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 1 week ago

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

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

[–] arudesalad@sh.itjust.works 32 points 1 week ago

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

~~but yes, it does~~

It turns like that right before being photographed

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

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

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

[–] Paddzr@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week 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 1 week ago (2 children)

I think the r/casualUK is a bigger giveaway

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

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

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

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Spezi@feddit.org 10 points 1 week ago

Why do you hate dogs?

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago

Is this what yall think poutine looks like?!?

Canadadians, shield your eyes!!!

[–] Ghostwurm@lemmy.ca 33 points 1 week ago

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

[–] cattywampas@lemm.ee 33 points 1 week ago (5 children)

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 1 week 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

[–] Pumafred9@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

No, you're thinking of our grammar.

[–] BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

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

[–] arudesalad@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week 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.

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That looks fucking disgusting.

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

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

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.

[–] tauren@lemm.ee 14 points 1 week ago

2 girls 1 british food

[–] kwedd@feddit.nl 11 points 1 week ago

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

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

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 😤

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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 1 week 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

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

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week 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.

[–] synicalx@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

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

[–] picklejar@lemmy.sdf.org 19 points 1 week ago

You child!

You're welcome.

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

That looks like the supper we had when the dole ran out.

[–] dan00@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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 ✌️
