That's good to know on both dishes. I didn't know mushy peas were made with a different kind, and from what other commenters said the snails might actually not be that bad. Certainly no less strange than eating ~~ocean bugs~~ lobster or crab if you really think about it.

If I'm ever in an opportunity to try either I'd definitely give them a go at least once. My initial comment was, while uneducated, mostly a light riff on the local cuisines. I feel like I maybe should have deleted it when I saw it was to a UK-specific sub, but I guess it turned into a learning experience so it's not all bad in hindsight!

To be honest, if you're in a chippy and you only have a chance to have one side with your food you should get curry sauce instead of mushy peas, it's the best!

You definitely shouldn't have deleted it, nobody is going to take offence at a joke about food. Just wouldn't want you to miss out!
