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.

I'm with you op love thick gravy and beans yumyum

OliviaStabler · 15/06/2018 19:01

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

This ^^

leannejade · 15/06/2018 19:01

You must be northern?! Grin
I'm a big fan of sausage, mash and beans with gravy! And to make it worse for other people, I mix it all together - so good!

Atthebottomofthegarden · 15/06/2018 19:08

Well clearly beans are vastly superior to peas, so YANBU there.

Not quite sure about the gravy with it though I could probably handle a couple of spoonfuls on the bangers...

abbsisspartacus · 15/06/2018 19:10

I love beans and gravy

RideOn · 15/06/2018 19:16

You can't put beans and gravy on the same plate . . . . . I'm not sure why, but it just can't be done!

Havana7 · 15/06/2018 19:18

So my DP says he would have beans gravy AND brown sauce 🤢

Senga67 · 15/06/2018 19:28

Sausage, mash, beans and onion gravy...don't knock it 'til you've tried it 😁

WineAndTiramisu · 15/06/2018 19:30

Beans and gravy is amazing, but I'm aware I'm rather odd in thinking this...

lololove · 15/06/2018 19:30

beans and gravy are the reason I have various twitchy things about 'messy' food touching my other food thanks to my dad's idea of dinners as a kid Grin

n0ne · 15/06/2018 19:31

Beans? With sausage and mash?! WTaF?!? Peas and onion gravy, full stop. Beans and gravy is an abomination!

Suebreo · 15/06/2018 19:31

I will just have the peas, hate gravy, mash, sausages and beans. But I am not a fussy eater 😂

CaptainHammer · 15/06/2018 19:36

Yabu. Beans OR gravy, never the 2 should mix.

Frazzledstar1 · 15/06/2018 19:46

I’m not a huge fan of gravy on its own let alone mixed with beans! YABU lol

Caribou58 · 15/06/2018 19:47

Beans and gravy? It's a 'no' from me.

Icanttakemuchmore · 15/06/2018 19:50

Mmm nothing better than homemade meat pie, baked beans and gravy!

sminkypinky · 15/06/2018 19:57

I'm a northerner so it is in my DNA to have gravy on most things, but I draw the line at bakes beans. Grim.

Sweetfa22 · 15/06/2018 20:07

Here in Central Scotland I LOVE LOVE LOVE mince with beans and gravy. We call it poor man's mince. Love it x

Icanttakemuchmore · 15/06/2018 20:47

Don't knock it until you've tried it

PeachyPeachTrees · 15/06/2018 20:49

Mmmm! I love sausages, mash, baked beans and gravy. I also like cottage pie with baked beans, which is pretty similar.

hairypaws · 15/06/2018 20:59

I love steak pie with beans. You are correct.

MrsPepperpot79 · 15/06/2018 21:47

I see your gravy/beans and raise you my DP, who when eating steak and chips, will merrily add (and allow to mix) gravy and coleslaw... Confused

Gravy and beans still wrong though!

Icanttakemuchmore · 15/06/2018 22:18

Gravy and coleslaw definitely not Ewww!

Purplealienpuke · 15/06/2018 22:21

Sounds ok but toad in the hole with mash beans & gravy is better 😜.
Or..... mash tatties sarnie with beans and gravy !!
And no I'm not pregnant or from up north 😉

movinonup · 15/06/2018 22:45

Under normal circumstances I'd be in the no beans and gravy on the same plate...But I've been thinking that the answer is a mash barricade between the beans and gravy. I'm bloody hungry now!
