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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

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

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

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

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.

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

Most olives in supermarkets are like that.

Fuck yeahhh. Olive fetish.

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day 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!

As someone who loves olives and fries this looks delicious.
