  1. Needs some kind of cheese to keep the olives from falling off. Looks good to me 

  2. Olives are a great substitute for salt and add some cheese, perfect!

  3. I would love to eat that, the tang of the olives would go great with the crunch of the chips

  4. As someone who is British, I would die before eating that.

  5. *I’d* eat that – that’s utter *genius!*

    Not so sure about the alleged chips – they look more like fries to me.

    But I’m not sure the more usual thick-cut, deep-fried, soggy ones would work so well – maybe crispy steak-cut chips would be a good halfway house compromise?

  6. Don’t be ridiculous. That’s ‘tap seals on haywain’ and it’s a delicacy. Bloody heathens.

  7. 10 pints down the pub till closing will cause you to make some food errors.

  8. Nuts and bolts is too literal and intelligible. It would have to be something like hickle frig (if English) because in the mill where they wove the coal into bread the machine were feed with a bucket of nuts and bolts. The bucket was called a frigget and the apprentice who throw the bucket was known as a thickle.

    The workers would fry their potatoes and in the coal oil and of course the majority of the workers were Greek and all they wanted something to eat their olives with.

    That’s how we got Hickle and Frig the West Sussex coal thread factory delicacy.

  9. In rural Quaintshire, we call that ‘Frogs’ Arseholes on Chips’.

  10. While it looks terrible and I wouldn’t eat it, I’m more annoyed by the use of “prolly”.
