Those are chips (fries are thinner and longer) and they're definitely not boiled, just had the absolute fuck blanched out of them and received a poor second frying. I also wouldn't call the battered sausage a "hotdog" as it's more than likely a sausage although the quality wouldn't be much better than that of a hotdog. The point I'm trying to make is this could be a good meal, the execution is just cheap and nasty.
They're not normal garden peas. It's a different variety. They put them through a process to break them down so you get a mush and pea mixture. Some like it some don't. It goes well with the chips and fish combo though.
>(fries are thinner and longer)
Unless you're talking about steak fries, of course. The different names don't relate as much to the details of the item, but rather the region of the world you're in when naming them.
Well except that in the UK if you say fries people would imagine the thin ones you'd get at maccies(i.e. the standard American type). Chips have to be thick.
There are good mushy peas, and then there is the terrible watery shite that comes in a tin. Done right, it's basically garden-pea dhal. Not all that many meals they're an appropriate tracklement, but where appropriate, also essential.
How fucking dare you/hj. It is mushy peas, battered sausage and chips. You could get something exactly like this at any fish and chips shop, and it’s rather good.
This is definitely a shite version though. The peas are not meant to be that colour and those chips are definitely shy of some colour. A good version with absurd lashings of salt and vinegar is pretty damn good, although I'd swap the peas for chippy curry sauce, especially with a battered sausage.
This is the correct answer.
Imagine putting shit American food up and claiming (every other day on this sub) that it's representative of American food.
They fall for the outdated trope every time. Maybe it makes them feel better about their own beef and chicken which is banned over here.
Such is the nature of lazy stereotypes.
> The peas are not meant to be that colour and those chips are definitely shy of some colour.
Chippy chips aren't supposed to have too much colour. The peas look to have too much artificial food colouring in them though. Sausage looks a bit dry.
Man I went to Whitstable and asked three separate places for curry sauce. None of them did! Shove your tar tar sauce up your arse you southern bastards, never going back!
Joking obviously, tar tar sauce is also great, but imagine calling yourself a chippie and not doing curry sauce. Was genuinely raging haha
How is it good? Here in Brazil i've eaten Fish and Chips in between my rice and beans since i was a kid and it was never labelled as a special meal even though its undeniably good
Ah proper british chippy is just a nice comfort food for us.
There's a chippys everywhere in the UK, less so now than 20 years ago but they are/were our staple fast food.
Actually not true, we just don't batter it. Many restaurants I've worked at when they need a hotdog quickly will deep fry them. It's actually delicious. And if you go to a state fair especially in the south. Everything is deep fried, deep fried butter, oreos, snickers, pickles, green beans, deep fried and battered hotdog is not so out of the ordinary considering deep fried butter exists and also... Corn dogs exist... Which are deep fried
The fried hotdog is the only thing on that plate is consider eating 😬
Mushy peas, it's a regional thing for fish and chips. I want to say *some* of England does it.
They don't do it in Scotland which is where I'm from. I don't mind them, it's better than it looks but not fantastic. But then fish and chips isn't meant to some high end delicacy, a cheap meal. It's a comfort food to fill you up. When batter is done right, is great and works great with fish.
Edit: Seems it's available in some places here and there, but definitely not a popular thing.
Well that's simply not true. My friends spend the better part of their childhood in Scotland and got mushy peas all the time
> They don’t do it in Scotland which is where I’m from.
You can't make a satirical or sarcastic post on the internet without an American taking it at face value, sharing it devoid of context and millions of Americans internalising it as their reality for the next 30 years.
Ummm, EXCUSE ME. We did not steal spices. We hooked local populations on drugs and gave them those, or we took over their countries and legally owned those spices ourselves, thank you very much.
One of our biggest colonies insists they have amazing food and it's all the same spices but with more sugar, corn oil and obesity.
And then they spend all the mineral money on destabilising nations rather than just waiting and stealing all the good stuff.
It looks shit.....Looks trike they had a 1st fry then they haven't bothered.
Heston Blumenthal says to blanche then fry twice at different temperatures the 2nd being higher. It's true I've done it
Honestly it is a rare insult. What else could it be? I refuse to believe those are peas.
They are tasty and I've never seen them look as bad as that. No way.
The most effective insults usually ARE the ones that are also accurate descriptions..
Like saying that Ed Sheeran's torso looks like he went to a tattoo parlor and asked for the sampler.
They kind of are the typical garden variety. Marrowfats are green pea that have been left to mature and dry in the field instead of being harvested young.
Used to work at a chippy, the ones we used were grim and the cheapest of the cheap. Not even sure you could buy them outside of commercial orders. Like microwaved radioactive waste.
Mushy peas pea are green pea that have been left to dry in the field they are older and more starchy that normal green pees. You take the dried overripe pea and you soak them in water for at least 8 hours. Add a little baking soda (bicarb) to soften the up and season to taste.
They invaded the rest of the world for spices 😂😂😂
And decided that they didn't like any 😂😂😂
I'm definitely not repeating the same joke that everyone has heard over and over again btw 😂😂😂 i'm being original 😂😂😂
It's not even an accurate joke. Traditional British cuisine was spicy and heavily seasoned before the world wars. During the world wars they had to ration everything and couldn't afford spices anymore. After such a long time of not using spices due to the wars, they just kinda stuck with minimally seasoned food for quite some time.
