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?

So are we saying it’s ok to eat mash and cauliflower - together

What meals do you like op because your dh sound perfectly fine to me .

Sounds ok to me - your weird OP

We have six kids so I cook things like macaroni cheese, lasagne, stews, roasts, curries etc, things that will feed thousands.

Mash & cauliflower cheese together is compulsory - yes it's a bit white so add some bacon & frozen peas, to jazz it up a bit.

I’m going to gently suggest that “two wets” has never been anything I would consider weird. What your husband cooked sounds fine to me. I think you might be the slightly weird one when it comes to food combos

Two different wets 🤢

What is this 'wets' thing you speak of?

Mash isn't 'wet'

Maybe being a southerner you'd have preferred jellied eels with your pie

I know you're trying to make a joke but you actually sound like you have food issues. The wets thing sounds like my toddler!

And cauliflower is not a carb.

Dr Atkins is rolling in his grave at you suggesting that cheese is a carb 😂😂

Do you serve garlic bread with pasta / lasagne ? As that's 2 carbs ???

Beans/gravy with pie is a must! Sorry OP you’re the weird one.

I have a friend who has mash as a side when she has a plate of pasta. I find that really strange to be honest. Garlic bread, side salad is fine but mash? Don’t understand it.

Am not on about mash being a wet - beans and pie is two wets

And no I do not have “food issues”.

Pasta and mash

yeah, you do.

How is pie wet ???

I'm currently making sunday lunch, brocolli and cauli cheese, mash and gravy. Lasagne and garlic bread - that's double carbing. Or pizza and chips.
My favourite comfort food - macaroni cheese and garlic bread or chips, gravy and coleslaw. Yum.

I suppose if it was a meat pie with gravy in the pie it could be wet ?

What is this "no two wet things rule" - a new one on me!

Yes the filling is wet

Moist not wet - same as most meats, do you put gravy on a (moist) roast ?

A lot of people dislike scrambled eggs and baked beans together. I love it.
