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 want to live in Scotland now the food sounds delicious I like battered fish soaked in gravy does that blow your mind Op?

I always serve mash AND bread & butter with stews.

Agree eggs & beans should never touch. Sauce, or gravy, should never be put on beans either IMO.

I used to hate my mum serving shepherds pie & beans, absolutely rank IMO, but then I hate shepherds pie any way.

Fish with gravy

In regards to pie filling mixing with your beans i build a little chip/mash bridge between the two so they cant touch. Problem solved

I like my chippy fish with curry sauce

Definitely chips with lasagne.

Then put vinegar on the lasagne. Honest you wouldn’t believe what it does for the taste it’s like actual magic

This is just surreal

Where on earth are you getting your kievs from to count them as a ‘wet’? Aren’t Kiev’s usually breaded chicken - if your chicken is wet and runny you have a problem!

Yeah I don't mind curry sauce on my chippy fish either Anasnake but prefer gravy

I don't eat meat but is kiev not hollow and filled with garlic sauce or something?

And I need to know more about this macaroni cheese pie...

It is Grooovy and tbh its not that wet at least when its cooked I have found them very dry .

They all just seem like ordinary meals to me.

What other strange food rules have you got OP?

Lasagna and chips used to be standard pub grub.

If your mashed potato isn't wet, you've not added enough butter or olive oil!

Macaroni cheese pie - made from hot crust pastry, filled with macaroni cheese then topped either with grated cheese or mash AND grated cheese. Best ones are from Aulds (bit like greggs but BETTER )

If you like vinegar on lasagne - try salad cream on macaroni cheese - totally lush!

I love Kiev with mash and cauliflower cheese

Omgg me too SheGotOffThePlane 😍😍

He can definitely cook here anytime! Also definitely yy to chips and lasagna

Macaroni cheese pie - made from hot crust pastry, filled with macaroni cheese then topped either with grated cheese or mash AND grated cheese.

Omg Graphista!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

And that's really just a snack up here

Cheese is a carb? Cauliflower is a carb?

WHAT are you on about

Cheese is dairy and fat, and cauliflower is a vegetable!

Macaroni cheese pie - made from hot crust pastry, filled with macaroni cheese ten topped either with grated cheese or mash AND grated cheese

That sounds filthy. In the best way!

gravy n chips 🤤😋

Just remembered MIL hoicks her judgy pants if anyone tries to have ketchup and baked beans on a cooked breakfast - enough sauce in the beans, apparently

What about brown sauce? Is that allowed? I always have brown with beans.

Sadly no, Floella - baked beans = no sauce at all

☹️

Given how many people seem to think eggs are dairy (wtf?), I am not surprised there is confusion over the food groups in cauliflower cheese.

I have terrible food issues. If I was served pie with baked beans it would probably reduce me to tears. Agree in principle about two different wets, although pie and gravy is actually ok, took me a while to get to that stage though!

Don’t feel quite as passionate about double carbs but I wouldn’t choose to do it.

Weirdest combo I’m happy with is bacon and banana.

So generally I’m with you!
