They make good meat dishes (roasts, meat pies), but then they pair them with the most uninspiring sides…

I mean... British were always shafted by their nobility. The land wasn't known for fruits or sweet veggies, the rent in UK paid to the landlord was relatively high, so most peasants ate pickles, chutneys or different mushed veggies as sides.

    Not known for fruits? Strawberries, gooseberries, blackberries, apples…

    Yes. Historically British Isles had meh climate for fruit production. You could either forage for berries, but fruits were mostly seasonal apples or pears or plums, but the harvest seasons were rather short.
