How do you have your beans and chips?

[Brian Marwood]

A - Beans on top of the chips
B - Beans alongside the chips put slightly touching
C - Beans away from the chips but on the same plate
D - Chips on the plate but beans in a separate small bowl

Always A for me, the chips have to soak up the bean juice fully.

More importantly, where do you put the tons of grated cheese?

A or B, both fine... though if it's - just - beans & chips I'd go A & really mash em up..

Chips on plate, beans in tin or bin

I've absolutely, and obviously had beans with chips on many occasions (sausage, egg, chips and beans being one example). Don't think I've ever had just beans and chips before. I'd probably default more to beans on toast ... As is for breakfast, with grated cheese for lunch. Obviously.

C - When it comes to chips I can't have any liquid touching them, and sauces need to go in a separate pot for dipping. Beans are fine on the same plate but need to be separated by a breakwater (lincolnshire sausage and/or black pudding.)

I think that's more a barrage, or dam than a breakwater - bloody tasty barrage mind

 

[Centralscrutinizer]

Chips and beans either side of the burgers

He's just wrong - sorry you cannot take syrup wearers seriously

 

[SNOWBANDIT]

do you also not have salt n vinegar on ye chips? That's a deal breaker for me ( pun intended)

 

[Millbrook]

Never have beans with chips.

Very similar to you, I have eaten beans with chips but wouldn't just have them two together and tend to eat beans with an all English breakfast. The last time I had beans with chips was in Ealing with an all English breakfast. I was more shocked that in London they would serve chips with a breakfast.

C if I am presenting the dish, but fully accept version B because I like breaking the dam and watching the imaginary villagers flood in bean juice/sauce.

 

[the_holgate_roof]

I like corned beef pie, chips, beans and gravy.

 

[italianjob]

Slightly touching is just about acceptable. You've got to consider the moisture soakage ratio for those chips and whether they get eaten first or last. It's quite a science

 

[sadgit]

B but the chips are covered in either mayo or curry sauce

 

[easy_livin]

Never have beans with chips.

Can of beans straight out out of the fridge and straight from the tin. Larvely.

Chips on plate, beans in tin or bin

Agreed.
