This is the funniest tweet I’ve ever seen.

Dude, you can’t just post this without showing what that guy casually described as “a plate of fish and chips”

How much of a twat do you have to be to have fish and chips that looks like this

Six chip twat

For any non-Brits looking at this in confusion, this is an extremely artisanal (and thus extremely pretentious) version of fish and chips.

Fish and chips is one of those dishes that British cuisine is famous for (not getting into any arguments about its origins here). It’s a fillet of fish, battered, served with chips and optional peas.

It’s hearty pub fare, or you can get it at a chippy - there are nice chippies and cheap chippies (there’s a phrase “cheap as chips” for a reason) - and it more often looks like the image from the Wikipedia article.

Big chunky chips, battered fish, maybe a lemon slice to give it a little kick. It’s not a particularly healthy meal, necessarily. It’s not something that needed to be made gourmet and pretentious.

Hence the visceral reaction against the Tory twat’s photo.

Of course, the other half of that reaction is that he’s a Tory and the hatred of Tories in Scotland is just about as deeply-seated as it is here in Wales, so almost anything he posts would get quite a visceral reaction.

The only reason I want to be sent a picture of someone’s food is if they’re offering me a bite or teaching me to make it.

Yeah, I’m an american and I am offended by how few chips there are there. I got more fries in my middle-school lunch lines

What’s worse is the puny size of the fish too though. Like you know he got that from some fancy ass restaurant and paid like $19 for that pitiful meal where as I would only pay $4. It looks like he ordered from the damn kids menu.

Fucking these rich people being so rich they don’t know how to feed themselves properly.

I am really amused at how much this is pissing people off

I’d be pissed too if someone gave me that poor excuse of a meal
