Real Mashed Potato

[DreamRider]

I can confirm unequivocally that Seven Seas Pub & Restaurant, south Warin Chamrap serves real mashed potato with their steaks chops and pies. Freshly made for each order. 

No; I’m not the owner!!! I just like it there.

With a steam and microwave combo a couple of minutes. 

 

Or Super heated steam a couple of minutes.

What's that?

I would take it easy on the OP. It took me some time to realize that The Swan in Buriram serves actual mashed potatoes, while many restaurants do not in Buriram. Yes it does take time and is worth the wait in my opinion. Good for Dream Rider to post where he also has found such a menu item.

Most modern ovens.  I have one. Superheated steam is an extremely high-temperature vapor generated by heating the saturated steam obtained by boiling water.

I presume the OP is a Brit, hence Mashed Potato.

I'm not a Brit, and I've always called them mashed potatoes. I have friends that I visit in the USA, and they call them mashed potatoes. What do you think non-Brits call them? Funny thing is that I thought Brits usually called them "mashed" and omitted the "potatoes" part.

Brits will sometimes shorten to "Mash". Not "Mashed". Otherwise they would use "mashed potato", without the "ES" and thus using it as an uncountable noun.

Actually, no.

 

"Mashed potato" is an uncountable noun and thus cannot have an "s" or, as in the case of a word ending in "O", an "es".

 

Ask your self this. When you go to a restaurant would ask for "'a mashed potato" or "some mashed potato"?

 

If you had finished your meal and wanted more would you ask for "some more mashed potato" or "another mashed potato"?

 

Brits will sometimes shorten to "Mash". Not "Mashed".

Huh? Since when can I not count potatoes? I can mash some potatoes. I'm certainly VERY WELL aware of countable nouns. Like some other food nouns, potato can be both countable and uncountable. I can have a couple of potatoes, or I can have some potato with my meal. That I am sure of, and I am also VERY sure that I will not get drawn into some silly hyper-pedantic discussion like this any deeper. ????

Brit here, pedantically, it would depend how many potatoes I used.

If I cut up and made mash with one big potato, that would be mashed potato.

If I only had small potatoes and used three for my mash, that would be mashed potatoes.

 

Although as a Brit, I would probably just call them 'mash'.

Bangers and mash

For mash get Smash 

etc.

British term is Mashed Potato, US and Canadians it’s Mashed Potatoes (as a rule) A further British colloquialism is “mash”. 

Here endeth the lesson!!!!

Spuds is also a North London football team, their only silverware this century

is winning the "we finished above arsenal"* trophy a couple of times!!

 

*Not a real trophy but something that means a lot for the poor dears:-)

 

Speaking of mash, mashed, spuds or whatever, I was in a santa fe place the

other day and had some kind of weird side dish with my pork chop, it took me a while

to realise it was supposed to be mash and gravy!

What a hilariously pedantic discussion.  LMAO   ONLY at TVF could it happen, I swear.  And of course, there's a good shot of smugness to give it the true TFV flavour.

Why do you make that assumption?    What does nationality have to do with it?

 

Is it because he wrote potato in the singular?

[MeePeeMai]

Damn this thread is making me hungry!

 

Best mashed potatoes in my book are made those with real cream and lots of butter ....with real bacon (large crispy bits) and chopped green onion or chives in it.  I can eat that until I get sick.  Gotta have a thick rare ribeye to go along with it though.

Passing back through to Buntarik I again stopped at the Seven Seas and was pleasantly surprised that they are now serving Faggots. 

Wrapped in bacon just like me Mum used to make, served with peas, Mashed Potato and rich gravy; superb

Must be a Brit thing. The sentence would have a different meaning to an American.
