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
I will always maintain that American food is significantly worse than british food. Beans on toast is literally based vegan proletarian meal smdh
With soft beans and crunchy toast you already have a contrast of textures that is more interesting than most other quick and cheap meals.
a sophisticated mac-n-cheese and mayo-on-crustless-white-bread eater when they see british chips and gravy:
a USian with bleached teeth when they see a normal mouth:
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.
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)
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
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.
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
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.

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, 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:

salty licorice is a very rare example of an interesting flavor to come out of north europe. pickled herring was certainly an aquired taste before I was but in hindsight it kinda just tastes like every other white-vinegar+sugar pickled food which is fine i guess, nothing extraordinary
