The bag of sugar makes me think of a bag of plaster, and I hate bacon. How about a deep fried Mars bar? And yes, that is a chocolate bar with caramel that has been deep fried. Just add the chips!
Oh, cooked in food its fine, cos I don't know it's there, and like you say doesn't taste the same anyway. I'm not sure who this person was, but a toast sandwich is not a thing I recognise and certainly not native to the UK. The toasted sandwich, however, as pointed out by @flawed personality refers to a regular filled sandwich that's been toasted, often so that the edges of the toast become welded to form a sealed pocket.
I recently 'created' a sandwich where one slice is toasted, and the other isn't. I put butter on each slice, and runny honey as the filling. Yum!
Honey One of my favourite snacks is the peanut butter and jam sandwich. Thank you, America! Also, no one mentioned cheese with apple? Delicious.
I'm slightly disappointed that you passed up the opportunity to rhyme "yummy" and "tummy" after "runny honey" in your post. I'm not mad, just disappointed.
Onions, I hate the texture and the taste is so awful that I cannot swallow it for the life of me, it's like the back of my throat goes, 'nope!' and pushes it back. I tell people that they upset my gut to save myself from embarrassment.
I love 'em, especially raw, but they give me the shits. I didn't need to share that second part, did I?
Last night I 'rescued' dinner. I took the lamb meatballs out of my meatballs, tomatoes (chopped, tinned tomatoes) & pasta, had a nice tomato pasta (with some margarine mixed in); I put some chips in the oven (oven chips) and had those with the lamb meatballs.
Oh snap... IDK, but this year, Iceland (UK supermarket chain) are selling Christmas Tree flavoured crisps for £1.00 a bag. and, last year, I was the fool who Tesco sold Candy Cane flavoured crisps to; and to anyone who may wonder what a Crisp actually is, it's a Potato Chip. These are UK/British flavours of Potato Chips... Last Christmas, Christmas 2017, I first noticed the horrid And, as soon as I tried one, I had buyers remorse, this was disgusting.
@J - that's written anthropologist Egg and chips or chip and egg is a [archaic] household staple. You supplement it with a chip buttie on the side of the plate - and as you say chip shops sometimes provide them as a...mheh novelty like saveloy. Bread and butter with a couple of chips inside.
Here is a new horror stories with food. This friend of mine invited me to tag along with him to a BBQ that he was invited to. The guy hosting is a wannabe-Brit. He sits there in his short-shorts (where you practically see his sack) and sleeveless trying to sound like a high class Brit. Anyway, when I arrived I was under the impression, being what I had been told, that it was going to be a classic BBQ. Sausages, onions, chicken kebabs, etc... all on the barbie. When I got there, there was all this food, already prepared, but I was in for a surprise.... Ooh the atrocity. There was steak, the steak was well done. You do not do that to a steak. You are destroying a perfectly good piece of meat. The “onions” if you could still call them that had been fried with sugar. Why the hell would you put sugar on onion? Then the deserts........ never in my life have I seen something so atrocious. now the brits are typically considered to be the masters of terrible food (quite true), but at least they are usually given the credit of having decent sweets (like scones). Not this time. I am not a sweet tooth and most of it I would have disliked. But this was a special brand of bad. He put gelatine in the pudding and a lot of lemon juice in the whipped cream (why?) amongst a few other crimes against humanity Anyway. After the party me and my friend when to get fish and chips down at the corner store because his food at this so call BBQ was uneatable. I mean even his dogs where staying well clear of it.
Yep. Both. You're welcome! Since moving to the UK, I've also started making sandwiches with Branston Pickle and peanut butter. Very nice. Cheddar cheese and apple? I don't know why British people seem shocked. A ploughman's lunch usually has both of these ingredients. And many cheese boards offer apple slices as well. A great combination.
Holy mud. I don't shop at Tesco, but I do occasionally shop at Iceland. I didn't see these. Christmas TREE flavoured crisps? I'd be inclined to try them ...but prepared not to be impressed.
I got some raw chicken breasts on a special offer recently. I was excited to do an Asian/Mediterranean fusion dish with them and stowed them in the fridge ready for when I needed them. As usual, life got in the way and I returned to them one day after the use by date on the package and, yup, discovered that they had gone off. They are are now stinking to high heaven in the outside bin and collection is still 6 days away! The local neighbourhood dogs and cats have been trying to topple the bin as they love the smell emanating from it. I'm not making the mistake of giving into that, though, as the last time I retrieved and put rank food out for them, they pulled it apart and left most of it strewn everywhere, the driveway, the street and the garden. The stench caused passers by to cross the road; we were definitely the pariahs of the neighbourhood.
Sometimes honey, sometimes raisins, sometimes toasted sesame seeds. I have no idea what Branston Pickle is. I'm going to assume it's nothing like a dill pickle.
You assume rightly. Branston pickle is a relish, and very good, too. It tastes a lot like Worchestershire sauce, and is dark brown. Goes well with cheese, too. You can buy it in a more chopped-up form, which is better for sandwiches than the really chunky kind, which is more suited to a Ploughman's Lunch or cheese board. http://www.picturebritain.com/2013/02/branston-pickle.html
Oh man, I had a Ploughman's once in England. Great stuff, should be easy to reproduce but Japanese food culture is so different I have to substitute approximately everything ...
So it's kind of like a chutney. That's cool. I like chutney. Never had it with peanut butter, but I can't say I won't try it now.
