>look nice
do brits really?

>>20210965
Legend has it that they're there to frighten Satan away.

>>20210965
>are they just there to make it look nice?
But it doesnt look nice.

>>20210965
No clue but some specific fish have very nice cheek meat. I so rarely eat fish I don't know the specifics. I would try those at least.

hopefully they took the gills out cause that shit is nasty

>>20210965
Bongs insist these are rarely eaten yet you can find hundreds of recent photos from all over the UK, why are they ashamed of their fish 'ead pie?

The oil in the head drips down and bastes the crust

>>20210965
I believe traditionally it was just to show that there was actual fish in the pie

>>20211398
So a pie like this was considered a sign of wealth to the Briton?

>>20211412
I think the legend goes that some village had a terrible stormy winter where nobody was catching any fish, then some guy went out in the storm and came back with a huge catch and they made this pie to celebrate
It's just a festival food with a fancy story attached only eaten in one small part of england

>>20210965
Its friday during Lent. So Yes.

>>20211332
>Bongs insist these are rarely eaten
They aren't.
It's a traditional thing in part of a small rural English county. (Cornwall)

>>20211447
>>20210965
Talking of Cornwall, you must try some real pasties, they're kind of a hand-held pie and every bakery in Cornwall has a twist on it.

btw. I am not from Cornwall, I dislike the Cornish actually.

>>20211332
Thinly veiled anti-bong thread. The British Isles have a rich culinary tradition as opposed to what 4chan will have you believe.

>>20211447
Don't try to argue with Americans I had one unironically tell me we don't drink milk then accuse me of being from a fly over state. They think a hyper focused lens in the media = reality, just nod at them and let them clap to their flag. Telling them otherwise confuses and angers the American.

>>20211473
Understood mate.

>>20211473
Have another beige foodstuff and calm down Jeeves.

>>20211473
The media has never mentioned anything about English people drinking or not drinking milk, and very rarely mentions any state's "flyover" status.

>>20211555
When an angloid gets the instinctive urge to pinch off a shitpost about America they have no choice, in the rare case they haven't been seething about America recently and don't have something ready to go they just make something up.

>>20211473

WHat is this "milk" you are speaking of?
Milk in Europe is just a myth.

I would projectile vomit if I saw that irl, nasty shit

>>20211661
>has paid to post on 4chow since 2018

>>20211802
Actually I won my pass on the 2018 pass4life contest so no I don't pay for it

>>20211806
sure you did buddy

>>20211924
why would he lie about that
what a retarded thing to lie about

>>20211929
Actually I was indeed lying about it, it's something I always say when people point that I pay for 4chan. It works with many newfags (like you)

>>20210965
it's amazing that an island people are so bad at cooking seafood

>>20210965
Reminds me of that clickbait vid where the fish pops out of the ground.

>>20211936
>>20211929
lamao you guys fucking wrecked
good lying though

>>20211310
Stargazy pie is made with pilchards. There's barely any meat in the head, but you can pick out a little if you're enterprising.

i love these little niggers like you wouldn't believe

Wtf Europeans drink milk?

>>20211471
> 'British' Isles
> that's Britain and Ireland to you mate

Ireland doesn't have a rich culinary tradition because some gap toothed fucks kept stealing all the food. Best in the world for meat and dairy ingredients though.

>>20210970
>>20211008
I think it looks nice. Fish heads are cool to look at and make the food appear more interesting.

Also the best meat on the fish is on the head, try fish cheek next time you have a whole grilled fish, it's so delicious.

>>20213825
That's jewish food.

>>20213866
you couldn't be further from the truth

>>20213875
european jews and european germans are very genetically close, that's part of the funny in retrospect

>>20214059
more like, eurojews appropriated german cooking and incorporated german into their awful non-language, renaming things in a real cringeworthy way. "gefilte fisch" reads incredibly ESL (I guess GSL technically).

>>20214228
i wonder if they use the GSL acronym in Germany

>>20214235
Nah, I made it up on the spot. Although some Germans make up words on the spot a lot cause the language is very good at that.
t. German.

>>20214245
schaadenfreudue is my favourite

i find it interesting how you combine words to form new proper nouns, e.g. Electronikdanceclub

>>20214247
it's basically because we put what matters into the noun. English has the habit of littering everything with verbs and adjectives: "[adjective] thing that [verb]s X" while german would tend to contract all of that into a noun like "[adjective]X[verb]er".

>>20211332
I have never eaten or seen anyone eating a fish head pie in the UK or eels. But then again I live in London so it may be different in the regions. I think they're just posting that to get attention. If anything it's probably cottage/shepherds pie, roasts potatoes/chips, fried chicken, the various currys, pizza that get eaten most frequently. Sorry to disappoint.

It's quite normal in other cultures to serve the fish whole. Think of it as a mark of provenance and you can see how fresh the head is from the eyes and the gills. (I remove the gills and non-edibles before cooking obviously).

I don't have a problem with eating fish heads. I eat them every week when I have trout and mackerel. Just chew on them and spit out the bones. Mackerel heads actually have a lot of delicious oil inside and the offal minus the poop chute is good too.

>>20211471
>rich culinary tradition
>everything worthwhile either comes from scotland or india
Shut up faggot.

>>20211661
>>20211936
I'm gonna 4chan "pass" on your ignorant anti-Anglo opinions.

>>20211471
>the beer costs more than the slop
hahaha

>>20214301
removing the spaces from a phrase doesn't make it not littering kek

>>20214327
>I have never eaten or seen anyone eating a fish head pie in the UK or eels.
I live in the UK. I absolutely love to have smoked eel at Christmas. It's expensive, so it's a treat. I have to order it specially online these days.

Checks out

They weren't stealing the food a potato virus for the genus of potato in Ireland began spreading and the Irish were too retarded to vary their diet or move to the coast to fish. Coastal Irish survived. Rural Irish didn't.

>>20211392
Yeah OK Buffallo Bill

the recipe was created by witches, they probably shove the heads up their puss.

>>20211471
also much of the traditional food was killed by the ww2 rationing that continued for literally 9 fucking years after the end of the war because socialists in Britain are fucking stupid.

>>20210965
no, you discard the head. while you bake the fat in them renders down into the pie, after it's out of the oven the heads have served their purpose

>>20217510
>move to the coast and fish
with what money? with what knowledge and skills?

>>20217724
As he said, “too retarded”. You must be Irish lol

>>20217804
>just move to the coast and go fishing
