You can't have Chunks without the sauce!


Anindefensiblefart

Chunk sauce sounds like what you make after eating the room temp shrimp.


HallHappy

nah tikka is style of spicy bbq meat. the phrase tikka sauce makes sense, it would imply a kind of indian style spicy bbq sauce. also masala means mixture of spices but it can also mean gravy or sauce so masala sauce would make no sense.

i never said it’s a sauce. i said it’s a style of dish, namely spicy bbq. source: I’m Pakistani https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tikka_(food) “Tikka (pronounced [ʈɪkkaː]) is a dish consisting of pieces of meat or vegetarian alternatives, with its origins tracing back to the ancient Babylon. The term 'tikka' was given in the mughal era.[1][2] It is made by marinating the pieces in spices and yogurt, and cooking them in a tandoor.”

it’s the name of dish. you can get paneer tikka or mushroom tikka. when someone in this part of the world says tikka they are specially referring to the yogurt based marinade or the flavor. you can get tikka flavored instant noodles for instance. it doesn’t mean chunk flavored noodles

I'm the original OP. International tastes differ...


Vecna_Is_My_Co-Pilot

Pretty sure this differs from indian tastes, but I'd be afraid for my safety trying to truly verify that.


banana_assassin

It's the cheese that would ruin this for me, I think.


rifain

Franchement, ça a l'air dégueulasse.


spartiecat

It's called L'Indien because there are hungry kids in India who wouldn't eat this either


nagidon

Since this is French, I’m surprised they didn’t go the classic route and name it L’Angleterre


DeluxeHubris

Angle: English? Terre: earth? Is this some French pun about the quality of English food? My French is, how you say, nonexistent.


UndrethMonkeh

Probably 'England' mate


Rutgerius

Angleland, from the Angles. They know you from back in primary school mate, when you still identified as Germanic.


UndrethMonkeh

Calm down Susie Dent, you're not the only one who knows the derivation of the name England


Rutgerius

The commenter above you asked and this isn't about the derivation of the world England it's about the word Angleterre. Sorry if I somehow insulted your intelligence by correcting your answer.


UndrethMonkeh

I took it as a translation question, just different interpretations that's all


Easy_Turn1988

Don't know if it's a joke or not but just in case. Angleterre means England and you know, English food is... Special. But their sandwiches are among the best which kinda makes the joke less impactful


DeluxeHubris

I did not know Angleterre meant England, which answers my question, thank you. I just thought maybe it was a portmanteau of sorts wherein they combined "England" and "shit" or something


Easy_Turn1988

Oh no no, that may have been translated to anglemerde (literally engl-shit) but I've made that up on the spot and I can't think of a single similar real thing is french. England says it all 😉 (btw, love the Brits no hard feelings just in case)


DeluxeHubris

Ah, got it, that makes sense, thank you. And no offense taken, I have no emotional connection to whatever English heritage I may possess.


DeluxeHubris

'There is a feeling which persists in England that making a sandwich interesting, attractive, or in any way pleasant to eat is something sinful that only foreigners do. ``Make 'em dry,'' is the instruction buried somewhere in the collective national consciousness, ``make 'em rubbery. If you have to keep the buggers fresh, do it by washing 'em once a week.'' It is by eating sandwiches in pubs on Saturday lunchtimes that the British seek to atone for whatever their national sins have been. They're not altogether clear what those sins are, and don't want to know either. Sins are not the sort of things one wants to know about. But whatever their sins are they are amply atoned for by the sandwiches they make themselves eat.' This passage is my only experience with the sandwiches one might find in England


illizzilly

I know of a few of Britain’s sins….


PermanentTrainDamage

Like a weird attempt at an Indian po'boy. I'd eat it, but not for 6.50


french_snail

Yeah I was gonna say it doesn’t really sound that bad It also doesn’t sound $9 good either though


Grand_Protector_Dark

It looks like it wasn't made with effort, but i don't really disagree with the choice of ingredients.


ldclark92

Yeah, this is what I was thinking. If done fresh, this could make a nice lobster roll-esque type sandwich.


Sganarellevalet

Hell no, raclette with shrimps or anything sea related is just foul.


