Anyone else eat really weird dinner combos?

[Gossipjunkie22]

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 😂

[ghostmouse]

'Growing up it was classed as a proper dinner now we joke and say it was cause my mum was a council mum 😂 she lived off benefits and if we didn't have much this was our dinner a few nights of the week..'

Some joke. I hope my kids dont grow up and sneer at my sausage chips and beans as not being a proper dinner when i worked damn hard to ensure they had a plateful of food and full bellies.

Council mum ffs. As if we're some kind of species that drags up thier kids.

And all the hahas and the 😂.. you sound about 12

[MarthasGinYard]

'Lmao'
'Pmsl'
'Jeeeeeeez'

You clearly belong over at the 'Hunz'

It's that way >>>>>>>>

[ghostmouse]

I've also took offence to the word counciltea.

I live in a council house, I've been on benefits and I currently work full time. Some days I really struggle with meal times particularly when it comes to the end of the month. So for someone to sneer at what they call a counciltea because yeah we're all so poor and common innit we'll eat any old shite cos we're on benefits yeh and we're so thick to cook anything else is a bit galling to be honest.

Oh btw sausage chips beans and bread is awesome, nice dinner in our house, we all enjoy it. I do a lot of other stuff too. Good God I'm a council house mum, my poor kids

[Wherearemyminions]

Council tea is an offensive term though, at the very least it comes across sneery. What other totes hilarious meals do you have "Benefits breakfast" "Dole Dinners" "Poverty pack-ups"?

If you'd said "we used to have this a lot when money was tight, still love it" that would have been one thing, no need for the now I call it a council tea pmsl or the inference that it's not a proper meal for that matter.

@Gossipjunkie22 bully? For saying I find the term council tea offensive? Get over yourself. It is an offensive term. I teach many kids who would love to have any food for tea. It makes you sound a snob.

[Gossipjunkie22]

Jeez no offence was meant whatsoever and I'm defo not a snob.. Far from it! I started a light hearted thread asking about people's dinners! I too scrape and scrimp daily to feed my family and I'm a full time worker myself.

I explained in an earlier comment why I called it a council dinner also mentioned there no offence was meant! Calm down bullies

[ChocChipWookie]

I always have Pudding, chips, peas and gravy from the chippy and every single time DH orders it he's questioned if he's sure. So much so he came home and asked me if it wasn't a normal combination. I'm questioning myself on that now.

Meanwhile for lunch today I had a small tin of sweetcorn with butter stirred in.

[myusernamewastakenbyme]

I have fish finger sarnies quite often....they are a food of the gods.

[OlaEliza]

It's also fucking offensive to people that are scraping by to put ANYTHING on the table, let alone a perfectly good dinner.

[Pieceofpurplesky]

I hate the term council tea. And You say 'we are certainly not skint'. Makes you sound like a snob.
I love sausage, chips and beans.

[Idontkowmyname]

I need sausage, chips and beans now with white bread and butter. Mmmmmmmm

[Beautyoftheirdreams]

My favourite gross meal is uncle Ben's microwave Mexican rice with chopped up chicken nuggets, mayonnaise and siracha sauce. It's amazing

[icannotremember]

You had a proper tea, I don't see anything weird in that.
Last night I had a quorn peppered steak with mushroom rice left over from Friday's takeaway Chinese, I thought it was quite posh but my dm phoned as I was eating and said it was weird. She's wrong!

[OlaEliza]

I just realised I was going to cook sausage, chips and beans yesterday, but we couldn't be arsed to even do that so we had crisps and crackers and biscuits, the dregs of the Christmas crap.

[Gossipjunkie22]

I love boiled egg mixed with butter or salad cream on pieces but that's not weird 😂

[moolady1977]

One if my all time favourites used to be fried egg fried onion and salad cream sandwiches on cheap white bread after a few (lot of ) beers

[MusicTeacherSussex]

My fave breakfast gotta be tinned tuna on toast

[Gossipjunkie22]

Oh that's just nasty dingdang lol in my student days I ate microwaved pasta with ketchup 🤮

[dingdang]

We used to eat mayo on toast with salt and vinegar after the pub as students... I don't think I could go there these days 🤣

[OneHanded]

Our ‘slum it’ was plain long grain rice with grated cheese and packet ham folded in or fusilli with Dolmio chunky veg sauce and grated cheese.

[Gossipjunkie22]

They all sound pretty good tbh my favourite so far and I sooo want to try is chicken korma with pasta that sounds yummy.

Sorry @growingboys I didn't mean to make you hungry but its not too late for a council dinner 😂

[TweetUsOnFacebook]

Lasagne with baked beans is something everyone should try.

[ginandgingers92]

Someone I know eats chicken korma with pasta... apparently they didn't know 'you could have it with rice' 😳🤦🏼‍♀️

[73kittycat73]

Vegetable finger sandwiches, with Salad Cream are nice too.

[73kittycat73]

Baked beans, sweetcorn, pickled onions, and loads of Salad Cream (Used like gravy.) all mixed up together.
