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

Nothing beats dutch style peanut sauce on fries

Personally when I lived in The Netherlands I was quite partial towards lots of mayo on my patates (chunky chips, only far more than merely just larger) rather than pindakaas saus, but patates are a hole different class than English-style chips (which is the same style as in most of Europe) which do gain from drizzling them with vinegar to offset the absorbed fat.

That's a grand name for it!

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Bloody splendid!

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

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

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

[–] don@lemmy.ca 96 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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

[–] Brosplosion@lemmy.zip 4 points 21 hours ago

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

Tf did this guy just call chips and pips?

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

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago

“I’ll have fries”

[–] lime@feddit.nu 43 points 1 day ago (15 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 1 day ago (4 children)

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

Like spaghetti for sauce

[–] xep@fedia.io 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 29 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 1 day 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.

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

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 7 points 1 day 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 21 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!
