TheDoctorAP@reddit

Honestly though with a little finesse and $1.50 more of ingredient this could be made delicious IMO. Mash the peas with the cream cheese add some mint, marjoram, and/or savory. Toast the bread in the butter. Pipette the pea mixture on top. Fry a tin of sardines with some sliced garlic or garlic powder in a pinch and top. Over the pea mixture.

He's TWENTY

[-]

lferry1919@reddit

Could just be a really tech savvy 6 year old.

...or they keep the bread where the 9 year old can't reach it. My niece can't reach my bread because it's on top of the fridge. No real reason other than it was the space that's free and it's an efficient placement for sandwich making reasons. She's a little monster that likes me to make sandwiches for her though and then she pulls them apart and eats the ingredients separately. Then she laughs when I ask her if it's because she hates me. She'd be fine with just sandwich components. All of which she can reach.

[-]

ParticularAd4371@reddit

true point, you never complain about a meal someone has made for you. But still, moaning about it on reddit seems like fairplay. Got to have a vent.

No, totally fair to vent. It was kind of you to humor her and try it. You're very brave. I was just trying to make sure I didn't sound insensitive if it turned out you were just a very witty kid that suffered at dinner because their drunk mom made them a pea sandwich.

[-]

Maximillion_3@reddit

At first I thought that was like a grand worth of capers then I audibly sighed

[-]

No_Koala5728@reddit (OP)

figured i’d clarify a couple things

i am american, not english… it was a little devastating to default to british level cooking in multiple peoples minds
i should have clarified a little better. i had already eaten at this this point. she had gotten home late and decided to make me a plate when she made herself dinner anyways. food is a big love language in my family, including our weird creations we put together when it’s getting close to grocery shopping time
my mom having some wine didn’t really impact the weirdness of what she makes. she grew up a waste not want not family. i’m pretty sure the peas were left over from another dinner and she had limited options to choose from to make them into a substantial meal.
i love my mom, she’s great. a little neurotic at times but who isn’t. i am in not way complaining about this dish, just thought it would be funny to share.
my mom is a fantastic cook and she makes great delicious food consistently. she just likes to experiment when she wants a girl dinner and it can come out like this occasionally.

6.i feel like people may be assuming she’s an alcoholic or maybe neglectful but all her kids are grown and can feed themselves and if she wants to decompress a little after work and make a weird little snack, i feel she’s far more than earned it

[-]

Duhcisive@reddit

Not gonna lie, #1 made me laugh because I was wondering this entire time if you happened to be British😅

All jokes aside, sounds like your mom raised a very loving child & she would probably be extremely proud to read your comment!

When I was a kid my dad fed my brother and I potato sandwiches..plain bread, boiled potato skin and all in between. My brother threw his away. I ate mine. My dad found my brothers in the trash and he said I did it. I had to eat a 2nd potato sandwich, this time garbage can flavored.

[-]

Throw some cheese on there and make some fancy grilled cheese.

At least there's some seasoning? I guess?

[-]

Acheron98@reddit

That made me gag reflexively despite none of those ingredients being repulsive on their own.

Solid post.

[-]

LogicalVariation741@reddit

Feeding kids day in and out is exhausting. And sandwiches are hard- I don't eat them so I don't really understand how to make them. On top of it, if you are old enough to post on the Internet, you can make your own sandwich.

What I am saying is, you say thank you, take a single bite then make your own.

And if your mom is a danger to herself or others or your home life is scary bad, go to a trusted adult. But if this is a one off- give the lady some grace.

A good French Canadian version of this is peas & roux. Make a basic roux (flour & butter until golden) add milk, salt, pepper and thicken, then add canned peas. Dump over a plate spread with saltines. It’s really good.

That's wild, the veal at least.

My mom grew up on crab, that’s unheard of now. I've substituted staples with what was a luxury even 30y ago, bc I grow it & too expensive to buy what it called for. Until the family cattle farm shut down beef was by far the main protein source. We’d pay feed and butchering and get the best meats. Now hamburger is a somewhat rare treat. That’s all just in the last 50y, gets way more wild when you bring in my Grandparents and their parents (GGma was born 1916, only passed recent so I have less reference pre-WW).

Cheese and peas is perfectly acceptable. Swap that sour cream for some cheddar and it probably would have been palatable. Buttered toast and peas would have been a hundred times better.

I think I've been watching too many spudbros videos because this doesn't look that bad to me

[-]

bitofafixerupper@reddit

It’s honestly not bad if you do it right, some of our comfort foods for cold nights when we can’t be arsed don’t look the most appetising but they hit the spot! Just have to season and cook properly and you’re golden.

[-]

GobLoblawsLawBlog@reddit

You talking about this pea sammich or the spuds?

