They really do be eating like the Germans are still flying overhead
Britain is the only country who improved their cuisine with war rations.
It’s like poutine, but with peas instead of the best part
You ever had a samosa though?
I love samosas. Smack some chutney on these fries and I may be on board
Okay, it ain’t for everyone.
But, you never have peas and mashed potatoes, then have them get mixed up with some gravy? It’s delicious, even if the peas are canned.
Chips/fries just add extra texture to the basic idea, with a little of that brown goodness frying causes.
Shit, I could pan roast some peas, make some nice brown gravy, and do up some camp fries, throw it down and nobody would complain once they ate some. It’s the execution in the pic that makes it look yucky. Not saying the texture of what’s in the pic is ideal, but it’s not going to be worse than smashed potatoes and gravy. The peas being mushy is a thing that not everyone likes, but it isn’t going to be a problem with the fries giving some tooth to it.
I’d at least try the version in the pic because the basic flavor combo is a sure bet.
The first bite is with the eye. Britain is blind af.
Listen it’s alright mate. We understand why Britain had to invade nearly every country on Earth in search of food with some flavor, you don’t need to go and make that point for us.
Well, since we threw their damn tea in the ocean, our culinary might has grown here in the US.
Sprouts and mashed potatoes are also terrific.
Fyi Paul Revere didn’t even do the his whole ride, he got cold and went home.
Instead a iirc 16yr old girl completed her whole ride and gets basically zero credit, like she got a statue but no actual note in any regular school history book.
If memory serves, Paul Revere only got credit because his name was easier to rhyme with.
It’s because he was a he and she was a she, Ludington is a pretty rhyme able name.
And William Dawes, Samuel Prescott, and Israel Bissell faded into obscurity as well, any idea why?
No they didn’t?
The dawes family is still very powerful.
Prescott is presumed to have died in prison as a pow.
Bissell Wasn’t hugely influential after, no but he’s mentioned in most school history books I’ve seen. Ludington just isn’t and that’s ignoring the whole “the British are coming” thing that’s at least portrayed as being factual.
Idk I’d never heard of any of them except Paul Revere.
Maybe they were mentioned one time in a class in 5th grade or something but Revere was constantly referenced.
That’s sorta my point, there were 5 and the most famous is the one that snitched and completed the least amount of a ride.
Oh I thought your point was one was forgotten because of their gender.
Where did you learn that?
History books?
What do you believe I’ve said that isn’t factual.
What history books? I’ve never heard of this before, despite going through pre and post civil war American history classes in college, and watching tons of history and discovery channel programming back when they were actually good networks.
What do you believe I’ve said that isn’t factual.
I’m wondering about your source because of what I said above. I didn’t imply you were wrong, I merely asked a question.
Yes the source for which part?
Mrs Ludington has a wiki.
Paul Revere has a wiki which also states he was captured, snitched and then returned to home.
Revere walked to Rev. Jonas Clarke’s house, where Hancock and Adams were staying.
There’s some amount of dispute about of the towns already knew.
So…. UK nachos?
Thank God for Mexico
Those look more like french fries than real chips.
But honestly, don’t knock it til you’ve tried it. That’s some pretty tasty food, and better than a number of dishes we have in America.
Chips in the UK are called crisps and fries are called chips.
Yeah, I know. I’m originally from the UK.
ETA: the ‘chips’ in that photo look too skinny to be real British chips IMO.
Ah fair, I am not from the UK but a rugby mate of mine passed some UK culture on and tried to teach us how to speak “the Queen’s English”
Just to note: we have fries here too.
Chips are thick, fries are referring to the thin ones (like in McDonalds). However they’re still a form of chip so many just call them chips all the same.
Perhaps when President Musk and First Lady McDonald take power in a few days they can liberate us from this terrible fate with imports of nutritious hotdogs, Twinkies, chlorinated chicken and steroid beef.
Vile. Texture hell. At least make the fries crisp
It’s always the limp soggy fries that really get me
What fries? I only see beefy, masculine, imperial chips.
If this shit ever becomes mandatory I will take up arms.
I was in the UK for six days and if I learnt one thing there it was that the British like their food soggy and mushy.
does look a bit shit
This is what I look forward to, is it?
(Actually, I’d eat it…)
Come on, you’re far worse than the Brits when it comes to grammar. The American Revolution did not save you from a missing comma.
I’ve never mixed chips with peas, but it does sound good. Mashed potatoes with peas are great, so there’s no reason chips with peas would be a lesser dish.
Screaming carbs
