Now imagine that count of (granted, good British dishes) multiplied by about 10x-100x and you just got Greek Cuisine, or Portuguese, or even Spanish (so not even mentioning French or Italian).
Mind you, it's not only the Brits that have but a handful of really good local dishes: from my experience of also living in The Netherlands, they're about the same in that domain: a handful of good dishes which is but a fraction by of what you would find in the local cuisine pretty any Southern European country.
While it's just outright deceitful to portray Britain as devoid of good local dishes, the local cuisine in general (both in variety and in terms of what the average person normally cooks at home) isn't exactly great.
