@aesthr It's beautiful isn't it? Like. I cannot tell if this is humour or a dead serious attempt at fish and chips without knowing what it is. We're still chuckling at this an hour later

@Amorpheus @valcurious @aesthr There is no such thing as "Spaghetti Bolognese". Italians view that abomination exactly like Brits do the "Chips" here.
