Mushy peas did at least start out as a vegetable.
Allegedly. That's before they submerged them in melted green crayon.
Oh right, I forgot those exist.
Why don't they count as veg?
Also, if you want to sell birroa tacos, do you have to serve with carrots now? If you sell hot dogs you also have to serve with whole decorative compliance onions?
Maybe they're regarded as 'ultra-processed'. Like a lot plant-based meals in supermarkets aren't actually any healthier than the thing they're replacing, because they've had the shit kicked out of them by the industrial process.
So that's not more or less how they're made for a chippy?
Ideally, I suppose. But maybe they boil them like my Gran used to boil veg - until there's barely any nutrition left in them. And then add artificial colours and preservatives and whatnot. It's like if you make bread at home, then it's reasonably healthy, but it's difficult to buy bread that isn't essentially junk food, because they'll do anything to make the rise process quicker (including throwing in a bunch of sugar).
