Foodie served traditional UK dish by British cousin and brands it 'inedible'
One person from overseas who was trying out British cuisine and was left less than impressed by their meal that their cousin from the UK served them up as they posted about it online
Brits are known for several British staples such as fish and chips, roast dinners and Full English breakfasts. However, one person from overseas who was trying out the cuisine was left less than impressed by their meal that their cousin from the UK served them.
The person, known as Sosa, took to X to share a photo of the meal in question, which was a battered sausage, chips and mushy peas. And people left shocked by the peas in particular, as many were shocked by their vibrant green colour. Sosa captioned the photo: "My British cousin just made me this..."
Some said the dish looked 'inedible', while others said the peas looked like could be melted plastic.
One person asked: "Is it radioactive?," while another added: "I wouldn't eat that."
A third chimed in: "I ain't eating that green thing," while someone else said: "Pretty sure that's just melted plastic on the plate."
Even some Brits were taken aback by the meal, as one UK citizen said: "Even as a Brit I don't f**k with this."
Meanwhile another Brit guessed the meal hadn't been cooked by their cousin and had come from a fish and chip shop instead, as they wrote: "Definitely didn't make it unless he's a cook in a chippy."
Despite the shock over the colour of the peas, some people admitted they would still eat it.
Many people often document themselves trying food while in another country these days, including one American who recently tried a British roast dinner for the first time.
AJ Slambino had a full roast including all the trimmings and even pigs in blankets. However, he was put off by the mint sauce on his plate as he slammed the "vinegar taste" of it.

Protesters say Jeff Bezos's Venice wedding highlights growing inequality
About a dozen Venetian organisations – including housing advocates, anti-cruise ship campaigners and university groups – have united to protest over the multi-day event under the banner 'No Space for Bezos', a play on words also referring to the bride's recent space flight. They have staged small-scale protests, unfurling anti-Bezos banners on famous Venetian sites. They were joined this week by Greenpeace and the British group Everyone Hates Elon, which has smashed Teslas to protest against Elon Musk, to unfurl a giant banner in St Mark's Square protesting over purported tax breaks for billionaires. 'If you can rent Venice for your wedding you can pay more tax,' read the banner, which featured a huge image of Mr Bezos. Police quickly took it away. There has been no comment from Mr Bezos's representatives on the protests. The local activists had planned a more organised protest for Saturday, aiming to obstruct access to canals with boats to prevent guests from reaching a wedding venue. Then they modified the protest to a march from the train station after claiming a victory, asserting that their pressure forced organisers to change the venue to the Arsenale, a more easily secured site beyond Venice's congested centre. 'It will be a strong, decisive protest, but peaceful,' said Federica Toninello, an activist with the Social Housing Assembly network. 'We want it to be like a party, with music, to make clear what we want our Venice to look like.' Among the 200 guests confirmed to be attending the wedding are Sir Mick Jagger, Ivanka Trump, Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry and Leonardo DiCaprio. Venice, renowned for its romantic canal vistas, hosts hundreds of weddings each year, not infrequently those of the rich and famous. Previous celebrity weddings, such as that of George Clooney to human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin in 2014, were embraced by the public. Hundreds turned out to wish the couple well at City Hall. Mr Bezos has a different political and business profile, said Tommaso Cacciari, a prominent figure in the movement that successfully pushed for a ban on cruise ships over 25,000 tons travelling through the Giudecca Canal in central Venice. 'Bezos is not a Hollywood actor,' Mr Cacciari said. 'He is an ultra-billionaire who sat next to Donald Trump during the inauguration, who contributed to his re-election and is contributing in a direct and heavy way to this new global obscurantism.' Critics also cite Amazon's labour practices, ongoing tax disputes with European governments and Mr Bezos's political associations as additional reasons for concern. Activists also argue that the Bezos wedding exemplifies broader failures in municipal governance, particularly the prioritisation of tourism over residents' needs. They cite measures such as the day-tripper tax – which critics argue reinforces Venice's image as a theme park – as ineffective. Chief among their concerns is the lack of investment in affordable housing and essential services. City officials have defended the wedding. Mayor Luigi Brugnaro called the event an honour for Venice, and the city denied the wedding would cause disruptions. 'Venice once again reveals itself to be a global stage,' Mr Brugnaro told The Associated Press, adding he hoped to meet Mr Bezos while he was in town. Meanwhile, a Venetian environmental research association, Corila, issued a statement saying Mr Bezos's Earth Fund was supporting its work with an 'important donation'. Corila, which unites university scholars and Italy's main national research council in researching Venetian protection strategies, would not say how much Mr Bezos was donating but said contact began in April, well before the protests started.

Louise Thompson finally shares her true feelings about Sam's ex Zara McDermott
Sam Thompson and Zara McDermott dated for five years before going their separate ways in December last year, with the Love Island star moving on with Louis Tomlinson Louise Thompson has finally shared what she thinks about her brother Sam Thompson's ex-girlfriend, Zara McDermott. The couple dated for five years before going their separate ways in December last year, with the Love Island star moving on with One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson. Documentary maker Zara and former Made In Chelsea star Louise spent a lot of time hanging out while she was still dating Sam. And now, she hit back at fans who claimed she 'disliked' Zara after making a comment about wanting him to date 'someone she could get along with' on a recent episode of Sam's Staying Relevant podcast. In the episode that aired earlier this week, Louise said: "I'd love for you to try dating someone that has a normal job, that's outside of the media space. I think that could be exciting... "You definitely need somebody that slightly puts you in your place, so who's gonna talk back to you, and not let you get away with everything..." She added: "If you're going to go down the fame route, can you just find someone that I would get along with. I'm thinking young British actress," before suggesting he date Emma Watson. Some thought the comment was aimed at Zara, with one person commenting on the official post that Louise "didn't like Zara very much". The user said: "I don't think Louise really ever liked Zara… don't blame her." But Louise quickly shut down the comment by responding: "I have to interject here. I actually really adored Zara." Sam recently said he 'panicked' ahead of possible run-in with Louis at Soccer Aid this month. Sam admitted he felt a wave of panic at the thought of a potential run-in with Louis during Soccer Aid with behind-the-scenes tensions bubbling long before the match. The reality star revealed he was caught off guard months ago when asked how he'd feel sharing a pitch with the One Direction singer. 'I panicked and thought, 'I don't have this,'' he explained on his Staying Relevant podcast. "So I said, 'It's not about me and Louis. It's not about who's dating who - it's UNICEF, it's charity.' 'Everyone's here for the same reason: to raise money. And if he's got anything about him, which I've heard he does, he'll say the same.' Sam and Zara, who met in 2019 after she shot to fame on Love Island, broke up briefly before getting back together but called time on their relationship for good in December. She's since moved on with Louis, though the new couple have kept things quiet publicly – with Louis only briefly featuring on Zara's Instagram during a romantic trip in the US earlier this year.
