We’re having bangers mash beans and onion gravy for tea.
She insists peas are superior to beans and gravy should never be combined with beans as you can’t have two sloppy things on the plate. She is so very very wrong.

No I'm with her beans and gravy should not be in the same plate Envy

HundredMilesAnHour · 14/06/2018 16:40

Beans and gravy???!! No. Just no.

BrutusMcDogface · 14/06/2018 16:41

Ugh, beans and gravy?!! Sorry but she's right and you're wrong! It's either peas and gravy, or beans and no gravy. But if that's what you like.....there's no accounting for taste! Wink

UghFletcher · 14/06/2018 16:41

Eughhhh why would you ever mix gravy and beans on the same plate.

Your colleague is correct and YABVVVVVU

Quartz2208 · 14/06/2018 16:41

yep its either onion gravy and peas or beans on its own!

PuppyMonkey · 14/06/2018 16:41

You’re both wrong. Gravy is an abomination as are peas. Just beans is all you need with sausage and mash.

Olddear · 14/06/2018 16:41

Beans?? Did you say beans?? All that gravy and bean sauce...Shock No, it has to be peas

PizzaAndChips · 14/06/2018 16:41

Peas are the devil's food and beans are way better, but beans with gravy? I'm not so sure on that one! Grin

IWantMyHatBack · 14/06/2018 16:42

She's right though, beans and gravy is grimmers

AfterSchoolWorry · 14/06/2018 16:42

Beans and gravy can not go together.

NotSuchASmugMarriedNow1 · 14/06/2018 16:42

She's right

Ansumpasty · 14/06/2018 16:42

Eeeeee why would you mix beans and gravy. Sounds like prison slop. Sorry, op Grin

FASH84 · 14/06/2018 16:42

No definitely not beans with gravy 🤮

PonderLand · 14/06/2018 16:42

I always have sausage mash beans and gravy! It's soooo good. Are you north op? Maybe it's a north/south divide.

Winchester13 · 14/06/2018 16:43

Err no! I’d either have gravy or beans, never together!

CuriousaboutSamphire · 14/06/2018 16:43

No! Just no.

Mind you, you have it wrong in other ways too!

It's bangers, mash and tinned tomatoes - self saucing Smile

MyKingdomForBrie · 14/06/2018 16:43

She’s right, beans or gravy

femidom12 · 14/06/2018 16:43

I hate peas.

bigknickersbigknockers · 14/06/2018 16:44

you are right.... your work colleague is wrong. Gravy improves everything

swimmerlab · 14/06/2018 16:44

You couldn't be more wrong.

DuchyDuke · 14/06/2018 16:45

Beans and gravy??Envy

liz70 · 14/06/2018 16:46

Beans are farted straight out of Satan's arse. Peas all the way.

BackByDopeDemand · 14/06/2018 16:46

Beans and gravy sounds revolting!

Bangers and mash and gravy doesn’t need any side veg 😉

KarinVogel · 14/06/2018 16:48

Good grief. Beans and ONION gravy ? The after effects will be ...interesting, anyway.

YABU - never put two sloppy things on one plate. But even the thought of bakes beans and mash is making me heave a little. Its all perfectly fine with peas - although I would have broccoli and carrots or sweetcorn maybe.

Myotherusernameisbest · 14/06/2018 16:48

Baked beans and gravy? Just no