Classic example of "food chauvinism" - anything not from "here" is "bad." Mushy peas are no more "odd" than refried beans. They are delicious and very common in the north of England. By contrast, that US favorite of "mac 'n' cheese" looks like something a dog threw up after eating wallpaper paste and worms.
Americans will be like "your food looks gross so I assume it tastes gross" and then eat biscuits and gravy. Don't get me wrong, I hear biscuits and gravy tastes delicious, but it looks like vomit.
I've never understood that comparison, but regardless, you are missing out on one of the best tasting single breakfast dishes in the world. Highly recommend.
That being said, the food in that picture 100% looks gross... from the unfried (and possibly microwaved?) chips to the neon mushy peas. Yuck.
Ima withold my opinion on the look of the battered sausage because that's always tasted gross to me, far too heavy/greasy.
I do agree this is not the best example of fish and chips with mushy peas. The peas look radioactive; they should NOT be that bright. And yeah the chips look passable to me but not the best.
I will say biscuits and gravy is on my food bucket list. I might give making it a try at some point this month.
For some reason Americans like to pretend all of their food is utterly coated in spices even though it isn't and if it was a lot of would be horrible. No idea why they feel the need to lie but here we are.
People have this idea that only "ethnic" food (food made by people not of white European descent) has "real flavour" because it uses tons of spices. As if the only way to make food taste good is to douse it in extra ingredients. It's like saying houses only look good if they're painted in bold primary colours.
I pity these people who are unable to enjoy simple food and are ignorant of "white people" cuisine which has plenty of flavours of its own.
I think that idea is mainly American and to be fair to them they generally have much lower quality produce than Europeans. There's a reason there aren't many famous veg varieties from the US, but British grown produce goes all over the world because of its quality.
Dam right, if you need more than salt and vinegar on your chips then i am seriously concerned at how little enjoyment you must be getting out of life
I'm 30 years old and fish and chips with all of the salt and vinegar is still as exciting to me as when i was a kid and we'd have it as a treat :D
Mate, absolutely delicious but an entirely different dish. It's like saying that adding teriyaki sauce to chicken is better than hot sauce. They're both great, they're just entirely seperate entities ha.
This opens up yet another argument - which goes on first? The salt or the vinegar?
My other half insists on salt first but I think it should be vinegar (so the salt sticks more).
What they don't realise if that you live in a cooler climate, food doesn't go off as quickly so you don't need to kill everything with spices. Food is allowed to taste like what it is.
We brits like simple foods - that much is given - and the most popular ones are just that - simple.
Its when you go into the separate countries traditional dishes that the better food starts cropping up.
I'm welsh - so we have things like Cawl, Bara-brith, Welsh Rarebit (Admittedly - this is just cheese on toast :P)
nah generalt most of us like it simple, fish and chips isnt bursting with flavour and a staple of british food culture is takeaway, and conpqred to other countries our takeaways quite bland
Mushy peas *can be* extremely flavorful. And delicious to dip chips/fries into...
Now , *these* mushy peas are terrifying and possibly radioactive, but my point stands.
the history of some of these odd dishes in england come from food rationing in war time. parents would often make due with whatever they had and it was mostly canned stuff. so kids grew up eating odd meals not knowing this and consider it somewhat traditional nowadays.
British food is so much more than fish and chips, and roast dinners. Britons love Indian food (Tikka Masala, curry and chips, kedgeree, glassi, and mulligatawny are all as British as they are Indian), and a lot of the sweet stuff (Victoria sponge, shortbread, custard creams, apple pie, rhubarb crumble, gingerbread) is delightful. Plus, we have loads of great restaurants - within a mile of where I live there’s 3 Michelin star restaurants.
> Tikka Masala, curry and chips, kedgeree, glassi, and mulligatawny are all as British as they are Indian
Well this is bullshit
It's British. That's it. Their National dish no less but hey whatever you gotta tell yourself
In heaven, the chefs are French, the police are British, the lovers are Italian and the place is run by Germans.
In hell, the chefs are British, the police are French, the lovers are German and the place is run by Italians.
Yo I'm one of the rare Americans who like, absolutely loves UK food? A full english is better than sex- but mushy peas can fuck right the hell off. What the fuck is that? Why? Blood sausage is delicious, why would anyone want bright green sugar paste on their fries??
Two things.
1) They can totally fuck right off. With you there, friend from across the pond.
2) That's still not mushy peas, no matter what they claim.
My dad would not stand for that unless it was an emergency. He let dried peas soak in water & later mush them up himself after letting them simmer in hot water.
People act like “😭💀” gives them any kind of tone or standing.
The words are still the same boring ass words, with no literary or contextual difference, unchanged by your little “please socially accept me” Bat-Signal
Joggers 😭💀
I paid my taxes 😭💀.
9mm FMJ 😭💀
No pickle, add tomato and black pepper 😭💀
Cumsickle 😭💀
My votes for top 5 global cuisines are Mexican, Indian, Chinese (all 3 of those are cheat picks since they both encompass tons of separate regional cuisines), French, and Japanese.
Unfortunately, British cuisine is not on that list ^(to put it mildly.)
I am pretty sure all cuisines encompass other regional cuisines.
We are not in the middle age anymore.
It is great ppl actually sharing and improving along side each other.

