The unseasoned boiled potatoes and the untoasted bread are just bland.
The ground beef and carrots in the undefinable brown liquid would be a textural nightmare. I cannot fathom how it tastes because the closest thing in the US would be a sloppy joe.
The real problem with this is lack of technique and seasoning.
Here’s how I would “fix” this:
Toast the bread, roast and season the potatoes, make the ground beef and sauce into a something resembling Salisbury steak, and cook the carrots as their own side dish.
The bread is a sop. You can’t sop with toast; that’s insane. The “undefinable brown liquid” is stock and is common across the world’s cuisines. If you season the potatoes further, assuming they’re lightly salted, you run the risk of overseasoning the dish (they’re sitting next to a very rich stew). You’re just making these up now.
I cannot fathom how it tastes
Then don’t say anything! Easy peasy!
Edit to add: The only problem as it were with this food is that it lacks colour, so of course you wouldn’t serve this at a restaurant. But when’s the last time anyone gave a fuck about colour when bashing out tea on a thursday eve?
The closest thing in America would be a meat gravy meant to go on mashed potatoes. My family always cheaped out on seasoning and used a French onion soup seasoning packet, so thats the majority of what it tastes like to me.
One of my favorite dishes from being a kid, would put corn on top of gravy on top of mashed potatoes.
The stack of buttered bread is disgusting. My parents used to do that when I was a kid though and I didnt question it.

What do you mean unseasoned, they have salt on them. smh
Perfectly good boiled potatoes and stew.
Even cheap British bread usually tastes good.
And it would still be better toasted
I can’t argue with that!
Better than USA bread but worse than e.g. French or German.
It does not. Unless you never had actual bread.
