Isn't toast normally dried?
On a more serious point, beans on toast is not the national dish on any list I've seen.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_dish#U
Looking up UK or England gives Chicken Tikka Masala, Fish and Chips or Sunday Roast. Scotland has haggis, Wales has Crawl and NI has Ulster Fry.
Not officially but unofficially Beans on Toast is most recognizable other than Fish and Chips or and Full English Breakfast
Official National Dishes are always suspect. For example, the US has Turkey in general, and Apple Pie, which is an English dish
Realistically, Pies should be the national dish of the UK (Mince Pie, Shepherds Pie, Pork Pie, Pasty, Fish Pie, Many Dessert Pies) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:British_pies