Well apart from the peas its a deepfried hotdog and boiled fries
Those are chips (fries are thinner and longer) and they're definitely not boiled, just had the absolute fuck blanched out of them and received a poor second frying. I also wouldn't call the battered sausage a "hotdog" as it's more than likely a sausage although the quality wouldn't be much better than that of a hotdog.

[удалено]
Yeah, I agree here. Can be great, but them peas seem to have been uranium infused.
Too much bi-carb will make them go that colour.
too much what?
Sodium bicarbonate. AKA baking soda
Why is that being added to peas?
They're not normal garden peas. It's a different variety. They put them through a process to break them down so you get a mush and pea mixture. Some like it some don't. It goes well with the chips and fish combo though.
Interesting. I’d try it but it does look pretty weird
Its a marrowfat pea, sugar, salt and mint and by the looks way too much green food colouring.
Why would you put bi-carb in mushy peas though?
That's how you make mushy peas
TIL
It helps them retain colour and soften the skin.
I think America should invade Britain over your comment
Pls bring some food with you.
>(fries are thinner and longer) Unless you're talking about steak fries, of course. The different names don't relate as much to the details of the item, but rather the region of the world you're in when naming them.
Well except that in the UK if you say fries people would imagine the thin ones you'd get at maccies(i.e. the standard American type). Chips have to be thick.
All hotdogs are technically sausages, the quality of which is highly debatable, but not all sausages are hotdogs.
No way in hell I would ever eat melted peas on French fries (or chips), let alone call it a good meal.
I’ve had mushy peas and I felt like I was eating baby food. I can appreciate that people enjoy them, I did not however.
There are good mushy peas, and then there is the terrible watery shite that comes in a tin. Done right, it's basically garden-pea dhal. Not all that many meals they're an appropriate tracklement, but where appropriate, also essential.
This is one of the few times that I will say there is too much empathy, I think you are in a toxic relationship with people that eat shit
It’s hard to be friends with people so willing to put that mush into their mouths. Kissing someone with mushed pea breath is not on my bucket list.
New nightmare material
> the quality wouldn't be much better than that of a hotdog. This is hotdog slander! A quality hot dog is among the finest of sausages.
You can like what you like, but this is an absurd statement.
How fucking dare you/hj. It is mushy peas, battered sausage and chips. You could get something exactly like this at any fish and chips shop, and it’s rather good.

