[–] Milk_Sheikh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 1 week ago

Proper scran, that

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

Tribbles and barn, say ye?

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

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

[–] ohshit604@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week 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 1 week ago

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

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

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

“I’ll have fries”

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 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week 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 1 week 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.

Tf did this guy just call chips and pips?

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

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

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.

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

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Nacho cheese or a good aioli and id eat that.

[–] Duranie@leminal.space 6 points 1 week ago

I vote for aioli!

Mayonnaise, probably.. would work for most Europeans.

For the Western hemisphere, hollandaise or Thousand Island. (Keep in mind, ketchup won't work well with the olives.)

Asia, you're gonna want a few extra things to build it up. Japan got it right with Umami, baby.

As someone who loves olives and fries this looks delicious.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

Dicks and holes

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's a grand name for it!

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Bloody splendid!

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

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

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

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

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

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago
