I was part right about the spuds. It seems the Irish Catholics wanted a meat-free pie they could eat on Fridays, and the local bakers obliged.

Butter was added after a while, because just potatoes and onions was ‘too dry’.

-si- Is that real, dave?

100% though I never cottoned on to it being because of the Papists.

    zackster I think you should make some of these recipes Zackster. Start a TikTok about it - you and your bird making, eating and then critiquing this stuff. It’s the kind of thing that gets a million views.

      thats a great idea! Found a recipe for scrumps and crupbles that sounds mouth watering…

      1. Batter dip 2 fresh pieces of cod
      2. Deep Fry
      3. Drop on floor (both pieces)
      4. Sweep up all the shit that fell off
      5. Serve
      6. Have Grant compare it to random South Carolina side dishes.

      The absolute fury from British viewers is what would make it hilarious/unmissable. You’d have James Corden special guest within weeks.

        The name of the show?

        Fishes and chipses.

        Seriously, the American equivalent of that bag of fried matter would be someone going into a diner and ordering a sack of all the food scraped off of other peoples plates throughout the day.

        I do like the idea of Corden trying to cancel me for doing anti British racism.

        Me: “Some of my best friends are English!”
        Jim: “Do you have any idea how incredibly racist that is?”
        Me: “Ask Ed Smallman, he’ll tell you that it’s ‘all just bants’.”
        Jim: “As it happens we have Ed on video conference now. Ed can you hear me?”

        Ed: “lol! Mate, where the fuck am I?”

          One potato side? Fuck off, jy! That’s a dinner with looser written all over it.

          How much is the fish?

            Will have my Zoom backdrop of an animated kitchen sink good to go.
