What I had for dinner tonight was considered a proper meal growing up 😂 now I call it a council tea pmsl I had sausages,chips, beans and bread smothered in lurpak.. And yes before anyone asks I did dip it in the beans 😂

Lurpak sounds posh!

That sounds nice to me.

My weirdest dinner combo is baked beans and pasta. Sometimes with ham and cheese if I want to push the boat out. Husband refuses to try it.

What's weird about sausage, chips and beans with a bit of bread? Doesn't get much more mainstream!

Bluntness100 · 12/01/2020 20:14

I don't think that's weird? Seems a normal dinner to me?

Interested in this thread?

Sometimes I do random carb combinations - tortellini with a burger in a bun. It's massively comforting.

Gossipjunkie22 · 12/01/2020 20:15

I don't think it's weird at all but dh seems to think so 😂 he's having garlic & herb chicken with potatoes and veg... Maybe he's the weird one 😂

Jacket potato with cheese beams and tuna with gherkin.

My son used to have a roast at school with a side of potato salad coz he loved it

joystir59 · 12/01/2020 20:18

Garlic chicken with mashed 'tato and carrots and petit poi's. Followed by two strawberry yoghurts, two small apples,6 Rich Tea and a coffee

joystir59 · 12/01/2020 20:18

Cheese beams! Grin

Gossipjunkie22 · 12/01/2020 20:21

Oh cheese beams.. Are they new?

We also had rice and peaches for desert... Omg don't all freak at once but they were tinned 🤯 🤯

Used to eat things like that as a kid. I would never think to have that for dinner now. Sounds good though, maybe I should one day.

lollybee1 · 12/01/2020 20:33

Wow. Tinned peaches are definitely a blast from the past.

GooodMythicalMorning · 12/01/2020 20:36

lasagna sandwich

moonsmarshmellow · 12/01/2020 20:38

Sausage chips and beans is not a weird combination at all!

suggestionsplease1 · 12/01/2020 20:40

I had a few very strange combo dinners in the run up to Christmas when I wa trying to empty freezer and fridge in preparation. I think the oddest one was scampi and mince with some salad. (I don't really recommend!)

NotMeNoNo · 12/01/2020 20:40

I went freezer diving and just had sausage, baked beans, and quinoa rice. Epic.

Pasta beans and cheese is one of my autistic sons specials, he eats few foods so we're inventive with combinations.

Goldenbear · 12/01/2020 20:44

Betroot, veg samosa and mackerel. Followed by rice pudding

Gossipjunkie22 · 12/01/2020 20:46

Tinned peaches were awesome! I feel like I'm a teenager again... I'm off to crimp my hair and sing into my hair brush hahaha

Gossipjunkie22 · 12/01/2020 20:47

I do cupboard diving at the end of the month haha some of the combos I come up with are brilliant

Afonavon · 12/01/2020 20:49

Eh? Sosage, beans and chips is such a normal combination that there is a song called it (in Welsh). I’m a bit confused, a bit like asking whether fishfinger sandwiched are odd.

onlyhereforthefood · 12/01/2020 20:49

we do spinach and ricotta tortellini with ketchup to dip in place of a sauce.

Gossipjunkie22 · 12/01/2020 20:53

Dh says it reminded him of days when his parents were skint haha May I add we are certainly not skint, I just really fancied this for dinner. Me and ds have had a right good feed tonight and dh hasn't even finished his... Argggggghhh I hate food waste

Cauliflower cheese omelette 👌🏻

Gossipjunkie22 · 12/01/2020 20:54

Sounds quite nice actually haha

now I call it a council tea pmsl

We couldn't afford Lurpak when I was a kid. Or anything as fancy as you've eaten! Tea would be two ingredients maximum...

Other than the Hmm name, I don't mind if as tea at all, although I'd give any form of peaches a miss!
