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.

shes right either gravy or beans but not both they will clash

FreeMantle · 15/06/2018 18:07

No.

Sausage and beans. No extra carbs

Or

Sausage, mash and peas with gravy

HushabyeMountainGoat · 15/06/2018 18:10

Yes yes yes to beans and gravy!

Chicken pie, chips and beans with loads of gravy.

Peas are also fine though.

Proper northern.

Green beans fine baked , no!

monkeysox · 15/06/2018 18:15

Beans + gravy = dirty as fuck

RitaMills · 15/06/2018 18:16

Normally I’d say you’re wrong and that sounds fucking disgusting but I did say that about chips and gravy.... until I tasted chips and gravy quite recently. Chips and gravy is a thing for me now so sometime in the future sausage, mash, gravy and beans could be too but at the moment it sounds fucking disgusting. Grin

Yesyouarebu · 15/06/2018 18:18

She's wrong. Peas are yucky

LauderSyme · 15/06/2018 18:20

I don't fancy the sound of your plate at all OP but each to their own.

Not much in the spirit of AIBU I know, so for form's sake, YABU.

WilyMinx · 15/06/2018 18:24

I don't like peas but your colleague is right - beans and gravy should never be combined.

flowergrrl77 · 15/06/2018 18:25

OMG you just made me vomit a bit! I thought you meant green beans at first, reading on I realise you mean baked beans... 🤮

CheesyWeez · 15/06/2018 18:26

I love beans and gravy. Mind you I like fruit cake and gravy. When no-one's looking.

Nanny0gg · 15/06/2018 18:29

Your colleague has it spot on.

You, however...words fail me.

KatieKittens · 15/06/2018 18:31

I’m with your mother on this too. As a side note, I can’t handle mash and beans on the same plate. Beans and chips are yummy though!

KatieKittens · 15/06/2018 18:31

Not mother, I mean your work colleague! Blush

FairyFace · 15/06/2018 18:33

OH MY GOD , never beans and gravy. That's a fucking sin! They are right, ugh imagine gravy floating into the bean sauce. No way, gravy and peas only lol

manicmij · 15/06/2018 18:33

Nope, definitely no gravy with beans.

Sarahrellyboo1987 · 15/06/2018 18:35

You’re wrong and she’s right.

Beans and gravy is gross. How shamefully unbritish of you! 😉

MumofBoysx2 · 15/06/2018 18:37

Gravy and beans, no no!

MumofBoysx2 · 15/06/2018 18:37

Assuming you mean baked beans? Or did you mean green beans?? OK if green beans of course!

cropcirclesinthefields · 15/06/2018 18:40

I'd say beans, peas and gravy with ketchup! Whack it all on the plate yum yum Grin

AvaJane · 15/06/2018 18:40

Peas and gravy or beans.

Miladamermalada · 15/06/2018 18:47

Beans with mash and bangers is ok but NEVER with gravy.
You come across as uneducated and uncultured if you have beans. It MUST be peas.
How can you admit to your AIBU-go and find some shame.

Solo · 15/06/2018 18:51

No! I'm sorry but, sausage, mash, beans and THICK onion gravy is the best combination...if you're really hungry, add a spoonful of peas too! I'm not northern although my mum is, she won't eat baked beans though; never has, never will.

Hmmmmm...wonder if I've got any sausages in't freezer.

TigerTooth · 15/06/2018 18:57

Peas and gravy - yum
Baked beans and gravy - yum
NEVER baked beans and gravy (Maybe this is north/South thing)
