Still better than actual British cuisine

Using Pringles as a tuna scoop isn’t a bad idea, actually

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 years ago

Mix the tuna with some mayo, add a bit of chives and siracha in the mix if you are feeling fancy and it makes a decent snack.

[–] snugglesthefalse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm sure it would be... if tuna wasn't the most disgusting fish imaginable :(

[–] Kage520@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Tuna is good. Canned tuna, however, needs like a bucket of mayo to make it not dry and terrible. Then it's delicious fish flavored mayo.

blinks

canned......

tea?

Arizona is really just tea flavoured sugar water but it's cheap AF so everyone (including me) drinks it anyways

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago

Cheaper than water in many places still.

[–] bl_r@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago

A corner store near my college occasionally had 4 cans for $2. I’d stock up for weeks at a time when that happened, and I got a sick finger workout carrying a ton of paper bags full of them home

They don’t taste great, but for less than a dollar a can? 100% worth it

[–] shikogo@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Funny, cause in Germany it's pretty expensive and considered somewhat of a premium product.

Tea is just tea flavored sugar water.

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

Nah, I drink my hot leaf juice without sugar, thank you.

[–] oatscoop@midwest.social 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

It's just as good as "real" tea, provided you serve it hot by putting it in a mug and microwaving it.

A packet of non-dairy creamer and you have real English tea!

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago

who hurt you :(

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have noticed that British fantasy authors (Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and you-know-who) tend to describe wonderful meals, so I think that tells us something about Bri'ish cuisine. For them, good food apparently is just as fantastical as talking animals and wizards.

[–] Sigh_Bafanada@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Though have you seen just how many food descriptions are in ASOIAF (Game of Thrones books)? GRR Martin loves a good food description.

[–] PM_ME_FEET_PICS@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Have you seen GRRM? He loves a good food.

[–] DJDarren@thelemmy.club 19 points 2 years ago

drops monacle

My word!

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I guess that's one way to declare war with Britain...

[–] activ8r@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

We have already colonised OP's house and liberated his possessions for the British Museum.

[–] PM_ME_FEET_PICS@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago

Looks like one of the plastic cups they give to people is psychwards. Checks out.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I have had this precise meal many times in college. Luxurious, but not a succulent Chinese meal.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

This...is democracy manifest!

[–] blendedracer@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We (Aussies from Melbourne) tried to find decent Chinese food in England and gave up. Most of it was worse than Australian Chinese from the 1970's! The Indian and Turkish restaurants however, were amazing.

[–] Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Decent...but not succulent for sure!

[–] STUPIDVIPGUY@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

looks absolutely delectable

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

That's the gourmet version with all that stuff from the colonies.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago

Technically correct, therefore, unquestionable.

[–] iterable@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Heat up the tea add milk. Break up the crisps in a bowl with the tuna. Give a good mix add some olive oil. Season to liking and is just fine.

[–] pedro@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pringles are from Belgium I think

[–] mriormro@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

A lot of people don't know this but manifest destiny also covers delicious, salty snacks from the rest of the world.

[–] stagen 2 points 2 years ago

I'd eat that! I love tuna!

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

No, that's fish and crisps.
