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?

Got it in one.

Not to mention adding M&S for the 'luxurious high end meal' 🤣😁

Hey @JulyCompost did you know you can buy the real thing in Tesco! No need for the M&S unauthentic version 😅

This is a brilliant thread 🤣🤣. You are an absolute gem OP.

Fuck me.

So the OP's been banging on about adding crisps to food for over TWO years? 🤦‍♀️

Couldn’t agree more!

This is what took me to the fair🤣🤣

She's certainly committed to her cause. Are we going to find out she runs a Chipstick manufacturing company?

It always makes me laugh when Brits claim to have superior tastes/refinement/grasp of nutrition...

They eat swine for breakfast
serve their children crisps for lunch
And have one of the highest obesity rates and worst tooth decay in Europe

🫣😬

I agree. I said it was crisps that were unhealthy and when posters pointed this out you said that it was healthy because it was potatoes. You’ve defeated your own argument

I’ve never considered using these as a topping, I’m going to try this now! I imagine they’d be great on things like hot dogs and salad

OP is this reviewer you?😅

To be fair her post is judgmental, what’s the point of creating a post asking why people in the Uk don’t make breakfast like they do in Brazil. Isn’t it common sense that every culture and country do things differently?

What exactly is she expecting people to tell her in response???

I just read the 'boiled steak' thread.

It was a sight to behold.

I made a nice meal of chicken, rice and crisps but my husband thinks it's weird.

This is from the other thread linked above. OP was obviously determined to make her husband like this because she’s been serving it to him for two years and he has finally relented and decided to go with the flow🤣

Well, you lot eat 'chips butties' or 'crisps sandwiches' so I mean, wouldn't be too far a strech.

Forget the chipsticks, what in the everloving fuck have you done to those eggs?

Brazil has a very slightly higher obesity rate 🤷‍♂️

But if I went onto a Brazillian parenting forum and asked why they don't make Cornish pasties and Yorkshire puddings like us Brits do, I would expect to be told to get to fuck if I'm honest 👀🤣

YABU for using “yum” and “hubby”

You've reminded me, OP, that I still have half a packet of Golden Wonder chip shop curry flavour Chippies (chipsticks) in a cupboard. No way am I adulterating those beauties with any other foodstuff. I may or may not resort to eating them for breakfast one morning.

Amazing how Brazilian cookery makes everything look the same by covering your meal in chopsticks.

We add what Uk people call "chip sticks" to our meals, makes it more exciting and delicious!

if i'm making a more luxurous high end meal as a weekend treat I'll use ones like this from marks and spencers

God love you Op I'm howling.

Is it? What’s in the ingredient list on the packet?

I used to love chipsticks as a kid but I’ve cut out the UPFs now.

If I was to have a splurge I’d probably put a pile of them between two slices of buttered bread. Mmmm

When OH was prediabetic one of the first things he was told to avoid was potatoes. So not that healthy

Like skinny French fries. Love the recipes in the link.
