If this shit ever becomes mandatory I will take up arms.

Fun to play with, not to eat.

You're going to throw that at the opposing team, right? ... Right?

Those are the mushiest and brightest green peas I have ever seen. 🤢 Shit looks like lumpy, artificial guacamole dip.

Those look more like french fries than real chips.

But honestly, don't knock it til you've tried it. That's some pretty tasty food, and better than a number of dishes we have in America.

Chips in the UK are called crisps and fries are called chips.

Yeah, I know. I'm originally from the UK.

ETA: the 'chips' in that photo look too skinny to be real British chips IMO.

Just to note: we have fries here too.

Chips are thick, fries are referring to the thin ones (like in McDonalds). However they're still a form of chip so many just call them chips all the same.

does look a bit shit

The American equivalent is watching “football” whilst eating a boiled Pigs Anus in a plastic skin, accompanied by a beer that is essentially diluted water.

I know which I’d rather be doing

I was in the UK for six days and if I learnt one thing there it was that the British like their food soggy and mushy.

"Let's fry potatoes and make them nice and crispy only to dump a cup of slop on top of it to make them all soggy again. And vinegar for some reason"

Edit: Maybe they weren't even crispy to begin with, idk, not eating that shit

As an American: vinegar on fries is good, and we agree with them, Ketchup (#1 fry sauce) is vinegar and tomatoes!

The ones I had done "properly" by a Brit I knew came out nice and crispy, then you put a little vinegar on them, not a ton, and it lightly seasons them without getting too damp. Can also help with the heat if they're fresh

The peas? Disgusting and wrong

[-] leftytighty@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago

in that regard this isn't unlike poutine, and poutine is pretty beloved
