Fishin' in the stream of consciousness (all-purpose, no topic chat thread)

I think brown sauce is maybe barbeque sauce?

also, that sandwich looks fucking great
(i am canadian and have never heard of freedom fries or stuff, but i like all fries)

edit: OKay no it isnt barbeque sauce what the fuck is this, some kind of gravy stuff?

 

wikipedia tells me the closest equivalent is steak sauce or worcestershire sauce, and those are two very different things? also anyone dousing their stuff in worcestershire as a condiment is crazy. worcestershire is for cooking.

 

@blue is right. Brown sauce is brown sauce is brown sauce.

(Honestly idek, I'm a southerner.)

I also call ketchup ketchup. Who doesn't call ketchup ketchup?

 

The answer to this is probably "the industrial revolution", tbh. A mutual of mine went on a really interesting rant about it on tumblr a couple of weeks ago.

 

Link please

 

I'm looking for it...but he has no tagging system :T

 

For the record, I've never had brown sauce, I was just quoting Dollhouse :P

 

idk google just told me chip butties usually had tomato sauce or brown sauce and that ketchup was tomato sauce.

 

Brown sauce is a malt vinegar-based condiment. Somewhat similar in flavour to Worcestershire sauce and steak sauce, though Worcestershire is fishier. Steak sauce is closer, I think.

More importantly, brown sauce is awful and terrible and disgusting and my husband loves it to death.

(you're welcome to like brown sauce. It just makes me ill :P)

 

Can't find the post at all, bleh.

The gist of it was:
*string of disgusted reblogs about chip butties to a "shit white people eat" tune*
My mutual: you realise you're making fun of food traditionally eaten by the desperately poor working class in the industrial capitals of Britain, right? Stop being so fucking classist.

(And then my context is that fish-and-chips as a meal became much, much cheaper during the industrial revolution because the new railroads allowed fresh fish to be transported inland. And I always associate chip butties with F&C, but that...could just be a word association thing with no basis in fact.)

So I guess a better answer to "why would anyone just put fries on bread and call it a day" is probably "necessity".

 

that's really interesting! i never would have thought of that. it kinda reminds me of po boys in that light, although po boys weren't really a necessity thing and more of a handout cause they could be made cheap (from my understanding, anyways. i might be wrong)

 

I'm streaming Alleluia! The Devil's Carnival in 20 minutes, for anyone interested.

I'll be on Skype, poke me there if anything isn't working right

 

I never even heard of chip butties before this thread and I'm on a diet but omg I am making one some day. Albeit a gluten free one because wheat and I are no longer friends apparently.

I think it would work better with shoestring fries though, with carmalized onions a slice of tomato and thousand island dressing...

Ugh I can't with myself.

P.S. I'm really surprised this isn't more of an American thing like why hasn't McDonald's or Wendy's done this.

 

Point the first: I have a job! :D :D

Point the second: oh god I have a job and I have to ask my supervisor for time off for a trip and a college visit and it's four days a week 9-6 doing physical work and I'm not very strong at all aaaaaaaaaaaaa

Point the third: it's gonna be okay though.

 

Third point is the most important point.

Also: WHOOOO CONGRATULATIONS!

@blue

 

lookit this thing i found

 

Gonna take a weld test this Wednesday for a job that's nearly an hour's drive from my house. Sigh. All the job offers I get are out of town for some fucking inscrutable reason.

 

@Bel Capricorn ribbon fries:
That's one whole potato, sliced into one long spiral "ribbon" (hence the name). Popular at county fairs or any kind of event involving fried food stands around here. Often topped with cheese, chili, bacon, or poutine.

 

@sirsparklepants

Over here on the East Coast of USA we call those butterfly fries. But yes those are BOMB

 

Aren't those basically crisps in a long string? :P
