I would destroy any of those right now, so hungee. But I'd trade them all for a trip to Khan's.
@ColesStreetPothole @Janet_52square @helplessduck LOL now I have to go look up "chip butty"
@ColesStreetPothole @Janet_52square @helplessduck Oooh, I'd eat that, LOL. With malt vinegar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip_butty

ambrosia
Also, and this is truly a blast from the 70s, poor kids, meal playbook.
A salad cream sandwich - truly disgusting.
2 slices of thin, processed white bread, with heinz salad cream spread on it.
Additionally, the person 'eating' it should squidge the sandwich down to a thin doughy wafer

I love how post to poke fun at a UK award has just become a roast of British food.

If you're going to try beans on toast, get the UK Heinz beans (World Market, Indian stores) as they have less sugar than the US version. Also, make it Marmite toast.
Both of these are pretty good.

True, but beans on Marmite toast...
Ooh.. umm.. idk. That's a LOT of flavor...
@godzero @ColesStreetPothole @Paperposts @ai6yr @Janet_52square @helplessduck
@godzero @dogfox @Paperposts @ai6yr @Janet_52square @helplessduck
Yes to the UK Heinz; not sure about that Marmite. Just can't do that.
@ColesStreetPothole @dogfox @Paperposts @ai6yr @Janet_52square @helplessduck
May your lack of gods go with you!
@godzero @dogfox @Paperposts @ai6yr @Janet_52square @helplessduck Mom tried a lot of stuff on us when we were young. Marmite was I think the only thing were I was like NOPE.

OMG I just informed my large adult son what a chip butty was, and he said 'This is a meal invented by a toddler!" I have to agree.
@ColesStreetPothole @dogfox @Paperposts @ai6yr @Janet_52square @helplessduck
I was told it was a Liverpool thing but it might well have been a Scouse toddler for all I know.

A chip butty is a universal British dish, but round here (Greater Manchester/Lancashire) it's a chip barm - a barm, or barmcake is a bread roll. I love that I live in a country that has about a hundred different local names for a bread roll.
Another local speciality is the Pie Barm. A meat pie, (often also containing potato), in a barm. We like our carbs.

Around here, the kaiser/kimmelweck roll has similar status—your bacon, egg, and cheese with salt pepper and ketchup (BECSPK) isn't authentic unless it's on a kaiser/kimmelweck.
I descend from Yorkshire folk and in my youth people called me a "carb furnace" because I would eat carbs and produce heat.
@ColesStreetPothole @godzero @dogfox @Paperposts @ai6yr @Janet_52square @helplessduck
I love carbs.
When I was little, if I was unwell, Mum would make me mashed potato (actually instant powdered potato) with an egg beaten into it, and I would still eat a bowl of that now...
@ColesStreetPothole @godzero @dogfox @Paperposts @ai6yr @Janet_52square @helplessduck
And one of those occasions when the processed form (instant mash) was actually better than the real thing, in my mind at least. Maybe it's just nostalgia, but I can taste it now, and feel the texture.
@suearcher @godzero @dogfox @Paperposts @ai6yr @Janet_52square @helplessduck There was a time when I preferred TANG to real orange juice. The 1960s were quite a time.
