One review:
"Whoa, whoa, whoa Paula. This is really complicated for me. Now...A half stick of butter? See, this is why I'l never be as good of a cook as you. As I was cutting the butter I had no idea that my friend was using the Necronomicon in the other room. As I did I unleashed an old God into that stick of butter. I morphed into a terrible butter demon of 1,000 horrors. Thinking quickly I used it's only weakness against it...a heated butter knife. I sliced at the creature and it screams echoed like the wail of millions of banshee's.
I then used the remains with the peas and it tasted delicious.
Thanks, but next time I'll have to check and see what my friends were doing."
That's awesome.
What's with all the boiled food? Don't they have grills on the other side of the pond?
huzzah!
OMMMMMnomnomnomnom!!!!
What's with all the boiled food? Don't they have grills on the other side of the pond?They prefer the term "barbie."
Barbie ..... Is more of an Australian term.
Look up Chip butty.

Because something is broken?
Because you've left it on the window ledge on a sunny day?Bitter and other flavoursome ales are not served warm, they are correctly served below room temperature.
However, they are not heavily chilled in the way that lagers often are.
It would be a waste to take something with the rich, complex flavours of Old Tom, Mr. Chubbs Lunchtime Bitter or Samuel Smith's Taddy Porter and make it so cold that those rich, complex flavours were disguised.

Flavors? Pfft. Americans aren't looking for flavor, we want a really cheap, really cold pitcher of beer. And another. And another...and another. Basically, we just want to be drunk.

Whoa now there young lad! Speak for yourself. As a homebrewer and general beer aficionado, I most certainly do not resemble that remark. Nor do many people I know. The fact is, that for the last 15 or so years, the number of craftbrewers in this country had been growing for a reason.

So arguably the temperature shouldn't matter.
Whoa dudes! Shrooms are, like, really cool for a diet. Groovy even.

I can't remember the last time I've laughed so hard for so long.

Stop ruining my humorous play on national stereotypes.

You'd think, but bad beer just goes down better cold for some reason. Just like bad coffee is easier to drink while still hot.
I have to ask, and please do not throw things at me. There are such things as "good" beer and "good" coffee?You'd think, but bad beer just goes down better cold for some reason. Just like bad coffee is easier to drink while still hot.

As for beer, I'm only going by what people tell me, because I don't like it. As for coffee, oh yes, there is good coffee. There's even great coffee.

As for beer, yes, there is good and bad too.
As for "English" peas, I have to confess I've never had them, so I question their Englishness. Anyway, you want scary English peas, look up the recipe for mushy peas.

I had a debate once about which of the foods in the chip shop seems to contain the least actual food.
Pickled eggs clearly are food, after a fashion, and pukka pies just about pass so it came down to a debate between chippy mushy pes and chippy curry sauce.|

There are even competitions and awards to decide which is the very best beer.
Even if you never stray away from lager there is a world of difference in flavour between Fosters and Kasetel Cru.
There is such a difference that the good stuff even has advocacy groups.

You already knew I did not care for beer. I drink coffee about as often as beer. Almost never. Maybe I have just not had a "good" version of either. It is always possible.

A chip shop is the famous British fish & chip shop (shoppe?), although I think you can usually get burgers there too.

I don't like green peas at all, so Ewwww +1. I do like black-eyed peas though, and I've heard fried black-eyed peas are full of awesome. Poutine (Canadian: fries + gravy + cheese) sounds kinda tasty too.
Wiki says Pukka Pies are a line of meat-based pies.

Sweet Junes pees are awesome.
love me some black eye pees, not the group, the food. Not too keen on fried black eyed pees, too much of a good thing.
Pukka Pies actually look good, I don't care for the idea even of kidney, with or without the steak but the Chicken and Mushroom sounds yummy.
Poutine is rather good, if a heart attack waiting to happen.

Some places might do burgers or kebabs but the classic companion to your chips is either battered fish (cod in the south, haddock in the north) or a battered sausage.
British chips are thicker than American fries (as far as I can tell) and are served with salt & malt vinegar. They are usually dipped in tomato ketchup or a sauce called brown sauce (most famously, HP Sauce).
Fish and Chip shops (Chippies) often serve some other supplementary stuff: meat pies, other things in batter (pineapple rings, lumps of cod roe and sometimes comedy stuff like mars chocolate bars), curry sauce (a strange piquant sauce only available in chip shops), mushy peas, pickled eggs...
The classic way to serve fish and chips is wrapped in old newspaper but most places now use a slightly tougher paper that doesn't dissolve so much under the effects of hot fat, salt and vinegar and doesn't cover your fingers in ink. Some fancy chippies use cardboard boxes or serve it on a plate - which is very infra dig.
I live in a rural village so we have no chip shop but a van goes around the villages and it stops at our village on Saturdays, so people aound here often have them as a Saturday treat.

American Fries, most often called French fries come in a huge variety of styles and sizes. Everything from the small shoe string fries, crinkles fries, potato wedges (which I think are close to the same size as your chips) and steak fries.
