshire pudding.
I visited London in 2015, expecting bland food. I had some of the best pizza in Covent Garden, and I say that as a lifelong Jerseyite. We went to this fantastic vegetarian buffet, which, sadly, has left London and is only in Switzerland now, but I bought their cookbook for my daughter. I was vegetarian at the time, and I had an excellent chickpea pie in a pub near the Tower. Yes, all sorts of Middle Eastern and Far Eastern cuisines available.
Also, we stayed at an airbnb in Southwark. There were a lot of fried chicken places along the main road in our neighborhood.
I did used to know a Brit woman in the US who said when she wanted something to eat that reminded her of home, she would have Heinz vegetarian baked beans over toast. That's probably more the type of Brit food you're thinking of. Didn't tempt me to make it.

The traditional English Breakfast usually consists of fried eggs, sausage or bacon, fried mushrooms, toast, and baked beans. Many years ago, a survey indicated that the majority of Brits considered Heinz to be a British company. Go figure!
The next time that you visit London, I strongly suggest having lunch at Harrods. And, based on the following article, I might add Selfridges to my luncheon list:

Thanks. I do hope to go back, and I would like to visit Manchester, as well, since the great-great-grandparents whose (fairly common) last name I carry came from there to Paterson, NJ, in 1863.

My maternal Grandfather's family migrated from London to Manchester in the 1850s, so that city is on the agenda for my next visit. A bit later, they immigrated to The US.

Are any of the surnames in that part of your family any of the following?
Phillips
Harris
Woolf
If we have Woolf in common, then you are likely related to Virginia Woolf, as am I .
