Weird food combos

[MrsMaxwell]

DH isn’t very confident when it comes to cooking. So if he does cook I try to just leave him to it.

He’s been off work for two weeks and at home (he’s in the forces and lives on base so when he’s home he’s not working but I am).

He’s been cooking dinner every night for the first time in 8 years which is great.

But he does some really weird food combos. Pie with baked beans (two wet things?) and chops with mash and cauliflower cheese (two carbs?) are two examples.

I wouldn’t and haven’t said anything but WTAF?

I don't think they are odd combinations we ?

I really don’t see the problem? I thought you were going to say he’d served something actually weird.

They are not weird at all. They're really not. And I wouldn't have said cauliflower cheese is a carb either?

They aren't odd at all. He is probably recreating what he sees on offer in the mess.

Like beans and cornflakes or pie and milk

Kiev with beans - weird.

You can’t have two different wets

Nothing strange about those at all.

Kiev with beans is also fine imo

Not at all weird in my world.

Enjoy having dinner cooked for you

Fine imo. We always have beans or gravy with pie. I prefer cauliflower cheese as a side rather than a main so would poss serve with potatoes. Maybe not mash as they're very similar in look and texture but not weird really.

Gravy with Pie?!

Not weird at all

Gravy pie and chips is a thing of beauty op particularly with a side helping of mushy peas found in most northern chippys.

Those were not weird combos op.

Mushy peas 🤢

Although I am Southern and DH is Northen which may be the crux of the issue

Erm, they're not weird combos at all.

Haha you'd hate me OP. I love Kiev with mash and cauliflower cheese

Definitely not weird at all OP. Pie and beans is a great combo.

Wishing I could have that today instead of stupid diet food.

I am from the midlands and they are normal meals.
How is a vegetable covered on cheese a 'carb'?
My DH likes to experiment- a stir fry with rice- he put the sauce on the rice not the stir fry bit

Cheese is a carb? Cauliflower is a carb?

My friends mum used to serve cauliflower cheese with a Sunday roast which I thought was a little odd but surprisingly delicious there would also be loads of bread and butter to make sandwiches out of the roast dinner!

Gravy or beans with pie is how it's supposed to be.

Chops with cauliflower cheese and potatoes is a staple dish in out Northern household.

You're weird OP.

Bacon and maple syrup. Yum.

Pie, mushy peas and gravy - yum. You have dry pie op ??!
