To correct my work colleague

[DarkRosaleen]

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.

Its peas and gravy you dirty bastard.

Gravy and baked beans is so so wrong

We're having bangers and mash with peas and gravy tonight. I love beans and I'd put gravy on just about anything - but together? Nope!

Sorry but YABU and gross!

If anyone of you is working in Greenwich, or know anyone who is, could you get them to get me a take away pie and mash. Please. Please.

Yabu. Beans and gravy on a plate together should never happen.

I’m with your colleague. Never two wet foods tofether

Yabvu. Beans and gravy = disgusting.

She doesn’t say baked beans. She might mean green beans

Neither. It should be bangers, mash, onion gravy (with lots of onions) and cabbage.

Perhaps she was encouraged to eat her green veg by pouring gravy on top?

Dodie She does state that both (the beans and the gravy) are sloppy so unless she has done Bad Things to green beans I think we can assume baked beans.

Beans and gravy? What is wrong with you? Beans with caramelised onions, that's different. But ffs, not gravy.

Peas and onion gravy, however, sounds wonderful.

Now I have no problem with beans and gravy, but never chips and gravy together (and yes DP & DD I'm looking at you both.....).
Beans and mash with gravy - manna from heaven!

Beans and gravy is wrong on so many levels and i’m not fussy.

beans and gravy and mash?

That's just some weird soup!

(and soup is just wrong anyway)

Yep. I’m Northern.
Resolutely gravely beanly bangers and mashly Northern.

Beans and gravy? Absolutely not!! Totally wrong, and very sloppy surely?

Peas and gravy are the only things should go with sausage and mash. Your colleague is correct and you are BVU.

Sounds vile

So does ‘tea’

I am also Northern but no way on God's earth would I put beans with onion gravy.

This screams intervention. This is not normal

In our house it is sausages, mash and onion gravy. We add fried red onions and a dash of balsamic to the gravy.

I’m northern, honestly that is no excuse. Naaaasssty.

I’m absolutely with your colleague. My DH however is with you and would not only have beans and gravy but ALSO ketchup. Bleugh.

ewww

mash potatoes, beans and gravy is mushy food at its worst. I would have to be starving to eat it but than I am a mad bint who doesn't like gravy or mash, let alone together -eww so sloppy. I don't like baked beans much either

So all in all, your colleague is right in that peas are better than baked beans but for me I would just want a plate of peas with no mash, beans or worst of all - gravy

Remove beans, leave gravy on menu. YABmassivelyU!

She’s right.

I wouldn’t consider beans with mash as I can’t eat mash without gravy.
