      It’s mashed green peas. This is a British dish called chips and mushy peas.

          Chips are cooked in too much low quality oil, they immediately wrap the chips in lots of paper which conceals moisture and renders the chips soggy, the English love that though. The worst of it imo is something called “chip butty” which is just chips in a “barm” which is just a bun and then they pour a bunch of sauce on top of the chips whether it be gravy, curry, or mushy pae. Absolutely shocking food but it was cheap like 1£ and when you’re in high school and starving it’s not bad

              Peanut butter is so good and I remain gobsmacked it hasn’t conquered the world. What do you mean you don’t want a rich savory spread full of protein and good plant fats that you can make anywhere with an oven and some kind of grinder?!?

              If I had cooking energy I’ve been thinking a lot about making peanutbutter with savory spices, especially cardamom for some reason.

                  I can’t honestly remember the taste very well either.

                  And yeah I love that PB is so absurdly calorie dense. I have been “eat peanutbutter out of a jar with a spoon” depressed many times and it’s very good when you’re that badly off, but it’s also good for just throwing in the back of a car when you need to drive for twenty hours and don’t want to pay gas station food prices, or for sticking in the bottom of your backpack if you’re going to be in the woods for a week and want emergency food that doesn’t need to cook. And it’s shelf stable, especially the store brands, and lasts forever.

                  It’s not the perfect food but it might be the perfect food.

            okay you lost me with the mushy fries. If they were like regular slightly crispy fries I would be all over it. I’d still probably enjoy it but you gotta have the contrast in texture to really make it good imo.

    Yeah I would, if someone gave it to me. Probably better than it looks. Not what I’d make for myself though.

    Also I’d have to eat it fast before the fries got soggy. Formerly crispy food becoming soggy grosses me out for some reason.

    I’m not picky & it’s clearly submerged in gravy so I’d go hog-mode. However if I were pressed ganged to ingerland i think i’d want to try kebab first to see if they do it right

    this looks like as awful a textural experience as creamed corn plus the gross shit is covering a portion of the chips/fries, so that’s a hard pass from me.

    yeah probably

    it appears to be chips, gravy and peas which, as much as we can say “lol angloids”, probably fucking slaps and would delete a hangover instantly

      Yeah everyone dunking on this has clearly never had gravy fries and the peas actually is a genius addition. I would definitely devour that.

    My first thoughts were that I’d never seen fries look that unappetizing- but apparently mushy peas are a thing and I’d probably have to at least try them before writing it off entirely. I’d try anything (or most things anyways, there are some things even beyond me) once.
