That was DH's order at a big family dinner a few weeks ago.

I dont particularly like either of those so would never do that personally but I have a very much live and let live attitude to food combinations, I don't think it matters as long as no one is inconvenienced or forced to eat something they don't like

OhmygodDont · 06/03/2024 19:18

Yeah that’s weird a kebab goes with a beer lets face it.

Cas112 · 06/03/2024 19:21

My partner put salad cream on a plate with beans the other day so tbh in comparison I wouldn't think twice about a hot chocolate with a kebab😂

Once went to a friends, she had made a really hot curry, and served it with tea or coffee. It was so bloody weird.

Yes, properly weird. I can't understand any hot drink with savoury food.

Not even tea with a full English?!

This is my favourite MN title today 😄

Yes, that is weird, the only food I’d accompany with hot chocolate would be cake.

Eminybob · 06/03/2024 19:47

I would have a cup of tea with a fry up or fish and chips. Nothing else.

I was going to say hot chocolate with a meal is weird due to the sweet/savory element, however I quite happily have a milkshake with my maccy d's. Even go as far as dipping my chips in, so what do I know 🤷‍♀️

HappierTimesAhead · 06/03/2024 19:48

So weird! Although did he wait and have the hot chocolate after, like a desert?

SheepAndSword · 06/03/2024 19:49

Doesn't seem like the most obvious choice

I had an ex whose family drank tea with every meal. Very strange!!

HappierTimesAhead · 06/03/2024 19:50

I once ate a curry while in a hot bath and that was a really weird experience. I was pregnant and it seemed like a good idea at the time....

CrushingOnRubies · 06/03/2024 19:53

My dads go to drinks with fish & chips is a cup of tea
Don't see the appeal somehow

No, he literally sipped it along with his olives, tzatziki, hummus and pitta, and then the kebabs and chicken wings.

Totally.

To me it's weird to have any sort of milky hot drink with a savoury food. Sugary hot chocolate is a step even worse than that!

Green tea with Japanese food is my only hot drink with a meal exception.

Okay, that's off the scale weird

ScottBakula · 06/03/2024 20:17

Each to their own but that does seem odd
I tend to have coffee with my meals or cider occasionally

I would have a hot chocolate later on , more like a dessert

therealcookiemonster · 06/03/2024 20:19

no coming back from this. sorry OP

You think that drinking tea with curry is weird? A billion Indian people would like a word.

Justlovedogs · 06/03/2024 20:24

Wouldn't be my first choice, but we're in the tea with everything camp, so 🤷‍♀️ each to their own.

Noshowlomo · 06/03/2024 20:27

I had a hot chocolate with my mcds yesterday. I was freezing and it was lush

Noicant · 06/03/2024 20:28

I like a cup of tea with pasta, can’t explain why.

I imagine he likes the mix of spice and sweetness….can (almost) see how that would work. Like chocolate in a chili con carne (kind of)

Can't stop laughing at this 🤣. How random.

AtleastitsnotMonday · 06/03/2024 20:30

No full English is included. Just can't do hot drink and savoury. Full English would need juice. A hot drink with a biscuit or scone but that's where I draw the line. I'm a big tea drinker but would have to have tea before food at breakfast.
