Has to be Vlaamse friet as in the chunky Belgian style ones. They are boss. 

Where do you stand on a frites special with onions and that tomato curry sauce(?), mayo and funny sausage thing? 

 

Have to admit, it’s a guilty pleasure

Chips.

Malt vinegar bit of salt.

 

Why is this even a discussion?

 

Mushy peas however are evil; never understood mashing a pea. I get that chasing the circular little green fuckers around a plate is annoying but no need to mash them into a consistency of a dog turd.

 

There's not enough rep in the World for this.

Poutine has been bastadized it used to be a delicacy now the hipsters put pulled pork and chicken and hot dogs and all sorts if nonsense on it.

 

The gravy and cheese curds are what makes the poutine. 95% of poutines are made with Industrial based powder gravy and shit cheese curds.

 

Not a huge poutine fan though, its like our equivalent of a 2am kebab. But done right (gravy thick and from scratch, Bothwell, St Albert or Balderson cheese curds- white never yellow/orange) and thick cut fries (ie- chips) it can be delicious. 

 

Many a Canadian has woken up next morning with gravy stains on their shirt.

Mushy peas turn your brain to mush.

 

if someone sent you out to the supermarket for a tin of mushy peas and they were out you could go to the baby food isle and buy ten jars of

peas and it’d be the same thing.

 

First time ever that you've disappointed me, NP. Well, maybe second if you nclude the seal clubbing. But this? This is worse than the seal clubbing.

 

Now if you were talking garden peas or processed peas we'd be on the same page. But mushy peas are ace.

Well we never serve peas with seal.

 

To be fair the Newfoundlanders who were all clubbing seals went out to Alberta to work in the tar sands. Mind you we can't get a pipeline built to export all that dirty oil so they may be heading back..... and those fucking seals had a voraciuos appetite for cod.

Remember first time in a Scottish chippy nearly getting thrown out for daring to ask for fried rice. I was told to ‘fuck off to the Chinkies for that shite’

I thought all chippies were like Liverpool ones. One thing I miss, even more than the unmentionable sport.

How come the chippies in Liverpool sell the rice & stuff, is it because Chinese people set up the chippies?

 

A lot of the chippies in Scotland were started by Italian families so asking them for rice would be a bit like going into a Chinese restaurant for a pizza.

So there's no cultural reason for it, it's just convenience/business?

 

Genuine question as I thought there might've been some historical quirk that caused it to be like that.
