Shitake mushroom is also the bomb… so much umami (and possible adaptogenic properties)!
Roasted garlic and onions chopped up is delicious too
I don’t know if I want to ask what brown sauce is. Does it involve an ass?
It tastes like it. I don’t know why we continue to allow this abomination.

It can’t be worse than bear gallblader juices can it?
It’s basically tomatoes, vinegar and fruity stuff I think. It’s brown.

That’s not a taste test I’m willing to subject myself to, but Its probably comparable.
It’s what @mattjp describes, although that doesn’t quite capture the awfulness of it.
I prefer brown sauce over tomato sauce, especially with bacon.

When fruit andtomatoes go brown, they’re rotten. I guess the vinegar’s there to kill the germs?
Of course, two of my favorite delicacies are basically moldy tofu and eggs preserved in calking lime, so I guess I don’t have the right to talk shit about this mysterious brown sauce
You are a man of taste.
This is objectively correct.
Chòudòufu was one hell of an experience for me I can say that much. I can see how it would be good once you’re used to it, though. I’m pretty into pungent flavour experiences.

@mattjp @yorkshireiron @kd13. Respectfully, your taste buds are lying to you. Brown sauce is not a reasonable substitute for ketchup in the same way that cheese and onion is not a reasonable substitute for salt and vinegar.

You’re bang on about cheese and onion. Fraud of a crisp flavour.
Ketchup is basically just sugar with zero flavour. I only ever have it at the chipper. Goes without saying salt & vinegar is the GOAT crisp flavour.
We should stop now though before Colucci quarantines us to a British Cuisine thread.

I was under the impression that Hell was already going to have good food, no?
Nah, but it will have good company.
Yeah but super-long chopsticks.
