Fries?!  I'll have you know those are finest British chips, my good fellow! And not just any old chips: those are " chip shop chips", the crème de la crème of all chips. Man they are green! Like Ang Lee movie Hulk Green. Hurts my eyes. Only thing that should cover fries is ketchup.🤪 We prefer mayonnaise, but then, Dutch cuisine is objectively worse than British. (Slap some potatoes, veggie, and meat together, call it a dish. And who needs seasoning?  ) |

Call 'em what you want - and the ones on the picture do look quite good. However, my point still stands: I think the peas would be better paired with mashed potatoes.

That green does look enhanced, as we do with Chicago-style pickle relish for hot dogs.

Mushy peas sounds more like a symptom than a food.

I assume the first brand are British? I’ve never seen them before and the Vlasic is American and it looks just like the version here. But this is Hamburger Relish. |

I still recall ex-wrestling manager Jim Cornette (manager of the Midnight Express), on his podcast, talking about the best french fries he ever had were at The Sportatorium, in Dallas, TX, where the Von Erich's shot their tv show, for World Class Championship Wrestling. The building was ancient (Elvis had played there) and had a concession stand, which he said made the best fries, mostly because they didn't drain the deep fryer! He said they finally did and found rat bones in there, from some of the less fortunate members of the rat colony that populated the building (he described them as being as big as cats and you would sometimes see them scurry across rafters). Part of that flavor, aside from years of fat and cooking oil, was from the dead things that had fallen into the fryer!
I have heard English comedians say that real Belgian pommes frittes blows away anything they ever go from a chip shop.

Yeah, they are a particularly virulent green in that picture. Most times, mushy peas are a paler green than that. |

My wife and I spent a week in Brussels and Bruge a few years back, and we were really disappointed with their chips. We'd heard so many good things about them, but the ones we had were a bit average, to be honest. Not terrible, mind you, but nothing to write home about. We kept trying place after place, thinking we'd just been unlucky, but we still kept getting fairly ordinary pomme frittes. Chips with mayo is a great idea of the Belgians' though. |

This wretched thing sported by Captain Britain (who'd been re-named Britannic for some reason) during the 90's.  Given all the costumes he's had AND all the costume designs from his various interdimensional counterparts, surely they could have chosen something less uninspired and uninspiring than this. What the...? I am a big fan of Cap Brit, and I must have mercifully slept through enough of the 90's to miss that one! That is HO-RENDOUS. |

Cei-U! I summon the sublime combo!

(...) This is the right answer. (Haven't had it in years, but I also like ranch dressing with fries.)

Otherwise, I have to say that this thread about least favorite costumes took an interesting turn...

Otherwise, I have to say that this thread about least favorite costumes took an interesting turn... Well, if you consider a condiment a food costume.... Mayo would be one of my least favorites. Mostly tasteless glop. Mustard all the way for me for sandwiches. On fries, ketchup or barbecue sauce, depending on the meal the fries are coming with. |

I think he had that costume for less than 10 issues or so, so it would have been easy to miss. Lashley introduced the costume and Ellis had Brian retire as a superhero and the costume a few issues later when he took over. When Ellis returned Brian to a costume, artist Casey Jones used a costume that looked a lot like the original Alan Davis costume:
