Which two food items are commonly associated with English cuisine?

Okay, let's talk about what makes roast beef and fish and chips so quintessentially English. Think about British culinary history. For centuries, roast beef has been a staple, particularly for Sunday lunch. It was a symbol of prosperity and national pride, even inspiring the French to nickname the English "les rosbifs." Fish and chips, on the other hand, emerged in the 19th century during the Industrial Revolution. The development of steam trawlers made fishing more efficient, and the railways allowed fresh fish to be transported to urban areas. Fried potatoes, introduced earlier, became the perfect accompaniment. Together, they became a cheap, readily available meal for the working class and quickly gained national popularity. So, while other dishes are certainly part of British cuisine, roast beef and fish and chips have a unique historical significance and cultural association specifically with England. Haggis is famously Scottish, and the Ulster fry is a Northern Irish breakfast staple, so they wouldn't be associated with England.
