What about sandwiches(!), desserts, and gastropub fair? Tasty.
Not to mention afternoon tea (a fine tradition) and lots of nice grab-and-go lunch options in many shops. And items marked as suitable for (usually ovo-lacto-)vegetarians.
And cheeses, many cheeses (though they may not all be strictly British in origin.) And chocolate - even the humble Cadbury bar seems better than its US version.
There is also something to be said for the full English breakfast vs. the anemic "continental" breakfast.
