To be repulsed by the idea of...(lighthearted I guess)

[5onit]

...eating more than one type of meat together. I know it's strange as I'm in no way vegetarian and love my meats, but the idea of eating a meal with 2 different meats or a meat other than beef with cheese just makes me feel physically sick (and I'm not just saying that). I don't know why, but it instantly ruins a meal for me.

I told DH to buy us some posher ready meals as a treat tonight as we've been eating cheap ones for weeks. He bought me a posh lasagne which I've been looking forward to all day but I've just seen it's beef and pork, rather than just beef. I've now been completely put off, I physically cannot force myself to eat it. I'm going to give it to DD and have cheese on toast instead.

Does anybody else have this? I feel like a right weirdo.

Also wondering why all the (cheap) ready meals, but I’m sure there’ll be a massive drip feed!

The meals I make and freeze are ready to put into the oven. What other ready meals are there? 😎

I'm not bothered if people have a multimeat carvery or whatever, but ramming birds inside each other like Russian dolls is madness. Who imagined that up?!

@Hydrogenbeatsoxygen they're not ready meals though are they.

Beef and cheese sounds odd to me!

Steak and stilton pie: bloody fabulous!

Ditton turkey, leek & gammon pie, the best meal of the whole Christmas period.

My ragu recipe uses pork mince as well as steak mince, and chicken livers.

Sausage and bacon with a full English, chicken and pancetta in a pasta bake, beef and pate in Tournedos Rossini, steak and kidney pie, liver and bacon, cassoulet, mixed grill - loads of classics use more than one meat.

Mixed fish is also fab, especially fish pie or bouillabaisse. In Dieppe, nearly every restaurant along the harbourside does a fish stew, all slightly all different, all fab.

I do eat my cheeseburgers in secret though because I'm supposed to be Jewish

Lasagne is traditionally made with more than one type of meat. Ready means are just vile though.

I find bacon on burgers repulsive though so do know what you mean.

Didn’t King Henry 8th have birds stuffed inside birds at his massive banquets?!

Ready meals are the pre-packaged ones you buy in the shops and microwave (usually). Definitely not home made.

This reminds me of the Come Dine With Me episode where one of the contestants gets really upset and unsettled by being served a bird in a bird in a bird.

I personally love a mixed grill every now and again. And chicken wrapped with bacon. And chicken and chorizo. And bacon on a beef burger...

I'll get my coat!

Surf and turf isnt an American thing its regularly on the menu here in part of the uk. As is beef n bird, or cock n bull as some call it. Yum.

What about pigs in blankets at Christmas? That was my first thought!

That's not food it's therapy to repair the stresses of the season!

Mixed grill?
Special meats pizza?
Mixed cold meats with a cheese board?
Turkey and Gammon Pie?
Steak and Kidney Pudding?

and my favourite delicacy from my local butcher....... chicken breast stuffed with a mix of sausage meat and black pudding, wrapped in smokey bacon AKA a Flying Scotsman.

All you PPs who won't mix meats are really missing out

Mixed grill I can manage, but that thing from your butchers sounds vile!!

🏃🏻‍♀️🤣🤣

Out of interest, how do you feel about tapas-style meals OP? You could quite easily have a couple of different meats as part of that, but does it ‘count’ in the same way?

I’m totally with you all on the three bird roast thing though

I’m fine with mixed meats ina mixed grill, or two different meats at a carvery (or 3!) But I absolutely cannot eat chicken and egg together (say in a salad for example) Freaks me out and I get the same kind of ick feeling as you do with meats! 🤷‍♀️
