Sounds like somebody never tried a warm plate of Scraggledy Numps, or a bowl of Thumps in a Bodice, or even a hot cup of Singeshammy Longerjohns in Tabbernickywammelty sauce.

I genuinely believe these are actual names of actual british foods.

Go back far enough, and you uncover dishes with wonderful names like Farts of Portingale.

well america has shit on a shingle

[–] Poik@pawb.social 2 points 1 hour ago

So called because the toast in military kitchens were nicknamed shingles, as in roofing tiles. Evocative of bad cooking, which I'm betting was rampant.

Honestly, shit on a shingle (s.o.s. appropriately) is better than it sounds, even when not referred to under that name. But it's definitely a comfort food. It's not good for you, it's just creamy, beefy, and starch. Inoffensive, cheap, and easy to make in bulk. (Kinda want some now.)

I had a hot cup of Singeshammy Longerjohns in Tabbernickywammelty sauce once.

Never again! I prefer mine cold.
