Quiche and Gravy - crap/not crap

[fudgefactorfive]

The relentless taunting of the barbarians that litter the u75 chatroom has driven me to this

In typical Royle Family styley, the chatroom asked me what I was having for my tea the other week. I replied, truthfully, that it was quiche, veg and gravy. The storm of derision that followed was utterly devastating, mainly due to being completely unprepared for it: it has never, for one second, occurred to me that there is anything wrong with having quiche and gravy together on the same plate.

If we're going to get down to specifics, I'm a veggie, so it was broccoli quiche, spuds, broad beans and veggie gravy.

What's wrong with that!

i've never tried quiche with gravy but i love quiche and i love gravy and thinking about it <thinks>

 

[milesy]

<stops thinking> it sounds like it could be alright.

i'll ask the wife if we can have it one evening.

pip-pip

I was gonna vote crap til i read the op and it sounded yummy with vegi gravey,,,,,

FFF I frequently find your posts slightly controversial but yet thought-provoking and authoritative. However, on this issue you are clearly wrong, wrong wrong my friend.

Whilst I generally approve of the Urban culture of live and let live and everyone making their own choices, egg products and gravy are clearly not designed to be on a plate together. It's written. Somewhere.

Wish i had a wife who would cook and clean for me, and make me cups of tea and other lovely stuff that i have to do,,,,,

it's on the internet. here. but just cos it's on the internet it doesn't make it true. it says so on wikipedia under the article for "the internet." so it's gotta be true.

There's very little difference between having a bit of gravy on your veg or sticking a dressing on your salad. So I don't see a problem with it at all.

Someone said to me earlier this week, they went out for a posh meal and had a starter of strips of raw tuna with avocado ice cream. That sounds like much more if an iffy combination that quiche, veg and gravy. But it's really none of my buisness what people eat together.

I offer the fact that i was 6 months pregnant at the time as defence for the incident of jam doughnuts with pickled onions. However, I'm well aware that after that it would be a huge hypocracy to comment on anyone else's food combination choices.

I told my boyfriend about the quiche-and-gravy-hating masses gathering like stormclouds on the internet and he said "I suppose they don't like cheese and jam sandwiches either". But he's foreign.

toggle - the gravy doesn't just go on the veg - I like to slop it over about a third of the quiche too, and run it around the back so that the pastry gets nicely soaked.

I will never get this, it is wrong.....

 

[psycherelic]

With veggie gravy it might be a bit acceptable, but surely it would make the pastry go soggy

Its not a nice thought......

Although, im partial to a vinegar sandwhich every now and then

 

[panpete]

Probably ok if your'e pregnant or something.

 

[pembrokestephen]

Gravy.

Blech.

It's the shit the dinner ladies insisted got poured over ALL of this vegetarian's lunch.

No wonder I was thin until 15.

No wonder I suddenly got a bit strapping just about after 15.

Die, dinner ladies, die. Preferably drowned in vats of your own stinking gravy.

Thats why i eat vinegar sanwhiches every now and then, i kept one of my cravings.....

She's a bit cunning like that: even I don't know how she managed it, what with me being resolutely and really rather happily flying solo and all

she's buggered off to stonehenge. the child and i both think she's abandoned us cos she doesn't love us anymore.

i should listen to my good friend rorymac. whenever i tell him what the wife has been up to he says "you should nip that in the bud, son".

he's right

Shhurely I must be mistaken,, for a min then, i thought you was mocking the very suggestion that quiche is the bizz,,,

I like pastry that is soggy from the dressing on the salad that i prefer to eat with quiche. it's yummy.

Quiche should only ever be eaten by the type of person who wears corduroys, watches Antiques Roadshow and listens to Brotherhood Of Man.

Yes but that's cold salad dressing soggy - and tart too.... not warm and tepid gravy soggy... different thing altogether...

Still sounds better than the raw tuna and avocado icecream, or the jam doughnuts with pickled onions

Well yes, I quite agree!

 

[fudgefactorfive]

*ignores predictable anti-quiche knee-jerk savagery*

I do actually have a T-shirt that says "Nobody knows I eat quiche". I made it myself when I was younger and more idealistic.

Does it go with your corduroys?
