This is at a restaurant. Someone paid money for cheese and raw onion on bread. What are we doing here?

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 74 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Probably drinking first and eating secondarily

There’s not enough booze in the world to make me rawdog an onion like this.

Raw onion on a deli sandwich is great, but maybe not quite so much...

Funny. We Iranians almost always eat raw onions alongside food, but everyone in the west seems to hate them unless it's dripping with 6 liters of frying oil

[–] expr@programming.dev 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It really depends. Raw onions are common on hot dogs, burgers, salads, and various other foods.

Pubs aren't restaurants. If your pub has menus on the table after 7pm it's not a pub. It might be a bar, depends how much they're persuading people a pint of shite lager should cost.

People really think Blitz-era Brits were so decadent? Look at how much cheese is on there! That's enough to give an elephant nightmares. And that's like half an onion!

Besides, London rats are a meal all in themselves. No need for fancy cheese and onion cobs when you can go to the bins behind your local and get a wriggling, squeaking meal washed down with some fresh bin juice for free.

Europe: "terrorized and colonized the world to get spices" Also Europe: "serves up absolute disgusting food like this"

What the fuck was it all for?!?!

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 14 points 4 days ago (2 children)

UK isn't Europe it's just some shitty island

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

British Empire: Steals all the worlds spices

Also British Empire: Refuses to use any of them

[–] CXORA@aussie.zone 5 points 3 days ago

The people who got rich pillaging the world weren't the ones who ate like this.

Looks drier than Ben Shaprio's wife. Jesus Christ, man... Couldn't you lube it up with some condiments or something? This criminal act you call a sandwich should come with a choking hazard label.

I'm absolutely going to steal and search for a reason to use that first line

Well as long as we're yucking other people's yum...

People will mock this and then eat some peanut butter 🤢

[–] Portosian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Don't try to normalize this abomination. The preparation is as bad as the ingredients.

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago

If this was prepared properly and with a more sane amount of onion this would be totally fine to me. I like me some raw onions sprinkled over food, adds a little zest. Definitely not a centimeter thick slice tho.

No one was putting that much cheese on a ploughman's during the war.

[–] Aeri@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

This picture disgusts me so much that I desperately wish I could never see it again.

[–] FreshLight@sh.itjust.works 36 points 5 days ago (1 children)

My life is somewhat like the cheese section of a European supermarket. One half is moldy and the other half is not affordable for me.

A bowel contraction sandwich. Thick cut. Kills men over 50. I salute you.

I dunno... that looks like a nice simple sandwich.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 17 points 4 days ago (5 children)

Is there a reason they couldn't heat any of that up?

Just the good people of the Blur Boar Pub doing god's work, steadily battling shrinkflation one cob at a time. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/leicester-news/leicester-pub-goes-viral-gargantuan-9596401

"A Leicester city centre pub has gone viral online on account of its humongous cheese and onion cobs. The manager of The Blue Boar pub on Millstone Lane, Jo Kearley, said they get comments “every single day” on their gargantuan size, but admits that they can’t now start making them smaller. She said: “We don’t want to be labelled with the whole ‘shrinkflation’ thing. Our sort-of saying is that we aren’t ‘just a cob shop’, we also sell beer.”

My ancestors trail recipes are more varied than this, and half of them are just normal foods with chili poured over it. Why are you like this England actual cavemen had more varried foods, at least chop up the onion a bit more and grill the whole thing.

Throw it in a grill and it's much better.

Slap in some mayo and it looks like a pretty decent lunch. 🤷