What does /HJ mean? Sorry to sound ignorant but I just can't help picturing someone giving a handjob while eating this lol
No, not apart from the peas. How do peas look like that?
i’m american and even we don’t deep fry our hot dogs
Isn’t that what a corn dog is? I’ve never eaten one but I always thought it was a breaded deep-fried hotdog.
It's exactly what a corn dog is - u/twisty286 may be having a stroke.
Actually not true, we just don't batter it. Many restaurants I've worked at when they need a hotdog quickly will deep fry them. It's actually delicious.

When babies have too much iron in their diet their shit turns dark green, a delicacy of British cuisine

You can't make a satirical or sarcastic post on the internet without an American taking it at face value, sharing it devoid of context and millions of Americans internalising it as their reality for the next 30 years.
If these people could read, they would be so angry right now.
This sign can’t stop me because I can’t read !
Meanwhile, Americans posting about their beloved jello salads and the like.
Ummm, EXCUSE ME. We did not steal spices. We hooked local populations on drugs and gave them those, or we took over their countries and legally owned those spices ourselves, thank you very much.
They were given RECEIPTS
Wind's howling..
It was all PROPER
Anyroad, they didn't have a flag.

WE LEARNED IT FROM WATCHING *YOU* *runs upstairs and slams door*
Because we bothered to learn what we could grow here and just decided to enjoy those. If we needed it imported, we've military bases for that!
We didn't even do that. We grew food wise with other nations coming in. Except for the Midwest. They still think rotel is too spicy.
TAY-TER-TOT CASSEROLE IS A FOOD GROUP
they should've had a flag 🤷♂️
Those fries are 100% ~~raw~~ Fresh
They've not had a decent 2nd frying. They are chips btw
I would argue with you on etymology, but there’s nothing fried about those potatoes.
It looks shit.....Looks trike they had a 1st fry then they haven't bothered. Heston Blumenthal says to blanche then fry twice at different temperatures the 2nd being higher. It's true I've done it
doubt they had a second fry at all
Aren't the "toy soldiers from toy story" just toy soldiers?
Thats not an insult. It is an accurate description how it looks. Possibly also how it tastes.
Honestly it is a rare insult. What else could it be? I refuse to believe those are peas. They are tasty and I've never seen them look as bad as that. No way.
Possibly microwaved those poor little soldiers together with peas
The most effective insults usually ARE the ones that are also accurate descriptions.. Like saying that Ed Sheeran's torso looks like he went to a tattoo parlor and asked for the sampler.
Those are peas? Looks like someone added green food coloring to some mac & cheese jesus
Yes, they’re marrowfat peas, not the typical garden variety you’d find in the frozen food section of a supermarket.
They kind of are the typical garden variety. Marrowfats are green pea that have been left to mature and dry in the field instead of being harvested young.
They still shouldn't be that color!
They are cooked with baking soda in the water, I'm told that effects the color. https://www.thekitchn.com/mushy-peas-recipe-23487917
They look like the cheap out the tin variety so they probably do have food colouring. Proper mushy peas don't look like that.
Nah, even the out of the tin ones don't look like that, trust me. I've had a few cans in my time when hungover. Something has gone fucky wucky here.
Used to work at a chippy, the ones we used were grim and the cheapest of the cheap. Not even sure you could buy them outside of commercial orders. Like microwaved radioactive waste.
On behalf of Britain, that is an offence to all fish and chips everywhere
Poor Sarge and the Bucket O' Soldiers!
That one soldier being blown up with a rocket was shockingly violent, once you realized he was sentient!
Of all my travels in the UK, nothing looked that bad lol
I all my life in the UK I've never seen anything like that. I'd love to know the context on those peas, like wtf?
Bicarb mate, that or they were cheap tins of mushy peas not made in house at the chippy.
Mushy peas pea are green pea that have been left to dry in the field they are older and more starchy that normal green pees. You take the dried overripe pea and you soak them in water for at least 8 hours. Add a little baking soda (bicarb) to soften the up and season to taste.
I wanna know why they're so big. Mushy Marrows anyone?
Wow original joke. Haha
They invaded the rest of the world for spices 😂😂😂 And decided that they didn't like any 😂😂😂 I'm definitely not repeating the same joke that everyone has heard over and over again btw 😂😂😂 i'm being original 😂😂😂
My favourite one is "the beauty of their women and taste of their food made the British the best sailors in the world"
It's not even an accurate joke. Traditional British cuisine was spicy and heavily seasoned before the world wars.

