Looks like the Brits were trying to follow a recipe for poutine, but transcribed it as "peas" instead of "cheese".

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 38 points 6 days ago

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

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 6 points 6 days ago (2 children)

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.

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

[–] arudesalad@sh.itjust.works 32 points 6 days ago

The cameras lie to you. It looks way less disgusting when you are about to eat it!

~~but yes, it does~~

[–] leaky_shower_thought@feddit.nl 29 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It turns like that right before being photographed

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 47 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I'd say that's a reasonable price for dog food.

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

As a Spaniard I was going to comment that it is kind of overpriced dog food.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

Here in the Netherlands I spend 80 euros on 10kg of cat food (kibble).

[–] Spezi@feddit.org 11 points 6 days ago

Why do you hate dogs?

[–] possiblyaperson@sh.itjust.works 67 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I can't lie that looks genuinely amazing. Yes I am British, how can you tell?

[–] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 45 points 6 days ago (1 children)

As an American, I'd try it. I just don't understand it.

[–] Paddzr@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

The £ is a bit of a giveaway.

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 26 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I think the r/casualUK is a bigger giveaway

Those peas look like they came from can in a silent film and were colorized for this photo.

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 39 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] JohnnyMac@lemmy.world 32 points 6 days ago (4 children)

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

[–] BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 days ago

The taste of British food and the looks of British women made the Britains the best sailors in the world!

[–] Pumafred9@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

No, you're thinking of our grammar.

[–] arudesalad@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 days 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)

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 :)

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.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago

If I were to spend £4 on a meal, I prefer an egg

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 25 points 6 days ago

I'd eat that, especially at that price. Not even British

[–] tauren@lemm.ee 14 points 6 days ago

2 girls 1 british food

Youd have to pay me to eat that shit

Poor people acting fancy calling garbage food. Yet after a joint at 3am I would fuck with it. Ever try ketchup and peas?

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 😤

[–] bravesirthomas@lemm.ee 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

As a Brit... yeah, that looks disgusting.

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.

[–] kwedd@feddit.nl 11 points 6 days ago

I'd eat that, and in only a little drunk.

[–] synicalx@lemm.ee 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (4 children)

Call me a child, but peas are gross. The rest looks fantastic though.

[–] picklejar@lemmy.sdf.org 19 points 6 days ago

You child!

You're welcome.

Ya got yummy sausage. Ya got gravy. Ya got yummy deep fried starchy goodness to soak up said gravy.

Why the the fuck would someone throw peas into that heavenly mix?!

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 6 days 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

Ehi thats a good british dish… they’re trying their best guys, come on. This is nasty but a good builder breakfast is great: eggs, bacon, hotdogs, potates, beans and tomatoes. You can work for 3 days after it 🤣 south uk fish and chips is the shit ✌️

Holy shit ... 4 pounds for the worst diarrhea and wet bean farts of your lifetime. What a steal.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 7 points 6 days ago

Almost makes me wish I could abide mushy peas. If I did I would finally be allowed to return to the North.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 8 points 6 days ago

I want to make a joke about "shitpost", but my beloved chili is right there with it. I suspect this might be mouthwatering to the intended audience.
