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

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? Grin

My eldest has been known to enjoy a baked-bean pitta - where the beans are stuffed inside, like a bizarre form of leguminous doner kebab. Cultural cuisine fusion on a melamine plate.

It still doesn't rival my eccentric father's culinary masterpiece, though: Naan Bread a la Confiture d'Abricot. With a keema naan Confused

The boyf Madame offered me beans on toast this morning, I accepted then quickly said 'beans on the toast, right?'

He looked bewildered and replied 'of course, what else is there?'

Beans at the side of the toast for me, not on. Dh like on though but he's strange that way.

I emailed this to my DH, who has strong opinions on such things. His response:

"Well the real problem here is the lack of sausages!

But no she's not being unreasonable. The whole point of beans on toast is that the toast soaks up the sauce. Why choose a bean in a tomato jus if you don't like the jus. Just go and get kidney beans and plonk them on the toast."
