To think this is a strange meal combination.

[Lezprechaun]

OH has cooked a meal, which I'm obviously grateful for but I mentioned it was a strange combination of food. They disagreed so putting it up to the mumsnet jury.

She has made jacket potato, salad containing coleslaw and sliced boiled egg all along with beans and cheese.

Is it just me who think you have salad OR beans and not both? In particular boiled egg with beans seems very strange.

I think pie and salad sounds good :)

Sounds nice to me! I love a good jacket spud with lots or different toppings and a boiled egg as part of a salad is pretty standard in my opinion! Be grateful you are cooked for..my husband can't even make decent toast

LoL that's fine. Anything goes, and if the kids eat it, even better.
We live in South America so we have rice, beans and salad with every meal. It's just the meat and vegetable dishes that vary everyday.

Beans and Egg are unusual combination? What do you have in your fry up?

Jacket potatoes are quite often served with a side salad in cafes and restaurants, so not that strange.

I see your potato beans and salad, and raise you
Fish. With Yorkshire Pudding. (thank you FIL)

Sounds yum to me. All of it would be stuffing for the baked potato and I'd have the salad on the side. Potato = carbs, Beans/egg = protein, Salad = fibre. Balanced meal done!

amigababy My sister eats Yorkshire Puds with everything. I once saw her eating a late dinner of 2 weetabix with a Yorkie on the side.

I would have left out the beans.

My boss had a weird food combination going on today. Caused me to do a double take anyway.

Beans, bolognaise, pasta, tuna and......custard.

Yes! Custard

Unless it's just me that thought it was weird.

sounds like something my SIL would make, she literally grabs what is there or needs using up and that is what you get. Oddest combo was spag bol and tinned mussels in vinegar on the side! Waste not want not....

I'm with Shockers, having been the soul cook for 9 years in my house I learned to accept with glee anything that was cooked by someone else! I don't really care now as long as it's edible!

I was about to say 'where was the tuna?' but it seems some other mnetters have as sophisticated tastes as I do!

The eggs sound BAD but I like salad with baked potatoes and beans especially red onion.

Ok clearly it's a divided topic. Yes it was all on the same plate and of course I ate it (minus the egg) and was very pleased and grateful that she cooked for me (like she does every single day).

We often tease each other about strange food combinations as I have a couple of my own so she wanted a mumnet vote as to who was right, it isn't like I refused her hard work because I personally wouldn't put salad with baked beans!

Beans AND egg?! I feel sorry for people downwind of you tomorrow seriously though, I like salad on the side of potato with beans and cheese as long as it doesn't get mixed together too much because warm salad is gross.

What? Beans and egg are like bread and butter. They just go. In fact one of my favourite meals is egg and bean pie.

I have never in my life heard that beans and egg don't go together.

I'd ditch the salad though.

I like all those things. Sounds like a good balanced meal to me.
