Its vs it’s got me for a long time. I want to add the apostrophe because it’s possessive, but possessive pronouns are an exception and don’t need one. Think of his, hers, yours, theirs. All are possessive but don’t need the apostrophe.
Yeah, English has loads of absolutely mental rules that don’t make sense if you think about them, often for quite interesting historical reasons!
Pardon my French, you dirty removed.
It’s like the kid in that meme where both paths are dark. On one side is mashed peas and on the other is literal cooked snails.
Edit: accuracy, I don’t think you’d mix the mashed peas with beans at least
Both of those are quite nice if done well tbh
I don’t doubt it, but you’d need to do something incredible to mashed peas to make me prefer them that way over non-mashed (and not overcooked) peas seasoned with salt and pepper
Never tried the snails, maybe one day but I’ve never had the opportunity
You know they are a different type of pea (marrowfat), right? Mushy peas aren’t made with mashed garden peas.
Snails are nice, they are usually cooked in garlic butter so if you like that you’ll enjoy them!
That’s good to know on both dishes. I didn’t know mushy peas were made with a different kind, and from what other commenters said the snails might actually not be that bad. Certainly no less strange than eating
ocean bugslobster or crab if you really think about it.If I’m ever in an opportunity to try either I’d definitely give them a go at least once. My initial comment was, while uneducated, mostly a light riff on the local cuisines. I feel like I maybe should have deleted it when I saw it was to a UK-specific sub, but I guess it turned into a learning experience so it’s not all bad in hindsight!
To be honest, if you’re in a chippy and you only have a chance to have one side with your food you should get curry sauce instead of mushy peas, it’s the best!
You definitely shouldn’t have deleted it, nobody is going to take offence at a joke about food. Just wouldn’t want you to miss out!
Its actually really good, and really fatty for some reason. Served with red garlic and parsley, it tastes like meaty butter, or (slightly softer though) octopus without the fishy taste.
But of course it has to be fresh.
mashed peas
Do you mean mushy peas, love?
There’s a lot in British Cuisine that I would skip, but I could really go for some fish and chips.
When I worked in france the cafeteria called it “fish and ships”
The French just can’t help but be terrible people.
