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?

Chopping it was easer than squashing my nose trying to bite into it. Grin

Put it stalk down and press it till you hear a crack then tear it apart with your bare hands lol. I had a catering job after uni. Take home skills were no brown edges to my lettuce and making white sauce

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.

Noooo, this is how it should be eaten. Delicious.

White /cheese sauce on a salad would be good. Maybe I'm just a freak but I don't mind hot bean or spaghetti hoop juice getting in amongst my salad and hot macaroni cheese works great with salad. That's why I see the gravy as no different. Smile

You're yucky

But well fed. Bon appetite. Wink

That is all kinds of wrong. But then I used to eat chips with butter when I was a child, so I've no room to talk!

They didnt have enough food and tried filling your plate maybe. Disgusting

NiceGerbil · 13/08/2020 15:14

That's an abomination.

IncrediblySadToo · 13/08/2020 15:36

That's dis-dus-din

wink1970 · 13/08/2020 15:38

Yuk!

I am partial to a small cup of gravy with chunky white bread to dunk, though. Also like picked onions with my roast dinner, especially beef.

It has to be cold butter, one chip at a time though! Haven't done that for years! But yummmm

I eat low carb these days (Controls blood sugar levels), so I could have the butter, but not the chips.

If you don't chop lettuce do you just eat a whole iceberg one like an apple?

No. Stem down, crush downwards Tim it cracks then pull out the middle and test with hands

Ew l love a salad garnish but there is a time and a place and that is not it!!!

That way's a bugger for getting gravy all over your face though.Grin

Sorry couldn't resist. I should go make my tea, and chop my lettuce accordingly.Smile

Megan2018 · 13/08/2020 16:15

My local pub serves salad with everything. We don’t go for that reason. Yuck!

Go tear at it like a cave woman would. Stalk down, crush til you break the backbone, put out the backbone and tear the flesh apart.

Lettuce pray ! To avoid oxidisation you need something similar to this www.hartsofstur.com/oxo-good-grips-lettuce-knife-with-kale-stripper-11256900uk.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyPCN7ryY6wIVEO3tCh3gkAPEEAQYBSABEgICffD_BwE