[-]

bitofafixerupper@reddit

I thought you were talking about English food in general, I’m sleep deprived lol. Defo not the pea sandwich, but our spuds are nice, if you do them right our roasties are unreal

[-]

GobLoblawsLawBlog@reddit

Oh I don't really have a problem with English food, it's just some of the combinations seem wild to me as a Canadian. The jacket potatoes themselves seem fine with butter and cheese, but the spudbros videos were the first time I've seen beans or tuna go on a potato. They must be good though because they always have such a huge lineup

[-]

TheHemogoblin@reddit

Claims to be Canadian, calls them jacket potatoes... hmmm...

Seriously though, since I first heard them called that on Cuckoo (brit comedy show), I try to remember to call them that, I love it

[-]

GobLoblawsLawBlog@reddit

That would be an odd thing to lie about but I called them jacket potatoes because thats what the spudbros call them, you can see in another comment that I say baked potato too

[-]

TheHemogoblin@reddit

Haha yea, I was just messing around. I've never heard a fellow Canadian call it that, so I was poking fun :)

[-]

GobLoblawsLawBlog@reddit

I think I prefer spud to be honest, Jacket Potato is a mouthful

[-]

bitofafixerupper@reddit

Oh nooooo tuna on a jacket potato for me but I’m not into fish at all so I’m biased there. Cheese and beans on the other hand (with salt and pepper and butter obviously) is a firm yes from me

[-]

GobLoblawsLawBlog@reddit

I actually have a can of british style baked beans in the cupboard right now and I've got half a mind to get some potatoes in the morning

[-]

bitofafixerupper@reddit

Oooh go on lad (or lass)! Which brand are they? Salted full fat butter is best and if you can use red leister or cheddar those are the best cheese options! Please keep me updated I’m invested now lmao

[-]

GobLoblawsLawBlog@reddit

Heinz beans. I've never had red leister before but I may as well try to go full authentic if I can find it at the store. I'll try to remember to send you a picture and review tomorow lol

[-]

bitofafixerupper@reddit

Those are the ones I use if I’m getting branded! Otherwise I’ll use Asdas own but I doubt you’ll manage to get them lol. Heinz can be quite sugary but a lot less sugary than American beans so I’ve heard. Red leister is lovely, make sure you grate rather than slice. If your shop has lurpak butter even better!

[-]

GobLoblawsLawBlog@reddit

Heinz was the only one I noticed that said "British Style" but I actually picked them up specifically because they had nearly half the sugar and salt than the regular ones. I don't think I've ever seen Asdas own brand here before. Haven't seen lurpak either but I'll put that on the list. I've never looked forward to a baked potato so much haha

[-]

bitofafixerupper@reddit

I need to check my beans and see if they say British style 🤣 I’m so excited for you! Just a tip, I mix a bit of grated cheese into the beans as they’re on the hob too as it thickens it up a bit, that’s very much preference though!

[-]

GobLoblawsLawBlog@reddit

I would assume yours just say beans lol I'm sure it'll be kinda funny to see it written on the can so I'll include it in a pic later. I was just planning on microwaving the beans, I'll throw some cheese in there

[-]

bitofafixerupper@reddit

I’ll have a look and let you know lol. Oh noooo not the microwave, I can’t take it (half joking lmao) they’re best on the hob but I’m sure they’ll still be okay in the microwave.

[-]

GobLoblawsLawBlog@reddit

Is there actually a difference? I'll throw it on the stove for the experience

[-]

bitofafixerupper@reddit

I feel like it makes them thicker and stodgier in a good way if that makes sense when they’re done on the stove. Nothing stopping you trying both ways though and seeing what you prefer! I might be imagining the difference and making life harder for myself for no reason lol

[-]

melne11@reddit

Right? I’m not drunk or high (yet-it’s still early) and I’m thinking it’s kind of fire. I’d probably spread the butter better, warm up the peas, and add some garlic salt. But I’d eat it.

[-]

aroyalidiot@reddit

Yeah some grated garlic would be perfect for the sandwich, or some shredded parm, it may be weird b but the flavors already have solid foundation just with the peas, butter and cream

[-]

Choice-Block3991@reddit

This reminds me of that time I tried one of my then-coworker’s pea snaps and then spent the next 5 minutes in the dish pit trying not to spew. Moral of this story is don’t eat things made of peas. They are foul and I would rejoice if they went extinct.

Active_Illustrator71@reddit

My completely sober aunt once made me a baked potato with butter and either Swiss or provolone and straight from the can peas, not even warmed up, the cheese not even melted, cold from the fridge. That was the first and last time I went to her house for dinner. I felt so sick afterwards. I'm not even picky when it comes to food but some things just shouldn't be made. I would also like to add I do love mashed potatoes and peas but this was nothing like that. Peas weren't even seasoned. I'm having flashbacks 😭
