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

Ugh no. Almost as bad a sweetcorn and gravy.

CoughLaughFart · 06/09/2017 22:25

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

So why get so sniffy with me?

OverTheHammer · 06/09/2017 22:27

You were the one instructing me to "get a grip" so I think you'll find it was you getting sniffy with me.

Mash potato

There's snarkiness on a thread about mash and salad? Leave the OP alone and get snarky on a thread that's about something more deserving of your snark!

Floellabumbags · 06/09/2017 22:36

Mash and salad? Even Stig of the Dump wouldn't eat that!

titsbumfannythelot · 06/09/2017 22:36

Salad+ mash= feral

End. Of.

My mil once served Sunday roast with a side of quiche. Rank. Swimming in gravy. Vom.

Salad and mash together sounds utterly grim.

Cold mash was a staple of my mother's salads in the 1980s. Cold mash, sliced tomatoes, ham, sliced boiled egg, pickled beetroot. That was the only salad there was.

Now she's all about the buratta and the micro herbs and her cold mash salads are but a distant memory.

I love quiche, chips, peas and gravy. With ketchup. Yum! Hot quiche obviously.

Oh I see - I need your permission! Thank heavens you told me!

Please let's not fight over mash and salad, we are supposed to be mature adults Grin

SoftKittySillyKitty · 06/09/2017 22:59

Well I know this is AIBU but a bunfight over salad and mash? Grin

You are wrong in the head. Actually I think you might be my son. Have you ever experimented with plums in mayonnaise?

ShapelyBingoWing · 06/09/2017 23:01

(Ignores the light shower of snark).

I actually reckon I can beat the grossness of mash and salad!

I was once served a Christmas dinner that had not just gravy poured all over it (not a problem) but creamed leeks too Envy. The plate looked like vomit. We all laughed it off and luckily we had other food in.

OverTheHammer · 06/09/2017 23:02

CoughLaughFart is clearly a mash and salad eater 😂

Never mess with a mash and salad eater Hammer Wink

OverTheHammer · 06/09/2017 23:05

I wouldn't dare! They might have ((whispers)) gravy!

I love mash and salad! With fish. And lemon. No gravy.

SoftKittySillyKitty · 06/09/2017 23:07

Or worse - dripping Shock

ShapelyBingoWing · 06/09/2017 23:07

Revenant - did you just admit to putting lemon on mash on a thread that's already proving a bit too controversial for some? Grin

SoftKittySillyKitty · 06/09/2017 23:08

Salad, mash and a mucky tucky...

SoftKittySillyKitty · 06/09/2017 23:09

...with gravy! Grin
