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

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 37 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago (1 children)

it just not feeling cute right now 🥹

It turns like that right before being photographed

[–] possiblyaperson@sh.itjust.works 66 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 45 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

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

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

Luv me mushy peas, simple as

The £ is a bit of a giveaway.

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 26 points 2 weeks 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 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Spezi 10 points 2 weeks ago

Why do you hate dogs?

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 38 points 2 weeks ago

Is this what yall think poutine looks like?!?

Canadadians, shield your eyes!!!

[–] Ghostwurm@lemmy.ca 33 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] cattywampas@lemm.ee 33 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

No, you're thinking of our grammar.

[–] BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 weeks 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?

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 14 points 2 weeks ago

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 2 weeks ago

2 girls 1 british food

[–] kwedd@feddit.nl 11 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (4 children)

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

[–] picklejar@lemmy.sdf.org 19 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Beans. They make Lemmy work.
