A plate of salad with a dollop of mash potato is dirty isn't it??!

Ooh this was one of my childhood meals.
I still make it, but with a mountain of grated cheese melted on the mash.
Add salad, boiled eggs, beetroot and lashings of salad cream!

Mash? And salad?

It's not even October.

There should be a Law against mash and salad. It is wrong on every single level.

Salad is acceptable with cold meats and pickles on Boxing day ( esp if it is winter coleslaw ) but The Rule is more Roasties!

Mash is wonderful but only with sausages, stews, casseroles etc.. or as topping on fish or shepherd pies

Is anyone making you eat this? Or prepare this? If not, get a grip.

MrsJayy · 06/09/2017 21:52

Do you take everything so seriously? Or just shit on here? I'll get a grip when you lighten up a bit!

Yuck. This is the kind of thing my Grandma would serve up. Like the time she put tinned mushy peas on a roast dinner like it was a perfectly normal thing for a human to do.

Such people are clearly lizard people trying to blend in and not quite managing...

Cricket?!

I was given mash and salad after giving birth - that was the hospital kitchen staff's best effort (I'm vegetarian - it threw them completely for several days). They were really pleased. I rang DH and got him to bring me food.

I had a jacket potato with salad and coleslaw for lunch but that is the closest I will ever get to mash and salad Grin

Urglewurgle · 06/09/2017 22:08

Nope, nope, nope!

MrMessy · 06/09/2017 22:11

Nope, nope, nope!

Urglewurgle · 06/09/2017 22:12

But the gravy might get on the salad!! Shock

OverTheHammer · 06/09/2017 22:15

Holds,savage hand up. We had it yesterday with a nice piece of quiche. Not my first choice, but I didn't have enough bigger potatoes specimens to do 'em baked. No one complained. What's your problem!

ReinettePompadour · 06/09/2017 22:16

Granny used to serve champ (mash potatoes with ham/gammon, spring onions/scallions, mature chedder all mixed up together) with salad.
Other than that, mash should never be served with salad.

ThreeSangriasFloor · 06/09/2017 22:16

My dad's quick go-to dinner for himself is scrambled eggs and mash. Its so worn there arent words.

ThreeSangriasFloor · 06/09/2017 22:17

so wrong !! I can't even type properly I'm so disturbed..

Take a leaf out of your own book! If you can't handle the responses don't post!

BexleyRae · 06/09/2017 22:20

I have a friend who still winced at the time she came home and her husband had prepared salad & mash for tea. He couldn't see anything wrong with it, she couldn't eat it. I agreed with her (vom)

OverTheHammer · 06/09/2017 22:21

Course I can handle the responses - I'm just curious as to how anyone could take this so seriously! It's clearly light hearted!
