Do you like my supper?

Question

Tonight's supper comes straight from the British I can't afford to eat collection and I'm sure many people will recognize it. It goes under different names around the UK but here in Wales, we call it Tatws pum munud which translates as potatoes five minutes. Total bollocks because it at takes least half an hour.

It's a pack of bacon fried with onions, topped with sliced potatoes then simmered in beef stock until cooked and thick before arranging artistically on a plate and serving with bread.

Hmmm. Looks like a good way to clog your arteries. If you don't have money a much better option is wheat bread, peanut butter, and canned vegetables. All of that is pretty low fat and low cholesterol and cheap, plus you get the multi-veggies, and high protein. As long as you don't add any other sugar throughout the day, the sugar level is fine with the PB. And it is also sodium level acceptable. Yep, I know all about cheap nutrition, I was once a literal starving artist. Literally. You get real creative and very knowledgeable when you come from two poor families and were a struggling artist.

It probably tastes alright, but have Brits ever heard of veggies or seasonings?

Blimey, mate, I don't know 'bout you, but I reckon you're right in saying 'Tatws pum munud' is a load of tripe. I mean, potatoes takin' half an hour? What's the world comin' to? I'd be more inclined to call it 'Tatws pum gwymnyn' - 'potatoes that take ages.' I'd rather be engaging in a spot of good old fashioned cricket. Sure beats twiddling me thumbs, waiting for these blasted bastards, isn't it?

I love the British people so much but 😂 the food at this point has to be a practical joke. Mushy pees? Just putting everything on toast? What is going on?

I will say the full English breakfast is amazing though.

I think inmates would revolt

AviatorTom · Answer

Didn't Oliver and the Artful Dodger eat that at the orphan boys' home? They called it gruel if I recall. Must be good... "May I have some more?" he asked.

Kylie_Bug · Answer

Looks similar (sort of) a dish here ham and scalloped potatoes.

tremendousfern · Answer

The thing about British food is that it never looks that appetizing, but it's always pretty tasty and filling and cheap. Roast beef, potatoes, bacon, onions, buttered bread, etc. It's just a good hearty meal.

Looks like prison/school food but if you made it, it probably tastes good

RebelinSteel · Answer

I have come home completely arseholed and off my tits, then had a pot noodle sandwich, never would I do that. One part says it will taste fine the other is fuck I’ve been sick on my plate.

Date_a_Snob · Answer

this might be controversial but Bristish/Irish/ Scottish food looks disgusting but takes absolutely delicious

goaded · Answer

Never heard of it, but it sounds delicious. Without the stock, it would be Bratkartoffel, fried potatoes, with an egg instead of the stock it could be a Spanish tortilla.

MrOracle · Answer

I've never had it, and I am a picky eater, but I would definitely try this. All the ingredients are on my green light list.

abc3643 · Answer

I would definitely eat this. My wife probably would too, but she's really "carb conscious" these days. Are you in Wales?

GuyAnswersGirls123 · Answer

That doesn't look the most appetizing to me but it actually sounds really, really good. I'd to be happy to try it. I'm surprised you managed to get it so thick without adding any thickening agent like corn starch.

BlissfullyCurSed · Answer

I'm sorry but it looks so unappetising. It seems healthy at least.

rosemilk · Answer

it seems like it would be really filling, but doesn't look the greatest lol

Fireguy17 · Answer

I would eat that, probably toss in some burger just because.

LaurenM1997 · Answer

I don’t know how i feel about the pic 🤣 tbh if you gave me that I wouldn’t eat it

JacobJordan · Answer

That plate is chipped. Missing some color in the food but otherwise looks alright.

exitseven · Answer

I thought it was beef stew but bacon is involved as well.

DJB72 · Answer

Used to do it with baked beans instead of beef stock

douride2 · Answer

I made something similar last week. I called it stew.

KostasKouvalis · Answer

They must've gotten that recipe when they colonized India

bolverk · Answer

That's Tattie Ash in the North of England, served with Pickled Red Cabbage.

Guido · Answer

It's food that is only good for driving your cholesterol through the roof. It might taste ok but it definitely isn't healthy.

AngryCarl · Answer

Why is it that disgusting colour? I mean literally how do you make bacon and potatoes look like stale vomit?