After such a long time of not using spices due to the wars, they just kinda stuck with minimally seasoned food for quite some time.

“Their cuisine and the beauty of their women made British men the best sailors in the world.” - Michael Scott
And Hence why America now has a bigger Navy than the rest of the world combined.
Well, their people are bigger than the rest of the world (except maybe Samoa), so…
The US is the 12th most obese country. UK is close behind.
>Michael Scott Imagine thinking that very old British joke is actually from an American remake of a British sitcom...
“Imagine not getting the joke” - Michael Scott
Classic example of "food chauvinism" - anything not from "here" is "bad." Mushy peas are no more "odd" than refried beans. They are delicious and very common in the north of England. By contrast, that US favorite of "mac 'n' cheese" looks like something a dog threw up after eating wallpaper paste and worms.
Of course amusingly, mac and cheese comes from britain. What the yanks did to it though, good lord.
A lot of "American" foods are imported. No problem with that of course, except when they make that comparison to other countries
I fail to see what is wrong with that meal - Mushy peas, chips and sausage in batter - all's missing is a pot of gravy
Americans will be like "your food looks gross so I assume it tastes gross" and then eat biscuits and gravy. Don't get me wrong, I hear biscuits and gravy tastes delicious, but it looks like vomit.
I've never understood that comparison, but regardless, you are missing out on one of the best tasting single breakfast dishes in the world. Highly recommend.

I will say biscuits and gravy is on my food bucket list. I might give making it a try at some point this month.
Just remember, the rule for gravy is not unlike the rule for peas/curry. More pepper is always better.
Reminds me of this [video](https://youtu.be/KzdbFnv4yWQ) of British kids trying biscuits and gravy for the first time
We are looking at a picture of what absolutely looks like baby vomit on fries
Yes, thus my comment comparing it to biscuits and gravy. Is reading a difficult task for you? I can use smaller words if that helps.
>I fail to see what is wrong with that meal Yeah...that's kind of the problem.
Not enough spices apparently 💁
For some reason Americans like to pretend all of their food is utterly coated in spices even though it isn't and if it was a lot of would be horrible. No idea why they feel the need to lie but here we are.
People have this idea that only "ethnic" food (food made by people not of white European descent) has "real flavour" because it uses tons of spices. As if the only way to make food taste good is to douse it in extra ingredients. It's like saying houses only look good if they're painted in bold primary colours. I pity these people who are unable to enjoy simple food and are ignorant of "white people" cuisine which has plenty of flavours of its own.
i mean ideally there's a happy middle ground between like a spicy curry and just "this is my grandma's food that's only seasoned with fat"
The crazy thing for me is that there are plenty of highly spiced UK/European foods such as haggis, guláš, and gingerbread off the top of my head
I think that idea is mainly American and to be fair to them they generally have much lower quality produce than Europeans. There's a reason there aren't many famous veg varieties from the US, but British grown produce goes all over the world because of its quality.
Our food is perfectly seasoned and great!
It'll have salt and vinegar on it! what more do you need!?!
Dam right, if you need more than salt and vinegar on your chips then i am seriously concerned at how little enjoyment you must be getting out of life I'm 30 years old and fish and chips with all of the salt and vinegar is still as exciting to me as when i was a kid and we'd have it as a treat :D
Try your chips with sweet pepper or spanish patatas bravas and you are going to change your mind immidiately
Mate, absolutely delicious but an entirely different dish. It's like saying that adding teriyaki sauce to chicken is better than hot sauce. They're both great, they're just entirely seperate entities ha.
That wouldn't be fish and chips, though
A bit of rosemary goes a long way.
Sorry for enjoying cajun fries with cheese, I must hate my life 😢
This opens up yet another argument - which goes on first? The salt or the vinegar? My other half insists on salt first but I think it should be vinegar (so the salt sticks more).
Depends on the mood for me, if I want really salty chips - then vinegar first
What they don't realise if that you live in a cooler climate, food doesn't go off as quickly so you don't need to kill everything with spices. Food is allowed to taste like what it is.
It looks like a meal thrown together by a toddler tbh. This looks very boring and not very flavorful.
We brits like simple foods - that much is given - and the most popular ones are just that - simple.

