Why don't UK people cook meals like this? Yum!

[JulyCompost]

I am natively from Brazil living in London now, and I make hubby eggs in morning etc. We add what Uk people call "chip sticks" to our meals, makes it more exciting and delicious! He loves it but says he has never seen it before.

Any other Brazillians on here who can share similar?

Well I actually like the look of it. I might try it.

But they're FRIED bis of potato, no?

Nobody thinks crips/chips/fries are healthy, surely?

It still doesn’t alter the fact that you are adding unnecessary salt, fat and carbs to a perfectly healthy meal.

I hate troll hunting but there is no way a single living person thinks these are healthy 😂

Rage baiting?

Good one op. 😂

They’re still crisps op!!! Salt and oil. Whether they come from M&S or not!

But the potato comes from the Americas so perhaps she does have a point.

Mind you… for added batshit… I also lived in Egypt for a few years

goddawful place

where you have to tell the server in the cafe NOT to microwave your carrot cake (or any other cake for that matter) as they did this every time to try and make the cake feel as if it were fresher

theyd look at me as if I were odd when I told them not to heat my cake.

In the same way Brazilians would look at me when I said I take my coffee black and without sugar 🤣

Waitrose is the top end of food shops? Don't tell Fortnum and Mason that

Yes

This is so obviously a wind up. Crisps are not healthy, full stop.

This actually depends entirely on where you live. In an affluent area, there isn’t many overweight people, the reverse is true in areas where poverty is high.

This post ^ is coming from someone who doesn’t actually shop in either

It's a brazillian meal i've never said it's healthy, in the UK we have fish and chips as the most common meal and that's not healthy, you can treat yourself sometimes to make life interesting and exciting

I’m naive enough to not be 100% sure and am feeling very sorry for the op if she genuinely thinks she was sharing a wonderful healthy idea.

Or make troll posts on MN to make life more interesting and exciting, yes?

I agree this is not a healthy potato topping but I also don't find it such an 'out-there' concept as a lot of posters seem to - in my (basic English) family we have a recipe for vegetable bake which has a topping made primarily of cheese and crushed ready-salted crisps and it is yummy. :-)
Ours comes from (last century) family members running a shop that sometimes had out-of-date crisps to use up.

You are either rolling around on the floor op laughing to yourself, or you need to go on a cookery course. No, op, adding 10g salt and 10g oil to eggs does not make life exciting.

It is a real thing in Brazil, though.

Thank you Pandora

And you said on the first page "it's healthy because it's just potatoes". Try harder in your trolling please 😂

It really isn’t. It is chip sticks added to anything. A Brazilian friend of mine adds them to his food.

why is your thread title about UK people not cooking like this when ‘this’ is adding crisps to a plate of food?

one of the weirdest threads yet.

I prefer the corner shop and a tin of Spam on tick until payday.

Yes it absolutely is, we ate a lot of dishes sprinkled with these pala pala chip sticks in Brazil. Also they are very commonly sprinkled on traditional dishes in Portugal. Whenever we go to Portugal, we'll bring a few bags home for the cupboard, and sprinkle them on our salads for a bit of crunch and saltiness. I really don't understand why people are getting their knickers in a twist. It's a sprinkle, nobody is mainlining them!
