Please help stop this disgraceful practice.

Cress on top of nachos is the worst I’ve experienced. Impossible to pick out all the cress from the salsa, guacamole, sour cream and melty cheese. It wasn’t just pointless, it negatively impacted on the dish, imo at least.

I like greenery, and sourdough.
But. The beans should come in a pot on the side. The bread should be toasted. You can then decide if you want to butter your bread before putting the beans on yourself.
The greenery should also be on the side.
It's all about practicalities for me.

I clicked on this thinking it was going to be an eco post about non-native flora being introduced into urban landscapes - this is so much better 😂

What's the other 10%?
I tried carnivore once for a month absolutely loved how it made me feel but I just got bored.
But now my diet has gone so bad, I'd like to give it another go

Bloody hell! I'd need a lie down after that, and some counselling.

I once had fish and chips in a pub served on a bed of lettuce, the peas were missing so I wondered if they'd substituted them with the lettuce.

I actually complained to the waiter as the lettuce was all mushy and it looked gross, but he just looked at me like I was mad.

Well, I must be on my own....as I don't feel 'right' if I haven't had a bit of greenery on the side with my meal :(
Although....that said, breakfast is not one of those meals.

I could have written your post. My husband and I moan about the same thing every time we go out for brunch. 😅

Completely agree - I loathe sprout type garnishes on top of breakfast/brunch time meals inparticular. I do not mind chives, a little parsley or even a sprig of chervil which can add to the meal. But an enormous clump of sprouts atop a poached egg is vile.

And the prevalence of sour dough seemingly to the exclusion of all other types of bread is infuriating. It suits some meals but dominates other dishes, The crust if toasted properly is too hard to cut easily with poached eggs and untoasted, and barely warm, as most places seem to serve it the flavour is too strong, the texture unpleasant.

It has nothing to do with not liking ‘proper’ bread a 5 grain is great, a proper white loaf perfect. Sour dough is always sliced too thickly, the crust too dominant, it doesn’t absorb yolk and it just slides around on your plate leaving a slightly unpleasant aftertaste.

It’s ok well toasted with jam. A nightmare in any dish that requires a knife and fork to cut it.

edit- spelling

As if 20% of people want a clump of rocket on their beans?!

(Unless they’re even weirder than that and they like untoasted toast with no butter on!)

I've seen threads about this.

Oh i assumed this was about the five second rule, twice this week on school pickup i've seen small children drop sweets / biscuits on the floor to pick it up and their mum tell them its fine to eat.

I put mine in my bum, problem solved!

I love poached eggs on toast as a breakfast treat in a cafe. My favourite cafe, that had always made perfect soft poached eggs on hot buttered (normal, not sourdough) toast, one day randomly decided to serve it covered in chopped chives. Literally covered.

They were "trying something new".

I am allergic to anything in the onion type family, including chives.

I had to ask them to make me a fresh serving, and they seemed quite put out.

I referred them back to their menu item, which mentioned eggs, bread and butter. Not a word about chives.

They made me a fresh serving.

Bean haterz posters are U!

South African here and second your American friend's view about beans at a BBQ. My dad always did this when we were growing up (kept in the fridge so nice and cold). Not sure how prevalent it was outside our house though. Don't recall ever having hot beans on toast until I came to the UK - love both versions now! And hot beans in jackets with cheese - yum!

If I have ordered hot food, I will never want a cold garnish (unless it’s cheese), or worse, a fecking salad alongside. Hot meal - bring me hot veg as my greens. Nice slice of cold quiche - salad me up. BUT NEVER SALAD WITH A HOT DISH!

I like fresh sourdough with lots of salty butter, but toasting it makes the crust like concrete and I’m always worried that I might break a tooth.

Beans on toast just needs a slice of toasted white farmhouse, well buttered (salted butter), topped with beans and seasoned with white pepper. Possibly with a bit of grated cheddar on the top.

I’ve lived in the USA and they have weird notions about bread. It’s bread Jim, but not as we know it.

I want greenery, but on the side rather than on top.

Sourdough is bread, but neither sourdough nor coriander go well with baked beans.

Toast should always be toasted.

There's a whole forum on Reddit dedicated to complaining about getting unwanted salad with various fried things; it's called /r/Scotland.

Breakfast means breakfast.

Vomit looking eggs are my choice..cannot bare leathery dry eggs.

I also have to make sure I ask for my scrambled eggs “well done” because apparently vomit looking eggs is cooked! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Aaaah that takes me back! Remember in the nineties when your pub lunch always came with one lettuce leaf, one bit of cucumber, a slice of tomato and a wodge of mustard cress? No dressing. But there was salad cream in a sachet which you could never spread evenly.

@Iarthar they were too spicy for her little one if I remember right

Balsamic shit needs to get to fuck and beyond 😡

Coriander Bleugh! Tastes like soap and I always try thinking it’s flat leaf parsley

Thank you! I thought I wasn’t trying hard enough to find proper burger buns the other week as they were all brioche. What happened to a normal, sesame seed burger bun? I ended up buying sourdough rolls 🤣
