  I’m always so worried about food with gravy. It can either be delicious, or foul. There’s no middle.

  They should allow gravy samples like they do ice cream 😤

  British invaded the entire world, and shipped exotic foods and spices back home for hundreds of years…

  Only to make food that looks like this.

  I’d say that’s a reasonable price for dog food.

  Ehi thats a good british dish… they’re trying their best guys, come on. This is nasty but a good builder breakfast is great: eggs, bacon, hotdogs, potates, beans and tomatoes. You can work for 3 days after it 🤣 south uk fish and chips is the shit ✌️

  Looks like the Brits were trying to follow recipe for poutine, but read peas instead of cheese.

  source

  • NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    People in here loving poutine, but you swap cheese chunks in your gravy for a vegetable and it’s suddenly disgusting? The North American palate is weird.

    source

    • FrostyTheDoo@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

      Cheese is better than every vegetable. Especially melted cheese. That’s certainly not an unpopular opinion or a weird take.

      Peas + gravy is a weird pallet mate, there’s a reason you can only find it in 1 place.

      Only good peas I’ve ever had were raw fresh off the vine. ENTIRLEY different texture and taste, juicy and crispy, vs bland and mushy. Whoever decided we need to start cooking them deserves the lack of love in their life.

  British food gets a bad rap but I don’t really get it. Fried fish, potatoes, roasted meat, cured meat, meat pies, lots of puddings and sweets, not to mention the Indian food. What’s not to like? I’m going to the UK in October and I’m pumped for the food.

  source

  • JohnnyMac@lemmy.world ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I’ve heard it’s because they invaded every country on the planet for their spices and decided to use none of them

    source

    • Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      We didn’t just steal the spices, we stole cooks too. Eg, our first curry house was 1810, run by a Bengali chap. So we didn’t piss about with traditonal English dishes to get our spice fix, we just went out for a ruby instead.

      I was going to defend us by pointing to how some of the most popular places to eat here are focused on spicy foods (curry houses) but when I thought about it more… you’re right :(

      The most popular dishes there are usually the less spicy ones (but they taste really nice and would probably taste even better if they were more spicy)

      source
  • snugglesthefalse@sh.itjust.works ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Best place to have fish and chips is near or on a beach in overcast weather. It’s a vibe. Pasties are definitely worth trying if you like pies and things. Greggs is worth a look. I think a lot of the bad press on our food is because so much of it doesn’t go for any kind of presentation, it just happens.

    source

    • idefix@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

      Greggs is my biggest cultural shock ever. I couldn’t find anything remotely edible there but locals keep praising it.

  • swizzlestick@lemmy.zip ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    If you’re bringing cash, bring it in 20s and below. 50s aren’t used much at all as they arouse suspicion - many smaller places will flat out not accept them.

    Hope you enjoy the trip :)

    source

    • Aggravationstation@feddit.uk ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I remember people used to say £50 notes were easier to forge compared to the others. Not sure if that was because of something about the note itself or because people saw them less and weren’t as used to them. Either way people became wary of accepting them. Plus it can be a pain to make change, especially when a lot of people pay with card now.

      source
    • arudesalad@sh.itjust.works ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Are you from the UK? How are you using lemmy.zip?

      Also, I never pay with cash so this might be why but I have never heard about the 50p thing, Is that true or are you saying it to mess with tourists?

    Lots of it I love but there’s definitely outliers. See jellied eels

    • Aggravationstation@feddit.uk ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yea, jellied eels are only really eaten on a small section of the south coast. The rest of the country wouldn’t go for that.

    • BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I’ve eaten Surströmming and liked it, been eating it once a year ever since. I’ve eaten Beuschl, Narezushi, mite cheese, eel soup, fried insects (pupa, crickets, spiders, scorpions…), snails, brain, testicles… heck I’ve even made the fish finger pie that one British YouTube cooking show lady made (same ingredients but different preparation). You can’t scare me with eels in azpik!

  What even is that? I see fries, gravy, canned peas and a hot dog? Is that right? Because £4 is overpaying. Currently that’s $5.31 in Freedom Funnbux. Definitely overpaid for that.

  • D_C@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Chips. Fries are thin pieces of fuck all.
    With a jumbo sausage. Self explanatory.
    Mushy peas. Peas that are mushy.
    And gravy. A sauce made from veggies and/or meats.

    I’m so old I can when a pea mix (chips and peas together) went up from 16 pence to 22 pence. I can’t remember why it went up so much though, I was very young at that time.

  • Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    *chips :3 big chunky chippy chips like that cannot be called fries. Also our wages are dogshit and our cost of living is sky high isnt that £4 isnt as much as it seems weirdly when a big Mac costs £5 by itself quite often.

    That mate is a jumbo sausage.

  Ya got yummy sausage. Ya got gravy. Ya got yummy deep fried starchy goodness to soak up said gravy.

  Why the the fuck would someone throw peas into that heavenly mix?!

  • Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Imma be real, peas in gravy are delicious in the same way corn is in mashed potatoes. Adds a sort of poppable texture that just goes well with the flavor

  When you get a takeaway in the UK and it comes in these little containers, it often looks like gross slop. I recently got a taco+cheese chip, and it looked like pure vomit.

  Doesn’t put us off eating it though. Normally tastes good. Our local chippies and curry houses are supreme.
