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

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

    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?!

      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

    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 😤

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

    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.

    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.

      people just love to hate germanic food in general, all “no spices!” as if salt isn’t a spice and onions have no flavour…

      the thing is just that germanic food tends to be quite “simple”: some meat, some carbs, a sauce, some vegetables maybe. Yeah it’s generally very same-y but that’s because it fucking works.

        We didn’t just steal the spices, we stole the cooks too. Eg, our first curry house was 1810, run by a Bengali chap. So we didn’t piss about with traditonal English dishes to get our spice fix, we just went out for a ruby instead.

      my only complaint is that the chips look dreadfully underdone, they should be way darker

      but hey what do i know, maybe brits just like fries that are still raw in the middle…

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

        Only good peas I’ve ever had were raw fresh off the vine. ENTIRLEY different texture and taste, juicy and crispy, vs bland and mushy. Whoever decided we need to start cooking them deserves the lack of love in their life.
