I know that mushy Peas with white pepper and chili vinegar kicks ASS and I bet it would slap on fries, but good God does that look vile.

Like pubic hair in Japanese porn.

I'm not sure what that even is. Maybe gravy?? It does look like it's a semi-transparent gel akin to Vaseline.

It looks like the slime that eels secrete as a defense mechanism, but mixed with beef fat. What I know of peak Bri'ish cuisine, that jives.

I've heard the notion before that mushy peas are the British guacamole. It only reinforces my headcanon, that it's being served with chili and what the British call "chips". 🙃

Do you have a chip on your shoulder about them being called chips?

No, he's got a crisp on his shoulder. What a slob.

on first glance i thought this was fries with guac and gravy.

and i assumed this was an american bragging about being free cos 'we can eat junkfood and watch football' or something.

I would equally love to see a Yanks face when they try a good burger for the first time.