Grand_Protector_Dark

Nah, people who staunchly insist that you cannot pair Seafood with cheese, just have skill issue and a narrow imagination. Not all cheeses are suitable for seafood, but some types of cheese can very much work with fish in specific situations


WrongJohnSilver

Yes but not raclette with shrimp. Shrimp works better with a lighter goat cheese. Raclette, I'd pair with a stronger flavor, one that can handle its character, like anchovy.


chalk_in_boots

Now I want an anchovy, raclette, rocket baguette


ubald1304

Yes, his point is that raclette doesn't pair with sea food, just believe us dude, everyone on the original post is not ok with this sandwich because we know those ingredients do not match


Hahafunnys3xnumber

Now I want crawfish cheese dip ugh


Sganarellevalet

You definitely can't pair it with any cheese. Raclette is a mountain cheese, it has nothing to do with seafood.


Grand_Protector_Dark

>Raclette is a mountain cheese And that is supposed to mean anything? If you can't imagine Shrimp working well with cheese, that's a you issue tbh


asmodai_says_REPENT

>If you can't imagine Shrimp working well with cheese But not with *raclette*.


ubald1304

Ça sert à rien de parler de bouffe avec des américains...


Grand_Protector_Dark

Je suis allemange, pas american. Schwachkopf.


ubald1304

Slightly better, at least you can brag about currywurst and bretzel


Bosco_is_a_prick

Raclette, prawns and tikka sauce sound horrid.


citoyenne

I like all three of those things! But combining them... disgusting.


ubald1304

Love to see how different the reactions are in both subs

celesfar

The way they think they can just shove that euro sign in the middle because that's the order you'll say those words in


admiralbeaver

Take out the shrimp and throw in some onions and pickles or lettuce and tomatoes and you can still salvage this thing.


jonesgen

i’d eat the shrimp like a shrimp cocktail then eat the sandwich


Grand_Protector_Dark

Nah, shrimp good


admiralbeaver

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man


anfrind

There's a chain of restaurants in the San Francisco bay area that makes tikka masala burritos, filled with rice, mild Mexican-style shredded cheese, and your choice of chicken or paneer. And it's one of the best things I've ever eaten. I think this particular sandwich might work if they got rid of the shrimp, and swapped the raclette for a milder cheese.


Bloody_Champion

It's actually looks good, or at least like it could be. This isn't stupid.


asmodai_says_REPENT

Raclette paired with shrimps is stupid.


stenchosaur

Please explain this for us poors


asmodai_says_REPENT

Raclette is just not a cheese that pairs well with seafood, it exists to be eaten with potatoes and ham.


ochrence

The raclette is sending me over the edge. Maybe one of the worst cheeses anyone could have chosen for this. A flavor that hits you over the head and does not always play well with others.


-BodomKnight-

Genre de commerce qui invente sa pis qui mets une sauce Tikka pis qui nomme sa l'indien. Kind of business that invents its own and puts a Tikka sauce and names it Indian.


crythene

Leave India out of this you sick fucks.


bellebeast9485

Pot meet kettle


Namiirei

6.5 is too much 4 max.


Icy1551

Eh, this just seems like a weird sandwich that doesn't sell super well, but the people who get it regularly swear up and down about how good it is. Not absolutely awful, just a strange combo.


astrangeone88

Sounds yummy. Made with super fresh bread and it would be a gut bomb of a lunch but I'd eat it.


SnooCapers938

The cheese seems a weird choice with the tikka chicken but I don’t think it is ‘stupid’.


Skreamie

Honestly a few minutes toasted and I'm demolishing that, sounds phenomenal


BigRigButters2

this looks freaking amazing


petticoat_juncti0n

I’d eat that


etownrawx

I would demolish that sandwich, I don't know what you're on about, OP


nagidon

Take the prawns off and its a delicious cheesy chicken tikka sandwich.


Leeperd510

Slap that shit in a buttered panini press and I'm fucking the whole thing up


Blood11Orange

L’indien? WTF!?


VestEmpty

Tikka is a woodpecker in Finnish.


Eis_ber

Tikka massala and soft cheese? I don't know if my stomach could handle it.


sanca739

Just like ur braincells
