Would you serve lasagna with baked potatoes?

[RedSkyLastNight]

Prompted by a conversation with my parents..

I would serve lasagna (the traditional meat version) with a side salad and possibly garlic bread.
My parents like to serve it with a (large) baked potato. I reckon this is far too much stodge and you shouldn't serve lasagna with baked potato, but my parents reckon they have been to many restaurants that served it thus.

How do you like your lasagna?

With salad and garlic bread. Some people have lasagne and chips and I always thought that was too much stodge. God knows why you’d have it with a jacket potato.

Like you serve it.

With a nice salad. Bread too (to mop up) but I love bread.

Too carby with a jacket potato

Yep I would serve with salad and garlic bread.
But restaurants serve with chips.
They also serve macaroni cheese with chips.

Nope. Already got the carbs in there with the pasta.. I serve either salad or peas/other green with it.

Nope. I just serve it with veg or salad.

I’ve never seen it in any restaurant with a jacket potato. They’ve spun a web of lies to support their weirdness

No, I wouldn't serve any additional carbs with lasagne, it's got pasta in it! but I do serve huge portions of it...

I actually love lasagne with roast potatoes but I get that’s highly unusual x

Just a nice side salad.

I would prefer it with just salad but if someone else had cooked it I would eat what I was given without comment

Either green beans or salad and garlic bread or dough balls.

Just on its own. I always think if a pub does it with chips they must be compensating for small portions!

I've never come across a jacket with lasagne. That's like two meals!

With potato wedges and peas

I might, don't usually but sounds nice even if it is a lot of starch.

Umm with chips. Like you do with pizza.

It's double carbs if you have garlic bread with it though, despite the salad!

I serve it with peas.

I couldn’t eat that much heavy food. Each to his own but I don’t think the stomach is able to process it well!

Christ no!

Salad.

No, I wouldn’t serve with potato.

I often serve lasagna on its own, occasionally with a green salad, but never with chips, baked potato or garlic bread. To me, it's quite a substantial dish that doesn't need anything extra served with it.

Are potatoes stodgier than garlic bread?

Usually with salad, but I have been known to have chips as well.
