pub grub

just wondering what food you enjoy, or might enjoy, in a pub

i like sliders. meatball sliders, pulled pork sliders, some sort of slow cooked lamb sliders. i like small things at a pub. something that isn't going to be too much of a hassle to eat. another thing i like is fries with an entire menu of sauces to dip them in. lots of salt everywhere too. is "gastropub" a widely used term in the UK? there's a somewhat shitty gastropub here in denver but it's nothing like what you can eat in new york. but still they have a good pork belly dish that i crave sometimes. mmm small plates.

yeah i think fred summed it up. small, convenient servings. meaty. but i could also go for a burger once and a while.

but fries with a different dip for each fry.... that shit is amazing.

and wings. hot and sloppy with blue cheese and celery.

i really enjoy drinking

second. buffalo wings

yea i suppose gastropubs are widespread. list sauces!

if possible i will always order chowder or beef and guinness pie, depending on if the pub is near the sea or not.

and a pint of guinness.

a good rule of thumb in ireland is the further you get from a large urban conglomeration, the better the guinness will be.

i usually just get a burger or something. the pub at the end of my street does an amazing lamb burger, it comes with big wedges of deep fried eggplant. there's also a nice pub nearby that has a good selection of gourmet pizzas, nice for a hungover saturday/sunday afternoon.

fuck. i've not seen any pubs in australia with more than say, 3 different kinds of dips.

they slide right down

sliders are teeny tiny 4:1 scale hamburgers and cheeseburgers.

i dearly wish we had them on this side of the pond.

Poutine!

^ saved me some typing. chowder or cullen skink! sometimes i'd get nachos or a good burger if it's freshly made.

strange, never known chowder as pub food. we serve poutine! sliders sound good

cullen skink is staple pub grub here. smoked haddock, leaks, onions, potatoes & cream. slab of nice bread. so tasty

another favourite of mine is a steak sandwich with caramelised red onions and horseradish or mustard mayo

With a little research, sliders shouldn't be too tough to DIY - you might have to improvise a bit for the bun but other than that they're not a particularly difficult thing to cook.

and cullen skink sounds like the bassist from an irish punk band

edit: it also sounds delicious. i'm still trying to perfect my potato leek soup. i'm thinking of using a ham hock next time.

thread needs more pics.

here are some sliders...

southwestern style eggrolls are always welcome

potato nachos

I don't eat many meals in a pub, but if I do it'll most likely be a burger of some sort. I've always liked burgers in country pubs, usually lamb burgers or something equally delicious.

I like cheesy chips.

fish n chips

toad in a hole

bangers n mash

chutney n chips (lol)

pork pie and branston pickle

pints:

well here in mtl, the only decent pint I can get is either Guinness or Newcastle Brown Ale

back in uk: spitfire, wherry, fullers porter, fosters (loll), etc

Burgers are usually win, sliders, fries, onion rings. There's a nice British-style pub down the road from me a ways that was opened up by an older british couple that makes a mean fish n chips. I'll also have to look into the dip situation. Wash it down with a nice stout and I'm cool.
