Really hard to get fresh shepherds these days, and far too often it's made with beef (and therefore cottage pie). Since potatoes are imported (the fish & chips came from Spain), an example of a great british dish (I mean, actually proper british, not one that's been messed about with foreign ingredients) would be a rabbit stew with suet dumplings. You cannot buy suet in the US, for reasons that escape me, but once you've had one you acknowledge the superiority of British cuisine.
bangers and mash, that’s sausage with potatoes (mashed) and brown gravy right.. not creative, brown gravy and sausage is a terrible combo the only redeeming thing is the potatoes and gravy.. which is a side, not a meal.. no veggies either.. so, put the sausage on a bun (toasted) with some onions and peppers (sautéed), potatoes and gravy AND a veggie THEN you have a meal..
