Brown bread and butter. Yum.

italiancortado · 17/12/2018 23:31

Peas and garlic bread.

KTyoupigeon · 17/12/2018 23:31

Peas -
Yum yum

PickAChew · 17/12/2018 23:31

Gammon, yes, breaded fish is lovely with it.

And chips. Needs chips. Or toasties, if you're pretending to be posh.

LoniceraJaponica · 17/12/2018 23:32

My mum often used to do it as an accompaniment to jacket potatoes.

PickAChew · 17/12/2018 23:32

Roasties.

DrWashout · 17/12/2018 23:32

Bacon. Sliced tomatoes. Spinach.

Or put pasta in with it for a mixed macaroni cheese / cauliflower cheese thing.

Bacon

Yulebealrite · 17/12/2018 23:33

Potato wedges and gammon in our house.

StylishMummy · 17/12/2018 23:33

More cheese

DramaAlpaca · 17/12/2018 23:34

Chips & peas.

AdaColeman · 17/12/2018 23:35

Cauliflower cheese and fillet steak is a match made in heaven, but I also like it with gammon (joint or steak) or sausages.

Gullane · 17/12/2018 23:35

Buttered toast and sliced tomatoes. Yum.

cowfacemonkey · 17/12/2018 23:36

Bacon and leeks and peas, crusty bread

ilovepinkgin33 · 17/12/2018 23:36

Nice with salmon fillet and garden peas

RaininSummer · 17/12/2018 23:36

I have it with veggie sausages.

OneMoreForExtra · 17/12/2018 23:37

Nothing! Put 2 halved boiled eggs per person in before pouring over the sauce. Hey presto a full delicious meal. If you're really hungry add some chopped cooked bacon.

Top tip: allow the cooked cauli to cool in the colander before putting on the dish and adding cheese sauce, or the steam makes your lovely rich sauce watery.

concretesieve · 17/12/2018 23:37

We like gammon or a couple of sausages.

fieryginger · 17/12/2018 23:37

Pork chops and veg.

tapdancingmum · 17/12/2018 23:37

Mashed potato of course 😀

IShitChristmasGlitter · 17/12/2018 23:39

I was thinking vine tomatoes with it maybe grilled? and or peas chips would be nice but we dont eat them really.

The smaller bunch in our house DD1 will devour it but will do hers with a small amount of sliced sandwhich ham DD3 will think am trying to posion him although hes in nursery so will have a light tea with them so he will have some ham and grated cheese with crackers snack plate type thing.

Grilled bacon and grilled tomatoes - the three dishes go so well together

AssassinatedBeauty · 17/12/2018 23:45

I usually do green veg (peas, green beans, broccoli) and mashed potatoes.
