    Yeah. Potatoes + gravy is classic and I like how peas taste.
    I'd prefer to keep fries crispy for some texture, but whatever.

    So many of the people who dunk on food just reveal themselves to have the palette of a baby. "Ew I'm not used to this concept wah wah, give me the same thing I know I like that's safe" (this excludes my ND comrades)
    As if half the shit most people eat isn't just beige plates of grease and slop anyway.
    Try it and find out if it's good.
    Like the "beans on toast lmao" meme kinda frustrates me. Have you tried beans on toast? It's good.
    Dunking on Brits is a time-honored tradition but it gives some people weird brain worms were they actually believe the hyperbolic stuff we say to piss off brits.

    I like to make a sort of pea mush and serve it alongside some rice, salmon and a wild salad.

    In conclusion: NT picky eaters get sent to the gulag

      this looks like garbage but might actually taste good, and might be vegan. crispy potatoes in spiced goop is usually good. the classic chinese night market fare is wolftooth potatoes (slightly underdone wavy cut fries) in spicy gravy and pickled green beans. since i absolutely love that garbage, I would eat this anglo garbage.

      So many of the people who dunk on food just reveal themselves to have the palette of a baby.

      First bite i had of aforementioned wolftooth taters i thought "this is not great, the potatoes are not even soft and the sauce tastes sour and weird" but a few bites in you start to love it for just that. people need to try weird shit once in a while, and try it twice if they don't really like it first time around. aquired tastes have almost always become my favourites while simple things i enjoyed as a kid (ketchup, oven fries, lmayo etc) have taken their proper place as being just acceptable.

      adult baby palates (people with sensory issues aside) feel like the food version of adults that only read harry potter

        It's kinda infuriating how often people basically say something like "my [acquired taste] is objectively delicious, good and normal and your [acquired taste] is nasty, weird and disgusting!"
        Two short videos about acquired tastes that I found informative:
