something daft already!! · 23 Jul 2018 at 14:09

I prefer Cheesy peas. If you like peas and you like cheese, you'll like cheesy peas.

No it's not a cultural appropriation story.

She's basically complaining the dish is made wrong..... I mean why this is news is beyond me.

You reckon they'd run with the story if I, a straight white male, gets irked when I order a steak & kidney pie or pudding in a restaurant and what I get is a bowl of stew with a pastry or suet lid?

I live with a Spanish woman and every time I have Paella she tells me it's not really a Paella and pretty much everything sold as Paella in the UK isn't

She can get in the kitchen and make a proper one, then....

Why do people go out of their way to feel offended and victimised?

Most Jamaican pasties are quite different to Cornish pasties, despite being originally based on them. Shock! Horror! I'm so offended that someone could commit the heinous sin of changing a recipe while not trying to pass it off as the original! What a terrible thing!

Yeah, you're only three days too late.

How can a dish be made "wrong", it's just a variant of it or do certain meals have to made only the one way for some strange reason.

Chefs always play with things, sometimes it works sometimes not but in this case I can see why they thought garden peas would appeal to a wider market, kidney beans are just blurgh.

If I give you a bacon sandwich, made with lima beans sandwiched between two slices of marrow, is that just a variant of a bacon sandwich?

Bad example, given the dish is actually called rice and peas, not rice and beans

Rice and "pea" is kidney beans, not peas.

Why does this bother you?

Nope, it's pigeon peas, kidney beans are not correct either.

Same principle, just the inverse, in this case.

If you get offended by this, then you need to get a life.

I'm more concerned by bavarian leberkase, or in the direct translation "liver cheese" which contains neither liver nor cheese.

it tastes bloody great though, so I'm fine with it.

or ricotta. Also depends if it's baked or unbaked cheesecake.

it does, although i don't like it quite as much as the bavarians, they don't seem to understand that a "small slice" doesn't mean "3/4" slab"
