It's mashed green peas. This is a British dish called chips and mushy peas.
Theyre mature peas that are soaked in water with baking soda before being rinsed and cooked
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushy_peas
and I love them
Peas are A-tier. How mushy are the chips?
Chips are cooked in too much low quality oil, they immediately wrap the chips in lots of paper which conceals moisture and renders the chips soggy, the English love that though. The worst of it imo is something called “chip butty” which is just chips in a “barm” which is just a bun and then they pour a bunch of sauce on top of the chips whether it be gravy, curry, or mushy pae. Absolutely shocking food but it was cheap like 1£ and when you’re in high school and starving it’s not bad
Hard to say no to any hot food for ~whatever 1 pound is in burgerdollars these days.
okay you lost me with the mushy fries. If they were like regular slightly crispy fries I would be all over it. I'd still probably enjoy it but you gotta have the contrast in texture to really make it good imo.
Peanut butter is so good and I remain gobsmacked it hasn't conquered the world. What do you mean you don't want a rich savory spread full of protein and good plant fats that you can make anywhere with an oven and some kind of grinder?!?
If I had cooking energy I've been thinking a lot about making peanutbutter with savory spices, especially cardamom for some reason.

I can't honestly remember the taste very well either.
And yeah I love that PB is so absurdly calorie dense. I have been "eat peanutbutter out of a jar with a spoon" depressed many times and it's very good when you're that badly off, but it's also good for just throwing in the back of a car when you need to drive for twenty hours and don't want to pay gas station food prices, or for sticking in the bottom of your backpack if you're going to be in the woods for a week and want emergency food that doesn't need to cook. And it's shelf stable, especially the store brands, and lasts forever.
It's not the perfect food but it might be the perfect food.
