That's a grand name for it!

Whilst I have no idea what this is, the British practice of putting vinager on one's chips yields surprisingly good results.

Throw a dried fish on top and some Swede would post it to foodporn

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 hours ago

I dunno, "some shit" is a better name.

[–] frozenpopsicle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 hours ago

Fuck yeahhh. Olive fetish.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 35 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Tf did this guy just call chips and pips?

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Is that real? I love potatoes and I love olives, if this is a legit dish I'll try it!

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 6 points 15 hours ago

no it's not real

[–] don@lemmy.ca 81 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Mate. It’s called pribbles and tarn, you dunce.

[–] Milk_Sheikh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 22 hours ago

Proper scran, that

That's more like it. "Nuts and bolts" makes way too much sense to be an actual British name.

[–] Brosplosion@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 hours ago

Nuts and bolts sounds more like cockney rhyming slang for an electrical outlet. 230 volts -> bolts -> nuts and bolts

[–] brem@lemmy.world 14 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Tribbles and barn, say ye?

[–] don@lemmy.ca 17 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Oh just great, another fokkin’ scouser. Just what we need.

[–] ohshit604@sh.itjust.works 6 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Canadians got Hosers and Britains got Scousers, who would’ve thunk it!

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

Hmm.. isn't hoser like an insult?

Some people might use Scouser as an insult, but it's just people from Liverpool.

black olives from pizza places are usually not actually black; they're green olives that have been chemically treated to oxidise quicker.

...which is presumably why they usually taste like o-rings.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Are black-treated green olives cheaper than black olives or what?

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 27 minutes ago

i think so, actual black olives aren't very popular so they're harder to get

[–] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 13 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

That might explain why i hate them so much even though i love all other olives

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

That might explain why I only ever get the texture from olives on pizza...which is....actually still ok with me. Flavorless for sure but yum olive texture

[–] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 11 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Most olives in supermarkets are like that.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I believe thats any black olive thats not the wrinkly ones.

He said “I love fries.” and got misheard.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 8 points 21 hours ago

“I’ll have fries”

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly, I'd eat this... I usually think British food is disgusting, but they have me with this one.

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

This would not be a common British food, no. I'm curious what British food you don't like though?

Americans don't have a good enough drinking culture to appreciate British food.

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 1 points 2 hours ago

You ain't never had an ice coooool budweiser with some gas station tornados... and it shows. Ain't never even thought about a Mcflurry Mcdouble, or you'd have already transcended... into heart failure. Let freeeeedom ring mofukr!

Like spaghetti for sauce

[–] xep@fedia.io 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Some cheese on top of that and you have a feast.

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Feta and tzatziki or skordalia, squeeze a lemon on it. Now it’s Greek Poutine.

Looks kinda dry but with some sauce this actually would be great fast food

[–] ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 hours ago

Some garlicky gravy-adjacent sauce and maybe something like chili flakes and I’d eat that with zero hesitation.

Even if these look like the abhorrent “olives” that are surely the leading cause of people thinking olives are disgusting. If these were freshly sliced regular brown olives (regular to me in the Mediterranean) they wouldn’t even need sauce at all. Although the chili flakes can stay.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 11 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Nacho cheese or a good aioli and id eat that.

[–] Duranie@leminal.space 6 points 23 hours ago

I vote for aioli!

We just call it cheesy chips with gravy.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 18 hours ago

As someone who loves olives and fries this looks delicious.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago
