[–] Milk_Sheikh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 4 days ago

Proper scran, that

[–] brem@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Tribbles and barn, say ye?

[–] don@lemmy.ca 21 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] ohshit604@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Hmm.. isn't hoser like an insult?

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

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

[–] Brosplosion@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 days ago

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

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 43 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Tf did this guy just call chips and pips?

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

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

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

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 9 points 4 days ago

“I’ll have fries”

[–] lime@feddit.nu 44 points 4 days ago (12 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 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] zod000@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

The texture of canned "black olives" isn't really all that different from most types, but they have a much weaker flavor because they are processed in a matter of days instead of weeks/months/years of the alternative methods. Those longer methods, usually some combinations of brine and/or fermenting are where most of that flavor comes from. I only know this because I had a grand idea to try to grow my own olives and I looked into it and realized I wasn't ever going to end up with my own that resembled stuff from the store. This is just more random info hiding in my brain instead of things that would be useful on a daily basis.

Most olives in supermarkets are like that.

Like spaghetti for sauce

[–] xep@fedia.io 32 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago

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

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

That's a grand name for it!

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Bloody splendid!

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

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

[–] vrojak@feddit.org 18 points 4 days ago (4 children)

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

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago (8 children)

[–] Duranie@leminal.space 6 points 4 days ago

I vote for aioli!

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

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 days ago

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

[–] Dindonmasker@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 days ago

As someone who loves olives and fries this looks delicious.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 days ago

Dicks and holes

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days 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 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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