AIBU to think if you are offered beans on toast, the beans should actually be on the toast?

[Notinmykitchen]

DH has just made me beans on toast for lunch. However when he presented me with my plate I was shocked to see the beans on the plate, with the toast next to it! Surely that is just plain wrong isn't it? DH thinks IABU and it makes no difference, but my bread was dry, with no bean juice to soak into it. I am right aren't I? Should I leave the bastard?

Beans under toast, or beans adjacent to toast is much better. If the bean jus turns the toast to mush, what the chuffing heck was the point of toasting the bread in the first place?!
YABU.

Correct order is toast, butter, cheese, beans, more cheese!

How can you have a cheesey beans if you don't have it lumped all together???

Some of you are weird!

Yes I agree that the clue is in the name.

Beans on toast-but not the revolting "tomato sauce".

Bean jus? Vair posh TiggyD

A rose by any other name and all that though..

really? beans always go on toast with dh and me!
Beans never touch toast with both dds
and I know a child who will only have bean juice and not touch the actual beans

Hmm. I am in full agreement with all those that see this as disturbing and controlling behaviour

It's a clear example of projection. The beans represent you and he is the toast. He doesn't want them together. He doesn't see them together. The beans will 'contaminate' the toast and must be kept away so that the toast can remain 'pure'.

Of course, imagining that he is a piece of toast is a danger sign in itself - demonstrating that he has a form of Identity Disturbance. Bread is a very powerful symbol; the Staff of Life; the living yeast - the sustainer of primitive man. This might suggest that he sees himself as the life-giver - and consequently the life-taker-away. You cannot survive without him; he is feeding you. Why do you think he was making you the beans on toast in the first place?

You, on the other hand, are the beans; the cheap, giveaway food that interacts with bacteria in the gut to produce noxious gases. What he is saying here is that you will get inside him and poison him to his core...

...gas-lighting...

...multiple personalities...

...with a large rubber mallet and then bury your remains under the patio...

"and I know a child who will only have bean juice and not touch the actual beans"

Perfect-more beans for me

Yabu, I hate soggy bean juice bread.

you can not make me laugh out loud Talc when I am trying to be stealth like and look like I AM WRITING MY DISSERTATION [kids eating pot noodle as i am soooo busy] ...they know critical refelction is not funny ha ha ha ...

I have 'on', the DDs have 'and'. DD1 has scrambled egg 'and' toast too.

Yeah - but it's all bollocks, Maryz

How on earth could I find a career where you could earn money writing completely nonsensical, unresearched drivel, for flips sake?

The beans make the toast soggy so beans on the side sounds brill to me, but as he offered beans ON toast the beans should indeed have actually been on the toats.

In summary, YANBU to expect the beans on the toast but YABU to prefer it that way.

What makes you think I'm at large with the general public?

I'm typing this all with my nose because my arms are strapped behind my back. I'm up to 3 wpm now!

(thank you for your lovely words, though)

Talc

Thanks for making me laugh on what has been a very bleak day :)

I can't believe no one has said this already. Do you want your children to grow up seeing this reasonable behaviour?

They will either accept beans (not on) on toast or even worse subject some other poor soul to this.

Please think seriously about what you're going to do. Remember, we are all here to support you.

I'd this the worse thing you have to worry about?

Goolash, are you ops dh?!

one whole slice of bread in the centre with the beans on, spilling over the edges and one cut in half diagonally next to the bread, cut sides against the top and right edges of the whole slice of bread. And of course the bread should be liberally spread with lurpak and...marmite.

On special occasions (like feeling ill/sorry for myself) also with grated extra mature cheddar on top.

DH has a deeply disturbing twist to this. He makes lovely cheese on toast all crispy and lovely and then pours (brace yourselves people) beans all over it. Ych! I blame his clearly abusive mother who does the same think with pizza

Plain toast should have the beans placed on top using a holey spoon so you get the correct about of bean juice. You may then grate cheese on it if you wish.

Thing not think sorry

I think it depends on how far away from the plate you are standing when you hurl the beans at the toast; or how far away you can stretch to avoid the revolting smell invading your nostrils.

Ds gets beans draped partially over the toast and part not, as I cba first thing in the morning about bean placement, especially as they are the food of the devil and he likes the other food of the devil (Marmite) on the toast. Makes me heave.

duplo i also have beans on cheese on toast, but that is an entirely different dish to cheese on beans on toast. For the former, the toast must be buttered and marmited, sliced tomatoes layered, topped with sliced (NOT GRATED) cheese, grilled, then the beans added to the top. Both slices of bread kept whole to serve. No brown sauce (are you mad!) - Brown sauce only if marmite is omitted.
