I've never mixed chips with peas, but it does sound good. Mashed potatoes with peas are great, so there's no reason chips with peas would be a lesser dish.
Come on, you're far worse than the Brits when it comes to grammar. The American Revolution did not save you from a missing comma.
I'm having an aneurysm trying to find out where you think a comma needs to go.
After the chips, I guess?
Think of it as Poutine with peas I guess. So thanks French cooking! I guess.
This is what I look forward to, is it?
(Actually, I'd eat it...)
Screaming carbs
They really do be eating like the Germans are still flying overhead
Britain is the only country who improved their cuisine with war rations.

That 100% tastes banging.
Those "chips" don't even look fully cooked I bet they soggy af
As far as my knowledge and experience tells me a chip will only brown in a deep fat fryer once the oil absorbs carbon. Brand new fresh oil does not change the colour of food. I’d suggest that the chips may well be crisp - but the optic suggests not.
Okay, it ain't for everyone.
But, you never have peas and mashed potatoes, then have them get mixed up with some gravy? It's delicious, even if the peas are canned.
Chips/fries just add extra texture to the basic idea, with a little of that brown goodness frying causes.
Shit, I could pan roast some peas, make some nice brown gravy, and do up some camp fries, throw it down and nobody would complain once they ate some. It's the execution in the pic that makes it look yucky. Not saying the texture of what's in the pic is ideal, but it's not going to be worse than smashed potatoes and gravy. The peas being mushy is a thing that not everyone likes, but it isn't going to be a problem with the fries giving some tooth to it.
I'd at least try the version in the pic because the basic flavor combo is a sure bet.
Sprouts and mashed potatoes are also terrific.
Mushy peas are boiled marrowfat peas, which have a completely different taste and texture to mashed garden peas.
They're delicious though, and very filling, especially served with chips or other carbs.
The first bite is with the eye. Britain is blind af.
Listen it's alright mate. We understand why Britain had to invade nearly every country on Earth in search of food with some flavor, you don't need to go and make that point for us.

I just don't understand the point of mushy peas. I've had them three times and each time every other component of the meal was better. It's not like they're there for their texture. I guess if you're a new parent and you run out of baby food it's convenient to be able to run out to the local chippie and get some.
Think of mushy peas like British hummus. It's literally just mashed up beans and you can dress it up however you like.
I like mushy peas on toast with sliced tomato, salt and pepper and a drizzle of toasted sesame oil.
- The peas honestly need to be Marrowfat peas, it makes a difference
- Add lard or beef drippings
- Avoid the premade trash most pubs (and restaurants) serve.
But even so, it’s still pretty mid imo. Just like grits in the southern US; yes I will eat it if served as such, no I won’t pay for it.
I'd have to be starving to eat grits. Rivaled by okra for worst southern cuisine.
At least the south gave us biscuits and gravy.

I'm not sure the nation that birthed forth the quesarito upon the world was really saved from anything.
I see you are jealous of our superior American constitutions, which allows us to just barely cling to life no matter what concoctions we torment our arteries with
The superior American digestion maybe, but I think the value of the American constitution is all too clear these days.
hol up, that's TOO real, you're makin' me sad
Improper quesarito slander.

Ngl it looks pungent in that pic but that food is hella tasty. I lived a couple years in the UK and learnt to love it.
(Yes my french mother would guillotine me for saying this).
Fyi Paul Revere didn't even do the his whole ride, he got cold and went home.
Instead a iirc 16yr old girl completed her whole ride and gets basically zero credit, like she got a statue but no actual note in any regular school history book.

Vile. Texture hell. At least make the fries crisp
What fries? I only see beefy, masculine, imperial chips.
It's always the limp soggy fries that really get me
Perhaps when President Musk and First Lady McDonald take power in a few days they can liberate us from this terrible fate with imports of nutritious hotdogs, Twinkies, chlorinated chicken and steroid beef.
