for someone who isn't obsessed with England, what is that green slop underlying the pie and mash?

It goes by many names, most commonly "Green Liquor" or "Fancy Vomit". You see, in Merry Olde England, only princely noblemen were allowed to eat actual food. After dinner, they would vomit a certain portion back up to feed their knights, who in turn would feed the common soldiers with their own vile sick. (Admittedly, by the time the infantry got fed, the barf was pretty diluted and not nearly as nutritious.)

Now originally, the peasantry ate nothing but shit from the gentry's latrines. But as the country became more prosperous and serfdom was abolished in the late 20th century, even the low-born were able to acquire such twice-diluted royal upchuck, which they imaginatively called "Fancy Vomit", "Royal Gravy", or "Green Liquor", believing it to be more "refined" by virtue of the extra digestive cycles. Fancy Vomit has become something of a status symbol for slumdogs putting on airs, and they'll drench just about any dish in this foetid greenish puke. You can buy it by the decaliter at Marks & Spencer, the favourite grocer of the upwardly-mobile undercaste.
