Of course not. Most British foods do though unfortunatelyStuart_the_Red said:
By definition then, all food is bland and needs condiments?MillwallFan said:People saying pie mash is bland, but it’s not when it’s smothered in salt, pepper and vinegar. Some times the condiments make the meal. Fish and chips is pretty bland, but cover it in salt and vinegar and a big dollop of tartare sauce and it is a food from the gods. Same as a decent salad needs a good dressing to make it special or a prawn cocktail needs to be covered in Marie Rose sauce. Hotdogs need mustard, a burger needs ketchup, a kebab needs chilli sauce. A ham sandwich is bland, but put some English mustard in it and bosh. Same with a cheese sandwich. Bland as anything, but add some chutney or pickle and it changes it totally. Same with pie mash. It’s all about the condiment 👍🏻1 -
He's a veggie, either he hasn't come to terms with it or won't admit to himself or his Wall brethren, he doesn't enjoy pie and mash without and I quote, "smothered". Tantamount to heresy at his club.Carter said:

In actual fact he masks the flavour of all of his food.
@MillwallFan, come over to the light

I wouldn't say pie and mash is 'bland'. Its just shit. Rank meat and even worse pastry. Remove the 'London geezer' element and its basically a school dinner from the 80's.8

The clamouring to denigrate pie and mash is more embarrassing than the alleged 'geezer' tag
So much so that it's ladened with ironic seasoning 0 -

Its peasant stodge. My 85 year old mother would wrestle you for a pie.

I remember taking my then girlfriend (now wife) to Manze's on Tower Bridge Road when we first met to show her a bit of south London heritage. She couldn't believe that people still ate it. I quite like it, but it would be way down a list of foods that I'd go for.

I was with you till the mention of ketchup on a burger. well ketchup on anything. a sauce for those who don't know a thing about flavour.MillwallFan said:People saying pie mash is bland, but it’s not when it’s smothered in salt, pepper and vinegar.

Replace ketchup with tomato relish, Dijon mustard or truffle Mayo, or whatever, point stands, you need a good condiment to make a burger special.Karim_myBagheri said:

you've broken the illusion!Jessie said:
Never heard of the show but the "things" you just mentioned are definitely not food here. Nobody in their right mind would eat them.😅Karim_myBagheri said:if charlton life became china life i wonder what food stuff they couldn't stand? When i saw that Karl Pilkington show and the camera panned across to his coach driver scoffing down a chicken fetus still in its shell and some passer by chomping on a bit of scorpion head i thought they're one lot who couldn't possibly have any hang ups on what food stuff they intake.
its poor by the show makers then as it was meant to be an off beat travel/comedy show. To find out that was scripted and was done so it makes funny tv and to go along with Karl Pilkingtons theories/prejudices is a shame. However if it was scripted then it was done well as the market stalls around him all had that on offer.

Only one mention for salad cream! Poisonous stuff.
Not so long ago at a party I was at the seafood sauce had been made using this revolting stuff. This is one food I definitely don't get. And hate.0 -
When I was a child I always wondered why my aunt's tuna mayo tasted different to my mum's. It took some time before I realised that it was made with salad cream instead of mayo. Horrible stuff!Plumstead_Micky said:Only one mention for salad cream! Poisonous stuff.

They’re actually my three favourite burger condiments, depending on my mood. I just didn’t want to drop my guard and loss my geezer image on here so I went for ketchupKarim_myBagheri said:

Peppers.
When my sister was dating her now husband of 40 years, we were invited to his sister for lunch. I was a picky eater then and my sister made it clear that I was to eat whatever was put in front of me and not embarrass her in front of her in-laws. Starter was three pepper soup. “So simple, just red, green and yellow peppers boiled in water, but so pretty”. Was still puking the next day 🤮1 -
We feed our dogs whole beef tripe when we can get it, my Missus smears vics synex under her nose when she preps it for them, the stink is that bad.Carter said:Whoever said tripe that's something that never needs to be in a human mouth. You can taste the actual shit still.
The used to eat tripe as a treat and her breath would stink for days but she loved it, that said she also used to eat fox shit.
I tried fermented shark in Iceland, I knew it was going to be nasty, I cant describe how rancid that was, go into a high end Icelandic restaurant though and it will be there on the menu
Bow the dirty bastard did a big burp in my face after eating it, I was chewing it for weeks after that, Rank stuff!!4 -
A related tale from my Grandad on this topic:
He told me when he was a kid that he was at a 'posh' family dinner where the food was being served to them by a butler. When he got his dinner he clocked the peas on his plate, which he said he hated, but because of the occasion didn't want to make a fuss and so thought he'd eat them first - get rid of them and then enjoy the rest. He'd just polished them off when the butler noticed what he'd done and very generously said "ah, you like your peas" and delivered another big dollop of them on his plate!6 - Sponsored links:

I buy mine from Durham Animal feeds, they deliver it frozen in 2.5 kilo slab blocks.
I keep it in a large deep freezer in the garage and defrost it a slab at a time.
Yes it does stink but you soon get used to it.
It doesn’t make Zubens breath smell one little bit.
Every day I mix it with terrier meal and a table spoon of Salmon oil.
He woofs it down in a flash…..the greedy little sod.0 -
Your right it doesn’t make their breath stink, but the gases from their stomach from green tripe, a salmon head and some minced beef combo eaten 30 seconds before hand belched back in your face as you grab 5 minutes kip on the sofa does! 😉😂SoundAsa£ said:

find it overpowering on most dishes and that chefs use it just for the sake of using it to try and make dishes fancier.3 -
