They’re doing it for the gains.
Europe: “terrorized and colonized the world to get spices” Also Europe: “serves up absolute disgusting food like this”
What the fuck was it all for?!?!
UK isn’t Europe it’s just some shitty island
Shitty islands
And yet somehow food is the only place their culture falls behind.
I know what I said.
British Empire: Steals all the worlds spices
Also British Empire: Refuses to use any of them
The people who got rich pillaging the world weren’t the ones who ate like this.
Different parts of Europe
No, exactly the same parts of Europe. Both the Dutch and the English were know for their spice trade and are known for their awful food. The rest of Europe has better food and terrorized and colonized for other reasons.
That doesn’t contradict what I said. Neither of those are a monolith.
The people doing the colonizing and using the spices and the people eating the bland food were from different parts of their countries.
Enlighten me which part of the Netherlands doesn’t eat bland food ;)
Isn’t alfredo just greasy milk
Actual Alfredo has no dairy added other than cheese
I know, my fiancée makes it at home! I’m just a tomato kinda guy. Your comment and name made me think of greasy milk. I found it really inocuous and just a bit jarring, in a funny way.
Anyways, I retorted like that because I just ate this like a week ago. Ernest Hemingway wrote about it in For Whom the Bells Toll, in 6th grade it entranced me. It’s pretty baller. Bread, cheese and onion.
They understand mexicans and biting into raw onions. If I had a pot of my mother’s beans, I’d be in heaven. Every now and again celebrate where you come from or enjoy simple discomforts. It’s why Islam venerates pilgramages and fasting. Christians, lent. Etc.
Thanks for letting me rant, I’m gonna go buy some beans.
Edit. Am boiling beans
Doesn’t it have cream?
And butter.
Looks drier than Ben Shaprio’s wife. Jesus Christ, man… Couldn’t you lube it up with some condiments or something? This criminal act you call a sandwich should come with a choking hazard label.
I’m absolutely going to steal and search for a reason to use that first line
How’s the weather where you are?
Appreciate the attempt but technically in a rainforest
…what’s a desert climate like, tho?
As dry as ben Shapiro’s wife!
Lately? Drier than Ben Shapiro’s wife!
It is you who do not see…
The onion is the lube, the onion is life.
I think they’re trying to catch some shiny Eevee or something.
The concept of putting condiments into sandwiches so that they’re not dry AF hasn’t made it to large parts of Europe.
We use butter. It also helps that our bread isn’t absolutely disgusting.
Still dry AF dude. Europe is good at many things, sandwhiches aren’t one of them. Just take the L.
That fat slice of onion looks brutal af.
You misspelled “delicious.”
No they didn’t.
You must’ve hated spelling bees as a kid
Maybe they did hate spelling ‘bees’, but I bet they loves spelling ‘delicious’!
Beads!?
Even if you did though you could spice this up cut up the onions fry them up a little bit melt that cheese and that bread on a pan. boom! you got a nice grilled cheese with some grilled onions
Raw onion is better than fried onion(I may be alone in this though). I do agree with melting the cheese, or just add more too it. This is a travesty.
Raw onion is tasty but my tummy doesn’t like it as much as I do, so I’ll usually go for fried
get some garlic in there too, in for a good time.
Throw on a little sliced ribeye to garnish, just for the hell of it.
ITs A MeLt [insert spongebob chicken meme here]
that looks amazing, imma make one tonight
But with red onion.
omfg I forgot that I was gonna do this and I didn’t go the the heb
also, red onion is good, yellow onion is good, white onion is good, all different but all good.
Came here to say this!
i’m a liar and I didn’t make the sammich. I forgot this was the plan and I got rum instead.
Understandable. Can’t argue either way. I’m over 50, both choices might kill me and I completely approve.
I see nothing wrong with this.
Oi u wot m8
Jus a sammich, innit?
No one was putting that much cheese on a ploughman’s during the war.
Just the good people of the Blur Boar Pub doing god’s work, steadily battling shrinkflation one cob at a time. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/leicester-news/leicester-pub-goes-viral-gargantuan-9596401
"A Leicester city centre pub has gone viral online on account of its humongous cheese and onion cobs. The manager of The Blue Boar pub on Millstone Lane, Jo Kearley, said they get comments “every single day” on their gargantuan size, but admits that they can’t now start making them smaller. She said: “We don’t want to be labelled with the whole ‘shrinkflation’ thing. Our sort-of saying is that we aren’t ‘just a cob shop’, we also sell beer.”
This picture disgusts me so much that I desperately wish I could never see it again.
Is there a reason they couldn’t heat any of that up?
Blitz Blackout?
Use the heat from the burning rumble outside? I swear I worry about that lot.
They probably don’t have an oven. It’s a pub.
They dont have ovens in pub? Like They don’t serve food?
It’s where you go to drink. They might have some pork scratchings or crisps behind the bar. Pubs with kitchens are a fairly recent phenomenon.
Oh didn’t know that.
My ancestors trail recipes are more varied than this, and half of them are just normal foods with chili poured over it. Why are you like this England actual cavemen had more varried foods, at least chop up the onion a bit more and grill the whole thing.
3am munchies joined the chat
Well as long as we’re yucking other people’s yum…
People will mock this and then eat some peanut butter 🤢
Don’t try to normalize this abomination. The preparation is as bad as the ingredients.
If this was prepared properly and with a more sane amount of onion this would be totally fine to me. I like me some raw onions sprinkled over food, adds a little zest. Definitely not a centimeter thick slice tho.
Alright. You got me.
What uhh… Whatcha got against peanut butter?
I dunno… that looks like a nice simple sandwich.
