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

[–] Milk_Sheikh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 2 weeks ago

Proper scran, that

[–] brem@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Tribbles and barn, say ye?

[–] don@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] ohshit604@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Hmm.. isn't hoser like an insult?

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

Oi, I'm but a simple socialist who once lived in a commune, residing in the world's newest fascistic regime! A few of us Yankees still read. I personally prefer to watch the beebs so I can keep up with current trends such as Cockney rhyming slang.

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

[–] Brosplosion@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

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

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 50 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 weeks ago

“I’ll have fries”

[–] lime@feddit.nu 44 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

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.

[–] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Most olives in supermarkets are like that.

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

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

Tf did this guy just call chips and pips?

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

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

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

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 27 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)
[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 2 points 2 weeks ago

I was just coming to the comments to mention that! I made it this last weekend. Fries are so good with feta cheese!

[–] vrojak@feddit.org 17 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

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

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

Nacho cheese or a good aioli and id eat that.

[–] Duranie@leminal.space 6 points 2 weeks ago

I vote for aioli!

[–] RedSnt@feddit.dk 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yeah, around here, nachos that you buy from the local pizzaria is pretty much this, just some sad moist chips with a clump of stiffened formerly hot cheese, olives and jalapeños.
And honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if a variant where the nachos are replaced with pommes frites already exists somewhere.

[–] brem@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Mayonnaise, probably.. would work for most Europeans.

For the Western hemisphere, hollandaise or Thousand Island. (Keep in mind, ketchup won't work well with the olives.)

Asia, you're gonna want a few extra things to build it up. Japan got it right with Umami, baby.

As someone who loves olives and fries this looks delicious.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

Dicks and holes

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's a grand name for it!

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

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 6 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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

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

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I thought nuts and bolts was chex mix with cheerios and pretzel sticks
