Fun to play with, not to eat.
You're going to throw that at the opposing team, right? ... Right?
Those are the mushiest and brightest green peas I have ever seen. 🤢 Shit looks like lumpy, artificial guacamole dip.
that's because they're "mushy peas": peas that have been allowed to grow over ripe, sundried, rehydrated in water and baking soda, rinsed and then boiled. This removes all the natural coloring, making them grey, so then green food dye is added (E133 and E101).

Those look more like french fries than real chips.
But honestly, don't knock it til you've tried it. That's some pretty tasty food, and better than a number of dishes we have in America.
Chips in the UK are called crisps and fries are called chips.
Yeah, I know. I'm originally from the UK.
ETA: the 'chips' in that photo look too skinny to be real British chips IMO.
you're thinking of wide wibbly spuds

Just to note: we have fries here too.
Chips are thick, fries are referring to the thin ones (like in McDonalds). However they're still a form of chip so many just call them chips all the same.
does look a bit shit
The American equivalent is watching “football” whilst eating a boiled Pigs Anus in a plastic skin, accompanied by a beer that is essentially diluted water.
I know which I’d rather be doing

"Let's fry potatoes and make them nice and crispy only to dump a cup of slop on top of it to make them all soggy again. And vinegar for some reason"
Edit: Maybe they weren't even crispy to begin with, idk, not eating that shit
As an American: vinegar on fries is good, and we agree with them, Ketchup (#1 fry sauce) is vinegar and tomatoes!
The ones I had done "properly" by a Brit I knew came out nice and crispy, then you put a little vinegar on them, not a ton, and it lightly seasons them without getting too damp. Can also help with the heat if they're fresh
The peas? Disgusting and wrong
in that regard this isn't unlike poutine, and poutine is pretty beloved
