Having jacket spuds yesterday and it always weirds me out because dd13 is the only one of us, out of 8nthat puts beans and then cheese on her potato. She states we are the weirdos despite her being the only one, so help me settle a debate, is it cheese or beans first

s/n obviously for those of you who eat beans and cheese on a jacket 😂

Cheese then beans, so that the heat from the spud and beans melts the cheese, surely?

Granarybreadplease · 07/07/2025 23:26

What?! There’s only one way… beans then cheese!!

Beans then cheese

Beans then cheese, never would have occurred to me to do it the other way to be honest.

HollyIvie · 07/07/2025 23:29

No butter. Beans then cheese. Love jacket potatoes!!!

nocoolnamesleft · 07/07/2025 23:29

The most important thing is that there is a fuckton of cheese involved.

I always do cheese then beans, the heat of both give you gooey cheese 😋

Salt, butter, beans then cheese. Lovely.

It's obviously beans then cheese. I'm glad your daughter has found the right path in life. 😁

Squishymallows · 07/07/2025 23:36

Butter, beans, cheese, Worcestershire sauce

Nah, see why wouldn’t you want your cheese ultra melted, sandwiched between 2 hot things… it just don’t make sense the other way 😂

I recently swapped over which felt like a radical change Grin
I used to do beans then cheese, but then had a jacket with cheese and beans at a cafe which was served that way around, and I realised the cheese melted more, so I do it that way now 😋

Icanttakethisanymore · 07/07/2025 23:40

Either is fine. Both delicious.

SophiaSW1 · 07/07/2025 23:43

Beans first. I don’t like the cheese all melted

EssentialDecluttering · 07/07/2025 23:46

Obviously beans first so the cheese doesn't get too melted.

Teajenny7 · 07/07/2025 23:46

Butter
Cheese
Pepper

Leave the beans in the tin!

Tiredofwhataboutery · 07/07/2025 23:49

I like to do both a decent amount of cheese on top of butter and salt mashed into my spud, then lots of beans and then a generous helping of more cheese. This ladies and fentlemen probably explains why I hsve gallstones and hsve been banned from eating cheese.

WonderingWanda · 07/07/2025 23:51

Well I'd never really thought about it but my preference seems to be

Beans then cheese on a potato but on toast I prefer cheese (toasted) then beans.

That may be but let be honest with ourselves here, your spud is the most superior sounding up to now.

Cafes and potato vans that put your fillings on and THEN ask if you want butter are an abomination, and a disgrace to the catering industry.

Butter, then cheese, then beans, then bacon, with salad on the side - it's a tried and tested formula since time immemorial.
