My assumption is mushy peas, you can look it up, I didn't just make up a gross sounding food! It's apparently served with fish and chips.

I don't need to look it up, I'm British lol. I just wouldn't consider mushy peas 'plain bean flavour ' or a sauce!

Exactly. Mushy peas are a side, not a sauce. And they aren’t bean flavour, they taste like mushy peas. It’s like saying an apple is apple flavour.

Ah okay, what do you think they were referring to then? I assumed mushy peas since it says in the comic that it's served with fish and chips and you can see it in two small bowls. Is there a bean based food eaten with fish and chips? If not, the comic probably means mushy peas like I said. It seems to have been written by someone who isn't British and people can make mistakes with food from other cultures.

For what it's worth, I've been to the UK and liked the food and have a British cook book so I'm not insulting your food, I was just amused/baffled by that line in the comic.
