Settle this minor family dispute (lighthearted)

[Myusernameismud]

We normally have a tesco delivery Monday morning, but I unexpectedly had to work all day today (usually my half day) so I rebooked it for tomorrow as I couldn't get a slot for this evening. As a consequence, dinner was a last minute, whatever we've got in the cupboards affair. I made a quick tomato soup in the blender, but there wasn't enough bread for all 4 of us, and I suspect even if there was, we'd have been hungry later. So I baked some jacket potatoes and topped them with shit tons of cheese, and served it with salad.

Here's the dispute. DS10 and I think it was right up there with the best dinners ever.
DH and DD12 were utterly horrified. They ate it, and there were no complaints, but it was the idea of soup and a jacket potato together. Apparently it 'doesn't go' and I should refrain from such unorthodox food combinations in future.

AIBU to think that DH and DD are just heathens?

This is lighthearted BTW....

How did you eat it? Soup first then JP and salad?

Sounds delicious. We have a meal of whatever’s left whilst waiting for our shop. Freestyle Friday was a huge hit with DC when they were younger. They would make very interesting concoctions.

Sounds like a great 'bang the shelf' meal!

Sounds yum!

We have freezer lotto basically I stick my head in the freezer grab what I can and cook it

My only issue is the bread.

Tomato soup needs ready salted crisps. Trust me.

I love a jacket but my kids hate them, so has become an 'alone' treat.

Sounds delicious, I'd be happy with this

Slightly different but my recovering from illness food is a big dollop of cheesy buttery mash in a bowl, bubbling Heinz tomato soup poured around the edges, grated cheese sprinkled on top.

Bread and butter optional.

OP it's hot it's cold it's wrong.... You lot are crazy 😜 Fair point they should be grateful for food on the table.

The jackets with salad would normally have been enough but they were really small and I'd already decided I was making soup!

It was all on a plate together, so I guess that makes it a bit weirder.

I'm firmly in the soup and sandwich club, but usually only if it's tomato soup and a cheese sandwich. That is the food of gods.

Wish I had been at your house for dinner tonight sounds lovely

I'd also like to add, for context, that when I first met DH I went round to his parents (where he was living at the time) on my lunch break, and found him eating cheesy beans on toast with ham. So toast, butter, slice of ham, beans, cheese. That is not OK, IMO. I feel he has no place judging my food combination choices.

I once made pasta with a curry. Still don’t understand what the issue was.

I don't like baked beans enough to eat beans on toast, but otherwise I see no problem with adding cheese and ham to it? I always add cheese to spaghetti hoops on toast (always.... The once every 3 years or so I eat it).

But salad and soup?!

Kingdom cheeeeese, breeeead, tomatooooes, wa-ter, you know, things you cannot get here [all in hammy French accent]

Pasta with curry.. tbh i no someone who regularly does chicken curry served in a bowl with plain pasta in another bowl worh grated cheese on... and this is normal in there house hold no roti/naan or even paratha. Not even rice... but kids lap that shit up like its going out of fashion!

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I realise what a hypocrite DH is. He has been known to eat instant noodles with leftover chilli or curry dumped on top.
The upside of it is, we never throw away food. He's a human dustbin, so all leftovers that I can't do anything with get eaten. And yet still, he questions my soup/jacket potato combo.

Sounds fine to me, but then our random user upper dinners are all kinds of strange, the key is to eat it in stages/separately.
