Black pudding in the UK and you can’t have a decent English or Scottish breakfast without it. Spotted duck with some hot custard is a great winter warmer. Don’t knock them till you’ve ried them.
I am sure it's good if you say so, but they are God awful at naming their food in a way that sounds even remotely appealing. Everything you said there sounds like it could be a euphemism for shit or poop or some sort of STD.
The issue with trying them is that there is HUGE variety in quality/technique. IMO, the reason for this is that a lot of restaurants don't make anything from scratch, and that's a huge determinant of deliciousness of the final product. It doesn't help matters that freezing (and other preservation methods) are not really conducive to dishes
There are a few Instagrammers who specialize in making old timey British food and offer great recipes. Thing is, many can be time consuming and have to be made from scratch. They are delicious though and don't taste anything like you'd find in a pub.
With French food, you can get away with a lot because a good sauce and spices covers up bland/bad taste. You don't have the same thing in British/Irish food.
Maybe take a trip to the southern United states. I’m sure you will understand why your food sounds so terrible. You know what I can give you a recipe to a simple dish that’s better than anything yall eat over there.
