The European mind cannot comprehend a tenderloin the size of a train wheel

harrysherlock.bsky.social•131 days ago

Why would we want to?! That's too much food!

mlip16.bsky.social•131 days ago

No it’s not. It probably a 12 oz piece of pork tenderloin just pounded to be paper thin

jonesm80.bsky.social•131 days ago

One day, when refrigeration reaches your shores, even folks like you can enjoy a tenderloin and take the bit you can't finish home to have the next day.

harrysherlock.bsky.social•131 days ago

Refrigeration was invented in Scotland. Literally on our shores! Lol

jonesm80.bsky.social•131 days ago

I always thought it was a joke about the British taking credit for all the stuff that was invented or created in Scotland.
Thanks for verifying that it's a real thing.

harrysherlock.bsky.social•131 days ago

Oh that's *very* real yeah, mmhmm. We're historically awful. You are finding no debate from me there.

inkana.bsky.social•131 days ago

^^wartime rationing mindset never left the brits

ninegod.bsky.social•131 days ago

Embrace abundance GB, you don't have to eat paper towels dipped in tea anymore

marmalard.bsky.social•131 days ago

In England you'd have to send two thirds of that to your feudal landlord.

harrysherlock.bsky.social•131 days ago

Yep that's true and if we don't, we get sent to the Tower of London and killed by a magpie pecking out our eyes, which are then given to the king.

harrysherlock.bsky.social•131 days ago

There's a middle ground between rationing and... that.

ninegod.bsky.social•131 days ago

You can't see it, but there are a few pickles under the bun. The merest bite of one of those pickles would explode your jaw like the guy cooking meth in that one ep of 1000 Ways To Die

harrysherlock.bsky.social•131 days ago

Okay, I know we're having a slightly comedic disagreement, but the reference to 1000 Ways To Die has won me over. What happened to that show?!

tonyperez34.bsky.social•131 days ago

There's a thing where you can take leftovers home, goofy.

nickrhodenomicon.bsky.social•131 days ago

To paraphrase a great philosopher, I will face god and walk backwards into hell munching on a piece of breaded meat that's bigger than my head and there's nothing you or the king can do about it.

harrysherlock.bsky.social•131 days ago

Hey man, you do you. Live your truth.

andrewreichart.bsky.social•131 days ago

This is basically just schnitzel tho (COYS)

mlip16.bsky.social•131 days ago

Not basically

It is schnitzel

chrisannethemum.bsky.social•131 days ago

As they should.

jayrigdon.bsky.social•131 days ago

You should know I'm reading everything you say on here as if it was spoken in Dick Van Dyke's Cockney accent

harrysherlock.bsky.social•131 days ago

I'll continue to read every American reply in Trump's voice 🤝

jayrigdon.bsky.social•131 days ago

Wots 'at then, 'arry?

harrysherlock.bsky.social•131 days ago

Big pork, huge, the biggest, it's unbelievable how big this pork is, it's gigantic, they said to me, they said, Mr. President, you've never seen pork as big as this

jdolbeer.bsky.social•131 days ago

I mean...

harrysherlock.bsky.social•131 days ago

You might have angered a few scousers here, who will say they are not English. It's a whole thing.

jdolbeer.bsky.social•131 days ago

well that was an unintentional grenade to land on hah.

but yeah, what seems like a third of footyscran is pretty obscene UK food.

lumberjackwharfie.bsky.social•131 days ago

Fried tenderloin sandwiches are fuckin awesome actually. Brits are on a millennia-long streak of contributing nothing in terms of cuisine.

harrysherlock.bsky.social•131 days ago

'Milennia' is wild lol

lumberjackwharfie.bsky.social•131 days ago

When was the last time someone on what are now the British Isles contributed something genuinely good to the world's cuisines?

harrysherlock.bsky.social•131 days ago

I don't track this shit bro, but I know for a fact cheddar cheese wouldn't exist if Britain didn't exist and that is a terrifying thought.

lumberjackwharfie.bsky.social•131 days ago

And nowadays you'd see something genuinely good made with cheddar cheese in Wisconsin and make a post like the one you made here bc you're scared of the idea that food can be good

harrysherlock.bsky.social•131 days ago

'Scared of the idea that food can be good'. What does that even mean bro. No all Brits *want* their food to taste terrible, yep, you've cracked it.

strayarc.bsky.social•131 days ago

They deep fried the Declaration of Independence?!

harrysherlock.bsky.social•131 days ago

That is fantastic work tbh

turbojunker.bsky.social•131 days ago

yeah because it sucks

otisbdriftwood.bsky.social•131 days ago

Having spent a bit of my formative stages traipsing around East Suffolk while in the USAF, I can say with a reasonable amount of certainty that the Brits would fry this massive colon clogger in the same oil they fry their cod.

(And yes - that is an obscene amount of product… half would suffice.)
