Y'all could use more seasoning. Didn't y'all do colonialism for spices?
UK food has lots of seasoning, I really don't know where this meme comes from.
The UK actually has spicier food than anywhere else in Europe. The only other countries really being Spain and Hungary.
Even putting aside how massive British-Indian cuisine is here, there's extensive use of English mustard, which is spicy (try it if you haven't, it's nothing like American or Dijon mustards), and horseradish, which is basically wasabi.
I was specifically referring to the beans
I always put all kinds of spices and herbs in my baked beans
People season those too.
They abandoned the spices when France did. The reason? Poor people could also afford spices so it was no longer a status symbol. The new status symbol was simple meals of very fresh meat and vegetables cooked with complicated methods requiring many hours and loads of practice.

In reality, UK food uses spices extensively.
Tell that to a Full English or a Tikka Masala
