    I'm pretty sure that would go from shitty to amazing to inedible just depending on the quantity of salt invovled

    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!"

    I would. It could be shit but there's a decent enough chance that it's actually good.

    It's pie mushy peas and gravy with chips and it's good. I swear half you fuckers who dunk on British food would balk at the majority of the things they eat around the rest of the world.

    Yes, nuke England with my blessings, the country fucking sucks, but stop dunking on working class food, especially because it is actually fucking tasty

      a sophisticated mac-n-cheese and mayo-on-crustless-white-bread eater when they see british chips and gravy: visible-disgust

        Americans slapping the same spice rub on every single thing upon seeing someone use herbs or even just consider what spices/sauces goes best with what they're preparing: Hehehe those people eat bland food.
        I get that it's a response to some movement in America where a bunch of white people find mayo spicy, but seriously the recipes I see people post... You're like those white dudes who buys those terrible hot sauces with artificially boosted capsaicin levels in order to prove something, but with spices.

          smoked paprika and garlic powder are so epic, but so is whatever is the Next Thing (in 2010 it was sriracha, in 2020 it was gochujang, now it's za'atar maybe? though that's too difficult to source for your average foodbro)

            I love smoked paprika. I prefer regular garlic, but to each their own. I don't put either in everything.
            I still have a bottle of extra hot sriracha and tbh the taste has worn off, or maybe they've changed the recipe. Kinda just tastes like ketchup, which I've never been a big fan of

      I will always maintain that American food is significantly worse than british food. Beans on toast is literally based vegan proletarian meal smdh

      Yes. People should stop being babies saying Ew to the concept of "gravy over something that isn't gravy".

    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.

    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.
