Bangers and mash....

....with Ratatouille. Confused

What the fucking fuck? Yes it's my fault that I obviously didn't read the menu properly.. I sort of glanced at it didn't really register. Who the hell serves bangers and mash with anything but gravy or beans?
The ssausages were raw and the Ratatouille was ALL over it all so I couldn't even just scrape it off. It smelt and tasted rank. And I like Ratatouille!

It's ruined my day and I've cried. Alot.

Disclaimer; I am pregnant and incandescent with rage at my shit lunch and very hormonal. I'm sure I will look back and laugh at my snotty, crying, heaving self in a few months. Sad

raw cheese made me lol x

This was a small independent place in a tiny village you've all probably never heard of. I suppose I can't post their name on a public website. They've recently been taken over (their food always was shit!) and I was hoping for better times this time. Next time I'll tell my mum I WILL PICK THE RESTAURANT.

disgusting! The only thing that should touch bangers an mash is onion gravy. The bangers should also (in my book) be sticking out of the the mash "three-bears-style"

Cheese and potato pie with beans is a favourite of mine confused. It is basically a big pile of cheesy mash and beans.

Op Apple ratatouille is an abomination. I do like proper ratatouille with sausages and mash though (that's basically what my usual sausage casserole is).

ConstanceMarkYaBitch · 11/10/2015 20:09

The sausages were raw, the meal was disgusting....but you said nothing and paid? More fool you, ye sap!

Sparklingbrook · 11/10/2015 20:11

But my pile of cheese and onion mash was in pastry with chips. Sad

pigsDOfly · 11/10/2015 20:13

Oooh love bangers and mash with baked beans.

It's the only time I'll eat baked beans.

I'm having Ratatouille with tuna steak for dinner; it's cooking as I type but I have it as a side dish, wouldn't sling it all over everything. Never heard of apple Ratatouille, is it actually Ratatouille, or something they made up themselves. Surely Ratatouille is a vegetable stew, not some nasty apple concoction.

Anyway, sounds foul. Not surprised you cried; being pregnant and all :)

PurpleDaisies · 11/10/2015 20:17

I definitely don't put mine in pastry and what is effectively mash and chips is a very odd combo sparkling. Saying that when I first made my husband the cheese and potato pie (cheesy mash with onions, more cheese and breadcrumbs making a crispy crust on the top) he moaned that it should have pastry. It was almost grounds for divorce.

Sparklingbrook · 11/10/2015 20:22

He needs to get down to the local Hungry Horse Purple. He can have a blue/red slushy to go with it. Grin There was a huge jug of gravy too.

PurpleDaisies · 11/10/2015 20:25

Grin sparkling.

Last time I went to hungry horse I had a macaroni cheese burger. It was macaroni cheese formed into a burger shape (I'm not thinking about how), breadcrumbed and deep fried. Oh my goodness it was good. I felt dirty afterwards.

Sparklingbrook · 11/10/2015 20:27

You have to be in the right mood for the HH Purple. Got to like a sticky menu. Sad That macaroni cheese burger sounds filthy.
They do a foot long hot dog now.

Notimefortossers · 11/10/2015 20:38

Lol. You guys crack me up!

PurpleDaisies · 11/10/2015 20:40

Now I am craving manner of cheese related unhealthy gut busting meals. Have had to make do with cheese and crackers.

Wilhamenawonka · 11/10/2015 20:47

Google search reveals that waitrose is involved in this abomination.

Moln · 11/10/2015 20:50

Apple ratatouille? What the in the name of Granny Smith is that?!!

Is it something like tomatoes, pepper, courgettes and apples? Sounds all sorts of wrongness. I think I could have coped with a surprise appearance of non apple ratatouille with bangers and mash but if it'd have been applaized I'd have looked like this Confused. I would also have accepted apple not in ratatouille, or anywhere near ratatouille.

OhBigHairyBollocks · 11/10/2015 21:00

Constance I know, I know, I was terribly British about it all.

I am properly boaking at macaroni cheese burger though. Shock

DH has cooked me meat feast pizza and has silently laughed at the ridiculous, hormonal mess I've been all afternoon, bastard as a consolation. It was ok. But it was not sausage, mash and gravy. Sad

NorksAreMessy · 11/10/2015 21:47

That is the ONLY way to serve B&M.
I find it easier to cut the bangers in half, so they stick in better and for greater comedy value

ProcrastinatorGeneral · 11/10/2015 22:08

Bastards, all of you. We were supposed to be having something healthy!:o

MissMarpleCat · 11/10/2015 22:14

I really fancy bangers and mash now.

HopefulAnxiety · 11/10/2015 22:15

No Hungry Horse near me and I miss the yorkshire pudding horseshoes Sad

Name and shame OP, name and shame. I just looked up the Waitrose apple ratatouille and eugh. Pork and apple sausages with mash and gravy would have been perfectly acceptable, or normal sausages with apple sauce or even red cabbage with apple. WTAF at apple ratatouille though. I don't like tomato-based sauces with mash, feels wrong.

Moln · 11/10/2015 22:16

Add some ratatouille ProcrastinatorGeneral, that'll make it healthier.

LibrariesGaveUsP0wer · 11/10/2015 22:22

Peas. Or a nice cavallo Nero. That's what I like with sausage and mash

OhBigHairyBollocks · 13/10/2015 09:24

We'll it's two days later and I am feeling slightly better. I have at least been able to laugh at my hormonal Sunday.

Totally having bangers and mash and GRAVY for dinner though
