Not officially but unofficially Beans on Toast is most recognizable other than Fish and Chips or and Full English Breakfast

Official National Dishes are always suspect. For example, the US has Turkey in general, and Apple Pie, which is an English dish

Realistically, Pies should be the national dish of the UK (Mince Pie, Shepherds Pie, Pork Pie, Pasty, Fish Pie, Many Dessert Pies) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:British_pies

Does pork pie fall into the realms of local delicacy?

Only if made in Melton Mowbray.

Does a pasty count as a pie? I think they should be on our list of national delicacies too.

Cornish pasty is definitely distinct from a pie, in my opinion.

Made next to a certain barber's shop.

I would agree that pies are very much a national treasure.

It's amusing watching the Americans try and claim pies because they make fruit pies.

Of even the dessert pies, that's only a small subset!
