Do baked beans belong on a roast dinner?

[AGHHHH]

Inspired by my recent carvery trip with a friend who came back with a pile of Heinz on her plate and after I asked why she chose beans I was told "well they were there for us to have!"... Cue her going red when I said they were probably for the fish and chips, she thought the place was just selling carvery foods.

Oh just realised the carvery station has one or two separate items like piss and stuff, I think the beans are for those. The bar ordered food would come with beans.

PIES

Sicko.

We have a carvery restaurant here who have mushy peas out with their roasts. That's bad enough

@M0gg I like mushy peas, but only with fish and chips or faggots!

Admittedly this carvery also does cauliflower cheese specifically for the carvery which I do have... but I still find it really weird. And thinking about it now I'm judging myself.

piss 

🤣

This place definitely doesn't serve that 😂

Unless you count their frozen Rosé slushes...

Where is this place?!

Frozen rose slushes?? Piss and beans on a carvery?
Where the fuck are you having your dinners Op?!

Genuinely can't stop laughing at Marcie 😂

beans do serve as one of your five a day. though there are better ways to be honest.

(piss doesn't by the way)

Filth.

There's a Crown Carvery near me that does breakfast buffet, then carvery in the evening.
I've never been but apparently it's very popular.
Is the one you ate at similar and they'd just forgotten to take the beans away in the evening?

This thread is so unintentionally hilarious

Ugh, definitely no to baked beans on a roast.

The most disgusting thing I ever saw at a carvery was a bloke who piled his plate up high with meat and veg, on top of which he piled salad, on top of which he poured salad dressing and for the piece de resistance, went back to the roast area and topped the whole thing with two ladlesful of hot gravy.

You wouldn’t think they belong but they are actually really nice together. I’d never eaten a roast dinner until I went to a carvery a couple of years ago (I mean, I’d had meats roasted before but never a roast potato or stuffing or parsnip and certainly not all the dinner components together) and just thought I’d give everything a go. The combination of sweet bean sauce and gravy has a really nice umami richness.

I wouldn't enjoy that combination, but I'm all for breaking with tradition so I'm with your friend
