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

      I thought he bought a box of vomit for 4 bucks. What you said seems to make a lot more sense.

      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 ⁨month⁩ 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.

    Does all British food look like literal diarrhea or only the British food that gets photographed?

        It’s pork, chips, gravy and peas. Had it had less gravy, it’d look less messy.

      my only complaint is that the chips look dreadfully underdone, they should be way darker

      but hey what do i know, maybe brits just like fries that are still raw in the middle…

    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.

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

      • arudesalad@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        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
      • Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.

    • swizzlestick@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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?

      people just love to hate germanic food in general, all “no spices!” as if salt isn’t a spice and onions have no flavour…

      the thing is just that germanic food tends to be quite “simple”: some meat, some carbs, a sauce, some vegetables maybe. Yeah it’s generally very same-y but that’s because it fucking works.

      source
    • zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

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

      source
      • BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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!

        source
      • Aggravationstation@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.

        source
    • snugglesthefalse@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨month⁩ ago

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

    Pretty sure £4 is below minimum wage, especially since you’re exposed to such hazardous materials?

    They should be getting way more for taking care of this monstrosity.

    • Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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

      source

      I’m not a fan of mushy peas. Swap it and the gravy out for some Irish-style curry sauce and now we’re talking.

      • Mustakrakish@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        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.

    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.

  • 2ugly2live@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    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 😤