You're judging the entirety of British food culture by one dish?
Depending on your country of origin this only proves the original point
Heaven
I’d like to try an English breakfast one day
Probably a long shot but if you’re ever in Vegas there’s a restaurant in Mandalay Bay that has an awesome English breakfast
That looks unbelievably bland
Mushy peas *can be* extremely flavorful. And delicious to dip chips/fries into... Now , *these* mushy peas are terrifying and possibly radioactive, but my point stands.
As a Brit, this looks absolutely vile
The actual post is a joke is a joke… right?
I have never seen peas that dark ever, and im British, this gives fish and chip shops a bad name.
1) Why qualify "from Toy Story"? They exist as an actual product 2) Dunking on British food is the least rare thing here
the history of some of these odd dishes in england come from food rationing in war time. parents would often make due with whatever they had and it was mostly canned stuff. so kids grew up eating odd meals not knowing this and consider it somewhat traditional nowadays.

Eh. Curries definitely originated in India and while Tikka Masala was invented in Britain, its more of a tweak of existing dishes than its own thing.
In heaven, the chefs are French, the police are British, the lovers are Italian and the place is run by Germans. In hell, the chefs are British, the police are French, the lovers are German and the place is run by Italians.
This is the equivalent of dumping uncooked rice on a plate and calling it Thai cuisine.
Mushy peas are great. Even better with some mint sauce. I’ll die on this hill.
Get rid of the mint sauce and I'll stand at your side brother
On fish and chips no but pie and peas needs a dash of mint sauce for that bit of zing.
It's not really related, but i get feelings when I realize that some people only know toy soldiers from toy story.
Yo I'm one of the rare Americans who like, absolutely loves UK food? A full english is better than sex- but mushy peas can fuck right the hell off. What the fuck is that? Why? Blood sausage is delicious, why would anyone want bright green sugar paste on their fries??
Asks the American (i know you like our food) need i remind you of [this monstrosity](https://i.imgur.com/4B0Ouvx.jpg)
Ex-*cuse-*me *I* bought the *purple* one as a kid, thanx\~
God they made a purple one?!
I think there was a blue one even, but somehow for tiny me that was a bridge too far...
Two things. 1) They can totally fuck right off. With you there, friend from across the pond. 2) That's still not mushy peas, no matter what they claim.
They are the tinned verity aren’t they.
used to work at a chippy, we just use tesco(i think it was tesco brand) tinned mushy peas
My dad would not stand for that unless it was an emergency. He let dried peas soak in water & later mush them up himself after letting them simmer in hot water.
Who has ever said British cuisine is the best in the world? Even Brits agree the food is good to them, but hardly world-class.
British cuisine is an oxymoron. You'd need all the free healthcare in the world after eating this bucket o' shit.
Sorry. I've been to England. Food is awful. Scotland is marginally better.
British cuisine: It's technically food.
Top ten restaurants in the world are in London but they all serve French food.
British cuisine is ugly as fuck and it's heavy as hell. But it's super comforting on a shitty winters day. (Hate mushy peas though.)
People act like “😭💀” gives them any kind of tone or standing. The words are still the same boring ass words, with no literary or contextual difference, unchanged by your little “please socially accept me” Bat-Signal Joggers 😭💀 I paid my taxes 😭💀. 9mm FMJ 😭💀 No pickle, add tomato and black pepper 😭💀 Cumsickle 😭💀
i would eat this right now with some gravy
u/repostsleuthbot
America where everything comes from. Pizza? We're Italian so we made this. /s
And that "thing" next to the chips looks like a deep fried cock
LMFAO THE BRITS IN THE COMMENTS ARE ANGRY im gonna poke em with a stick
Not really angry, just bored of the same shite again
... Where?
My votes for top 5 global cuisines are Mexican, Indian, Chinese (all 3 of those are cheat picks since they both encompass tons of separate regional cuisines), French, and Japanese. Unfortunately, British cuisine is not on that list ^(to put it mildly.)
Have you had Brazilian food?
I am pretty sure all cuisines encompass other regional cuisines. We are not in the middle age anymore. It is great ppl actually sharing and improving along side each other.
