I've gotta be honest, shepherd's/cottage pie above basically that entire mid tier is a pretty controversial take to me. I don't think I'd ever choose the pie when presented with it versus a chicken tikka or toad in the hole for example

Some of the low tier is being unfairly chastised, scotch eggs deserve better, especially the fancy warm runny ones you get in nice pubs. A good beef wellington can be a religious experience

Now finally, I have to take huge umbrage to black pudding, haggis & kippers being in crap tier. They are some of the regional breakfast highlights.

I will die on the hill that a fry up is incomplete without at least one piece of black pudding (ideally from Bury or Stornoway). Haggis is a bonus flavour bomb that's also welcome

... And kippers with buttery scrambled eggs on toast just slaps
