To think this is not right. Salad with gravy!

[Confusedismyname]

Went out for dinner tonight and ordered sausage and mash from the menu. It said it came with garden peas, but mentioned nothing about salad.

This is gross right?

Yes. Totally

Yes, that's wrong on absolutely ever level there is, has been and ever will be.

It does seem odd but that said I just had mashed potatoes with caesar salad for dinner. It was bloody lovely

Glad it’s not just me. I’m not one for normally taking a photo of my dinners, but on this occasion I made an exception.

You normally get peas or salad so wonder if she accidentally clicked something and somewhere there's a chef saying to their partner "had a right one tonight, women orders bad cheers and nah with gravy, am fine eh? But she ordered a side salad on the same plate. Nearly threw up my own dinner pouring that gravy on!

and the restaurant team were probably soooo proud that you were so impressed by your food that you were going to put it on instagram

I thought they were courgettes at first (OK)
then realised they were cucumbers (weird)

I opened this innocently thinking any wilted leaves would be fine and never expecting cucumber & tomatoes 😱😱😱😱 YADNBU!!

Yuck!

Sorry but I would be sick. Can't cope with weird foods mixed like this...

The order was taken the old fashioned way with a pen and pad.

Someone has clicked YABU, so there are some fans of salad and gravy out there.

I love both salad and gravy. Not together though. And i love weird and wonderful combinations.

Plus that gravy is watery gravy should be thick

2020 strikes again! That is an abomination - sorry it was actually your tea

Eugggggh

Gravy on salad is wrong. Salad should come on its own, before the entree.

That belongs on rate my plate!

@Butterer

My mum used to have pickled beetroot with her shepherd's pie and gravy - not quite in the same league of wrongness, but getting there.

That's not wrong at all. Pickles absolutely belong with traditional stodge like shepherd's pie, and a pickle based on a root vegetable is certainly not an exception. It's similar to having pickled red cabbage with meat and potato pie, which is an absolutely classic combination in the part of south Lancashire I hail from.

Blugh! I can imagine the texture of warm gravy on cold cucumber.

What did you do OP? I hope you handed it back and told them.it was an abomination.

Dear god. I’m not one for being squeamish about food and Dan eat pretty much everything but that is badder than bad.

And the gravy looks dreadful quality. Where in gods name did you go to eat?!

I wouldn't have salad with sausage, mash and gravy but I would have it with lasagne, pasta with sauce or curry. My husband has an aversion to salad and gravy in any form so I put his in a separate bowl.

Bleurgh...

I have just asked DH who has a reputation for odd food combinations (he’s like Joey in Friends - ‘what’s not to like? Jam - good - cream - good - meat - good’) and he’s agreed that is horrific. Which is saying something.

I really want to know what the restaurant’s defence is for something like that...

@SleepingStandingUp why do you assume that the person serving is female?

Totally wrong to have salad with that meal, OP.

maybe they ran out of seasonal veg so chucked a salad on to look healthy....
