You're saying that like starchy carbs aren't nice.

My posts from pre-season and my trip to Wigan.

They're fine but you need a mixture of stuff to balance it out, that's the entire logic behind a pie in the first place. That looks like having a toast and potato sandwich.

A toast and potato sandwich wouldn't be nice though (unless the potatoes were chips). If you're talking about what you need anyway then you're having a salad with some nuts and seeds instead of the pie and chips in the first place. Some people eat for taste.

Roasting and eating a chicken with nothing else is still nice but a proper roast with potatoes/veg/gravy/yorkshires/whatever floats your boat is better. Isn't it? All the bits complement each other. All I see on that plate is dry, relatively flavourless bread and starch, there's no balance.

Fine if you like that kind of thing but it seems a pointless addition to me.

The inside of the pie is wet. If you're eating for balance then you're not eating chips anyway.

Only a mentalist calls it a barm cake. Its just a barm ya yuppie twat.

Three 'dry' to one 'wet', it's out of whack. If you're going to do that to your food you might as well move to Scotland and be done with it.

You don't have a pie barm with chips. You just have a pie barm. Dunno what's going on in that pic.

And the barm is heavily buttered so it's far from dry, especially when the insides of the pie oozes out. :drool:

Even pie and chips can become a bit death by stodge if the gravy isn't flowing, so yeah, lol at whatever that is.

I forgot you all put gravy on chips over there.

Certainly not.

I had it up your way before from a Chinese (gravy chips with peas and onions is almost your national dish at this stage) but that's better gravy than anything they serve up on the mainland. The English, especially north, seem mad for it though. You wouldn't really get it in Ireland, not even in a Chinese.

Chips and gravy from a Chinese? You shouldn't be allowed teeth.

I've only realised in the last year or so that I don't think I even have the same idea of what gravy is that northerners do.

There's not a chip shop or Chinese in Northern Ireland that doesn't sell gravy chips. You don't ask for the peas and onions either, you have to ask them to leave them out.

You'll actually see it on the list of sauces on a northy Chinese menu, meaning that it's a viable option on a chicken fried rice or anything.

I'd eat chips in gravy occasionally if that was the only allowed way to eat chips, but I don't really get why you'd choose you make something crispy soggy.

Any gravy worth a wank would be thick enough to barely soak into the chips, so that wouldn't be a problem.

The state of this.

Ken Loach is such a tiring cunt. Fuck him and his shit films.

Wide awake now as kid isn't well. Just what I need after an exhausting weekend and huge job tomorrow.

Edit: yes just what she needs as well I'm a terrible father etc

I think of gravy as a thin, flavoursome liquid you pour over roasts. Northerners seem to have this totally different concoction which tastes of shit, is packed out with flour, slides over its subject like flubber rather than mixing in, and forms the essential brown goo of the northern soul.

It's so fucking good. One of the few things I missed about back here when I lived over there.

I'm told you can get proper gravy up north in England though.

Yeah the gravy you put on your roast should be thinner (although not too thin) but you shouldn't be putting the thin stuff on chips.

There's a place for both.

Just packed with wrongness. The post, not gravy.

No doubt you have to call it jus anglais when recounting your embattled childhood to your smug new friends.

They have gravy as an option in most Chineses here too. No idea what Johns on about.

Same in Wales.

Ah they do chortle when I tell them about eating pot noodles and playing cricket on the street. They wonder at me like I'm some Dickensian character.

That, proper pork scratchings and Banks' Bitter.

Going to have all three this weekend, home sweet home.

Speaking about gravy is not inclusive to us non-brits you insensitive twats.

Fuck off then.

I emailed Peperami comparing their snacks to Trump and now they've replied asking for my email. I'm expecting the CIA at any moment.

In what way did you compare them?

Just said that they're orange and despite them being awful for you they're just so much fun.. They're sending me free Tex-Mex, fucking result.

I've google Peprami and I'm wondering why anyone would eat anything like that.

And their mascot or logo or whatever looks like an angry version of Mr Hanky.

Because as stated, they're delicious but horrific. A drug style snack. Filthy takeaway kebabs in stick form.

You had better be keeping a healthy, balanced diet, otherwise you're just ripping them off.

I'd be willing to bet that the Pepperami mascot thing pre-dates Mr Hankey.

I'm on about it being the worst possible thing you could buy from a Chinese. Of course it's an option, but the simple fact that it's available isn't a defence against buying it.

Yes.

I'm about to put a face mask on. :handbags:

The one near me does 'hot and sour soup' which I've never been brave enough to try but does sound worse than chips with what is essentially a sauce.
