chess after dinner
Meals before a game
Sort:
Well, I always have a coffee before a game :)
Coffee, and something lite.
I tried pouring some coffee into my chess computer, but it didn't improve it. Quite the reverse, in fact.

Is this a movie reference?
not that I'm aware of, however I haven't seen them all so it could be.
Mushy peas don't sound very appetizing but then again I haven't tried them.
Mushy peas are lovely!

1 A type of food; it is made from a pig’s heart, liver and the fat belly meat, minced and mixed together with breadcrumbs and herbs for seasoning. The mixture is then shaped into balls each of which is wrapped in caul fat from the pig’s omentum, each of these individual balls is a faggot. They are then cooked and served in a thick gravy with peas and mashed potatoes.
I was going to edit that to make it more... humorous... but I wouldn't want to cause a moderator to clutch her pearls
But in other words, you take the nastiest parts of a pig that no one wants to eat, add heavy seasoning, smother it in gravy, and real food into the mix, and it's apparently edible.

well you see back in ww2 us brits had what you called rationing, where all food was scarce and meat was in particular scarce. So the people were in a bit of a bind either starve to death or be a bit less fussy about what they ate suffice to say most people decided that the latter was the best option. some of the offal dishes they had to endure ( you know because of the war and the bombing and the convoy attacks etc) turned out to not be quite so bad after all and some of it stuck to this day but you will find that other cuts of meat are used these days instead of the nastiest part of the pig no one wants to eat.

That makes a lot of sense, I didn't think how dishes could be holdovers from war time.
Now I'm thinking about other countries people in the US might make fun of like China for eating certain animals... but if starvation is part of your culture (more so in China than England) then like you said, I suppose people are not so picky.
I usually have faggots, chips and mushy peas.
Lovely!
