This is at a restaurant. Someone paid money for cheese and raw onion on bread. What are we doing here?

Probably drinking first and eating secondarily

There’s not enough booze in the world to make me rawdog an onion like this.

Raw onion on a deli sandwich is great, but maybe not quite so much...

Funny. We Iranians almost always eat raw onions alongside food, but everyone in the west seems to hate them unless it's dripping with 6 liters of frying oil

Pubs aren't restaurants. If your pub has menus on the table after 7pm it's not a pub. It might be a bar, depends how much they're persuading people a pint of shite lager should cost.

How do you feel about gastropubs?

That's a pub not a restaurant

Is it a place where you can exchange money for food while you sit down at a table? Semantics.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yes, you're right. All these words are equal. It's a pizzaria. A caffeteria maybe. Some might call it a bistro. Or a cafe. Perhaps a coffee shop or a burger joint. Quibbling over distinctions here would be semantics.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's almost like these different words to differentiate between the locations that offer varying services, you nonce.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (3 children)

It's like that was my original point or something you twerp

It's the same damn thing

There's only so many words in the English language for "a place you can get a meal at", you wanna go over em all?

And yes I've been to actual midcountry pubs, they're bars with good dining space usually situated in a village so people can walk there. They often have playgrounds, fuckin, somehow.

Gotta put the kids somewhere

They're absolutely not. A pub primarily sells beer, salted peanuts, and if they're feeling fancy, a bread roll with stuff in it. A restaurant sells meals with plates and cutlery and has one or two crap lagers available. A gastropub does food and beer but both are crap and are twice as expensive.

If you're in an actual real pub, have had a handful of pints, this food is perfect, and ideally costs less than half a pint.

This whole thread feels like that food court argument from Mall Rats, and I'm here for it.

Looks drier than Ben Shaprio's wife. Jesus Christ, man... Couldn't you lube it up with some condiments or something? This criminal act you call a sandwich should come with a choking hazard label.

I'm absolutely going to steal and search for a reason to use that first line

You misspelled "delicious."

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

No they didn't.

My life is somewhat like the cheese section of a European supermarket. One half is moldy and the other half is not affordable for me.

Europe: "terrorized and colonized the world to get spices" Also Europe: "serves up absolute disgusting food like this"

What the fuck was it all for?!?!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

UK isn't Europe it's just some shitty island

Slap in some mayo and it looks like a pretty decent lunch. 🤷

Throw it in a grill and it's much better.

Is there a reason they couldn't heat any of that up?

My ancestors trail recipes are more varied than this, and half of them are just normal foods with chili poured over it. Why are you like this England actual cavemen had more varried foods, at least chop up the onion a bit more and grill the whole thing.

Just the good people of the Blur Boar Pub doing god's work, steadily battling shrinkflation one cob at a time. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/leicester-news/leicester-pub-goes-viral-gargantuan-9596401

"A Leicester city centre pub has gone viral online on account of its humongous cheese and onion cobs. The manager of The Blue Boar pub on Millstone Lane, Jo Kearley, said they get comments “every single day” on their gargantuan size, but admits that they can’t now start making them smaller. She said: “We don’t want to be labelled with the whole ‘shrinkflation’ thing. Our sort-of saying is that we aren’t ‘just a cob shop’, we also sell beer.”

I dunno... that looks like a nice simple sandwich.

No one was putting that much cheese on a ploughman's during the war.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

I absolutely love a good ploughman's and the lack of effort in this one feels like a personal insult towards me
