yeah probably

it appears to be chips, gravy and peas which, as much as we can say "lol angloids", probably fucking slaps and would delete a hangover instantly

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

Yeah everyone dunking on this has clearly never had gravy fries and the peas actually is a genius addition. I would definitely devour that.

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's pie mushy peas and gravy with chips and it's good. I swear half you fuckers who dunk on British food would balk at the majority of the things they eat around the rest of the world.

Yes, nuke England with my blessings, the country fucking sucks, but stop dunking on working class food, especially because it is actually fucking tasty

[-] Gorb@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

I will always maintain that American food is significantly worse than british food. Beans on toast is literally based vegan proletarian meal smdh

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

With soft beans and crunchy toast you already have a contrast of textures that is more interesting than most other quick and cheap meals.

[-] Gorb@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

my favourite part is the crunchy crust then the gooey bean soaked bread in the middle. Also really nice with some pepper on top

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

Yes. People should stop being babies saying Ew to the concept of "gravy over something that isn't gravy".

[-] Krem@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

a sophisticated mac-n-cheese and mayo-on-crustless-white-bread eater when they see british chips and gravy: visible-disgust

a USian with bleached teeth when they see a normal mouth: the-democrat speech-side-l-1 maw smuglord speech-side-l-2

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Americans slapping the same spice rub on every single thing upon seeing someone use herbs or even just consider what spices/sauces goes best with what they're preparing: Hehehe those people eat bland food.
I get that it's a response to some movement in America where a bunch of white people find mayo spicy, but seriously the recipes I see people post... You're like those white dudes who buys those terrible hot sauces with artificially boosted capsaicin levels in order to prove something, but with spices.

[-] Krem@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

smoked paprika and garlic powder are so epic, but so is whatever is the Next Thing (in 2010 it was sriracha, in 2020 it was gochujang, now it's za'atar maybe? though that's too difficult to source for your average foodbro)

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

I love smoked paprika. I prefer regular garlic, but to each their own. I don't put either in everything.
I still have a bottle of extra hot sriracha and tbh the taste has worn off, or maybe they've changed the recipe. Kinda just tastes like ketchup, which I've never been a big fan of

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 24 points 1 month ago

I'm an Ameroid with burgerlander tendencies, so I may not know exactly what constellation of takeaway/street food this is... but it looks like mushy peas, fried potatoes aka "chips" and some brown sauce or maybe a bit of curry?

if any configuration of that is true, I would absolutely house this ("tuck in" I believe is an equivalent term) in front of strangers, God, St Andrew, and everybody. is even tip the tray up with my open maw as the gutter to catch what's left.

it has all the 4 food groups: sweet, sour, tumeric, and fried.

[-] Beluga@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

Close but the sauce is actually just gravy but some people would add brown sauce to this meal if it suits their preference

[-] Weedian@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

I'd try it if it was in front of me, but i wouldn't order it

Yeah. Potatoes + gravy is classic and I like how peas taste.
I'd prefer to keep fries crispy for some texture, but whatever.

So many of the people who dunk on food just reveal themselves to have the palette of a baby. "Ew I'm not used to this concept wah wah, give me the same thing I know I like that's safe" (this excludes my ND comrades)
As if half the shit most people eat isn't just beige plates of grease and slop anyway.
Try it and find out if it's good.
Like the "beans on toast lmao" meme kinda frustrates me. Have you tried beans on toast? It's good.
Dunking on Brits is a time-honored tradition but it gives some people weird brain worms were they actually believe the hyperbolic stuff we say to piss off brits.

I like to make a sort of pea mush and serve it alongside some rice, salmon and a wild salad.

In conclusion: NT picky eaters get sent to the gulag

[-] Krem@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

this looks like garbage but might actually taste good, and might be vegan. crispy potatoes in spiced goop is usually good. the classic chinese night market fare is wolftooth potatoes (slightly underdone wavy cut fries) in spicy gravy and pickled green beans. since i absolutely love that garbage, I would eat this anglo garbage.

So many of the people who dunk on food just reveal themselves to have the palette of a baby.

First bite i had of aforementioned wolftooth taters i thought "this is not great, the potatoes are not even soft and the sauce tastes sour and weird" but a few bites in you start to love it for just that. people need to try weird shit once in a while, and try it twice if they don't really like it first time around. aquired tastes have almost always become my favourites while simple things i enjoyed as a kid (ketchup, oven fries, lmayo etc) have taken their proper place as being just acceptable.

adult baby palates (people with sensory issues aside) feel like the food version of adults that only read harry potter

It's kinda infuriating how often people basically say something like "my [acquired taste] is objectively delicious, good and normal and your [acquired taste] is nasty, weird and disgusting!"
Two short videos about acquired tastes that I found informative:

hehe i'm not like those angloid food plebs, i just discovered sriracha. guess you could say i'm pretty worldly and cultured. you couldn't handle this intense spice

[-] lapis@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

this looks like as awful a textural experience as creamed corn plus the gross shit is covering a portion of the chips/fries, so that's a hard pass from me.

[-] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

I'm drunk and I love peas and potatoes load me up

[-] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago
[-] Moss@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

Americans be like "beans in toast is so terrible" and then their spicy exciting food is a burger. Or Mac and cheese. Or pizza. Or potato salad.

And that's still good food!

[-] Sickos@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

I'm pretty sure that would go from shitty to amazing to inedible just depending on the quantity of salt invovled

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

I mean I guess. Are those peas? Do i get to use chopsticks or a fork?

The presentation is horrid but I'm pretty sure it's mashed peas and potato fries.

so it's basically poutine but with peas instead of cheese curds. I hope it's called peatine

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

Just sorta use the paper and styrofoam to form a sort of funnel and probably slam it in one minute so i don't waste any of my lunch break

[-] WhoaSlowDownMaurice@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yep. Love peas, love potatoes, good to me, plus it's probably vegan.

[-] dat_math@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

what kind of :beanis: is this?

[-] dead@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

It's mashed green peas. This is a British dish called chips and mushy peas.

[-] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

Theyre mature peas that are soaked in water with baking soda before being rinsed and cooked

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushy_peas

and I love them

After the initial thoughts of "ew" and "what the fuck", for a zecond I was thinking who the hell uses that much Wasabi.

I'd prefer if it wasn't on styrofoam

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

I'm a saiyan. I'm not exactly picky

[-] SadArtemis@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

My first thoughts were that I'd never seen fries look that unappetizing- but apparently mushy peas are a thing and I'd probably have to at least try them before writing it off entirely. I'd try anything (or most things anyways, there are some things even beyond me) once.

[-] darkmode@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

I’m not picky & it’s clearly submerged in gravy so I’d go hog-mode. However if I were pressed ganged to ingerland i think i’d want to try kebab first to see if they do it right

[-] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

looks pretty good tbh cool-bean

probably need to add some spice, maybe sriracha or hot sauce bean-think but yeah gimme dat plate gunpointdean-malice

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

I would. It could be shit but there's a decent enough chance that it's actually good.

[-] Beetle_O_Rourke@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

Cursed poutine

[-] Strayce 7 points 1 month ago

I have been known to enjoy a pie floater so probably. Heavily depends on the brand of peas though.

[-] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Smack barm pea wet

[-] Hexboare@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Does this have literally any spices or texture other than soggy wet?
