to think that having baked beans and salad on the same plate is an abomination?

[Mintyy]

I'm not, don't know why I'm asking really.

ewwww!

YANBU - and I don't know why you are asking - seems clear as day to me.

Perfectly fine as long as you don't get bean juice on the salad.

Eg many jacket potatoes come with a bit of salad and the filling could be beans.

You're right to ponder these things!

YANBU at all, that's just wrong!

Christ no!! lettuce touching hot beans sauce? boak!!

Quite often when you have a jacket potato with beans it will have a salad garnish on the side. That's ok I think.

YANBU! Baked beans don't belong on a baked potato (at least not without butter and a mountain of cheese)

Unfortunately this is the only meal my favourite local cafe do that is syn free on slimming world :(

Jacket potato with baked beans, cheese and a bit of salad is delicious, and totally normal.
Cold baked beans and salad however is odd, no matter what DH and his family think!

I love beans and salad. Delicious. Don't know what's wrong with the rest of you!

YANBU. I often find that if I order a jacket potato with cheese and beans, it comes with a salad 'garnish'. Wrong, wrong, wrong. The salad gets warm and soggy and tends to disintegrate so you can't even separate it out. So you then tuck into your spud only to find green slimy bits interspersed with your beans.

Also, my post refers to baked beans not belonging on the same plate as salad, as well as with a baked potato! Soggy warm salad is a no no

Foxy, its the jacket potato with beans on top and salad on the side scenario that I am thinking of! It is wrong-tastically wrong.

I adore cold baked beans. First had them served to me as part of a salad plate. Love at first bite. Mind you, my dad puts ketchup on lettuce so maybe we're just odd

Noooo - jacket, beans and salad is right! Especially with cheese, and even more so if there is cress on the salad. I love a cafe spud with cress garnish

Mmmm cold baked bean tarts...

Hang on. Baked bean tart? What's that? And does it come with salad?

Baked beans are usually wrong. They are bearable with bacon and/or sausages but that's it.

Don't start me on just how much they sully the sacred Friday night special of egg and chips....

Hang on. Baked bean tart? What's that? And does it come with salad?

It's the little tart cases filled with cold beans. Not usually served with salad but your choice.

Baked beans are acceptable in a tiny number of scenarios.

They absolutely definitely should never go near egg and chips. Egg and chips is a 2 ingredient menu of perfection (although one may require a little dab of brown sauce on the side).

Nooooo! Egg and chips is one of life's great meals. Beans instantly ruin it.

It's the little tart cases filled with cold beans. Not usually served with salad but your choice.

With cheese, cream, egg etc to make it quichey or literally a can of beans poured into a pastry case?

You are actually being quite unreasonable to even mention beans and salad in the same sentence Mintyy, for now I have a moderate splayed toe. Half a minute ago I was relaxing comfortably on the sofa but now I have the splayed toe. That's your fault that is.

I love a baked potato with butter, cheese and beans, and then a side salad that I pile on top of the potato so its all mixed in with the bean juice. Mmm.

As a child a wouldn't eat any food mixed together (I had to have jelly and ice cream in two separate bowls) but now I seem to have gone completely in the opposite direction and love a mixture.
