The British love British food. Those figures are for takeaway. Chinese food is convenient for takeaway. No one wants a roast beef takeaway. Don't get me wrong, I don't think British food is the best in the world. French or Italian food is way better and everyone knows it, but British food still tastes great.
Ha ha. Yes, the British like Indian food, but Chicken Tikka Masala isn't the most popular dish. The British like food from all over the world.
Indeed, I think that survey was a bit out of date. Here's a more recent one.
As you can see, even the British don't like British food. I very rarely see British cuisine in Asia, it's mostly Italian or French.

There weren't any Indians sailing half way around the world searching for British spices. And they couldn't even do that right. Ended up in America
Lived in the UK for more than 30 years, no one ever says let's go for an "English" or "British".
There are many good things about Britain today, but British food isn't one of them in my view.
Time to go and get my Sunday roast ;)
You should go to the pub for some British food and a pint.
The small brewery movement in UK is promising.
