OH!!! I lived in England for almost 10 years and I was always mystified by the existence of this strange food but you’re telling me this whole time it was just snow peas?!? Blowing my mind

This is a huge part of British cultural memory, living on through Only Fools and Horses as it's an OFAH catchphrase, even if don't know the veg. I heard an Australian pronounce it as mange (like the skin disease) tout (like the scalper).More OFAH French for your delectation youtu.be/g93RycMBaYM?...

Pronounced that in my brain as “mang-ah-toots” instead of anything remotely French

Do they also use "mangepois" for a mix of anything and everything available?

Is that French for eat-alls?

Always amazed that the replies to a post about the differences between British and American food are some of the most unwarrantedly insulting things I ever see on this site 😂 Is there something about US people on BSky that’s selecting for “any opportunity to insult the British”?

British people love tossing in French vegtable words; see also “aubergine”

Don't the brits also call a turnip a "swede"?
