Mismatched Meals

[naomi24]

Sparklykid in his post below says he’s having fish, chips and gravy for dinner today. I find the idea of gravy on fish very odd indeed but I have a friend who puts the oddest foods together. In that sense she reminds me of Letitia from The Vicar of Dibley. Roast lamb, mint sauce, roast potatoes, vegetables, gravy - all topped with a fried egg; fish, chips and boiled cauliflower; curry, chips and garlic bread. I dread invitations to dinner at her house.

What food combinations do you find odd?

Gravy isn't a stranger to fish.. They sell it in the chippy!

Chips and gravy
Mayonnaise- with anything

Ours don't, spath...

[spathiphyllum]

Well all the ones in my town does! Maybe it's because i'm ever so slightly north. They offer mushy peas, curry sauce or gravy. They also offer picked onion, gherkin and pickled egg.

If you ask'd for cheese chips and gravy.. would they say "Sorry luv we dunt do greveh" ??

Anything from the chippy is a law unto itself, chips,fish and curry sauce, potato pie on a barm bake.

I have a friend who, when presented with a lovely roast dinner with all the trimmings, pours tomato sauce over the lot !

i've always thought gammon and pineapple an odd combination

[aelmpvw]

I love chips and gravy, but I definitely wouldn't have liked gravy on fish ..

Dr. Who has often said that his/her favourite meal is fish fingers and custard.

I guess chippys sell pies, so you could get pie chips and gravy.

I think chippies should sell mash. What a world that would be.

[Mamyalynne]

Not here Ael.

They would, spath... although without the Northern accent... lol. Each to their own... fish and gravy seems bizarre to me. Salt and vinegar... x

[spathiphyllum]

Tarte sauce or curry for me but i would happily have gravy.

Always mush peas always.

[SparklyKid]

The gravy goes over the chips, fish separate. Sorry that was'nt clear.

Papaitan — Filipino goat or beef tripe and offal soup flavoured with bile.

Tripe flavoured with bile ... mmmmmmmmmmm!

Or... just a regular day in "Religion & Spirituality"

Once tried Ikea meatballs, bit surprised to be offered Lingonberry jam and gravy with them.
