Chicken and mushroom?

DH was cooking tonight's meal which was chicken and chips. I asked him to saute some leftover mushrooms to go with it. He refused on the grounds that it was an abomination to serve mushrooms with chicken and chips. We got baked beans instead.
What do you think?

Ooh Marydoll! Mention of the Berni Inns takes me bsck... we were regulars on a Saturday lunchtime in the 70s, fish, chips and peas, 37pence, washed down with a bottle of white or Mateus rose, and a French floater coffee afterwards! And when we had a bit more money, steak or duck a l'orange with a jacket potato, yummy! So sad to see them go.

No beans with chicken for me, although the grandchildren would like it.
Definitely mushrooms instead of beans, but I would really prefer green veg or corn.

Definitely mushrooms for me too , my oh would have put tomatoes up though instead of beans πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

I'm with OP, mushrooms over beans every time

We don't have to be sensible all the time DrWatson I love the occasional KFC and their totally synthetic gravy.

DrWatson Thu 23-Nov-23 03:33:59

For Pittcity - anyone using KFC is hardly any reference for sensible eating choices?!

Mushrooms with anything πŸ‘

Like you Cabbie I don't like the texture of mushrooms, same goes for pasta I really can't bear it.

Having one cooked chicken roast potatoes and beans as a child with my uncle, who gave in to 8 year old me choosing dinner... I remember it being lovely

But I definitely couldn't now! Mushrooms please lol

I make mushrooms in a creamy sauce which I regularly serve on sour dough, and with haggis when we have it. It is delicious, and elevates the meal. It would be beautiful with chicken.

SautΓ©ed mushrooms, black pepper, garlic, cheese of choice and a little double cream - yum!

I'm allergic to mushrooms so he has my vote. If I ate them I'd be in hospital with an adrenaline injection.

Ruby song: I pop mushrooms in the microwave on low, before frying them. So they take less time to cook than heating baked beans.

grandtanteJE65 Wed 22-Nov-23 16:48:27

If I eat mushrooms with chicken it would be in the form of mushroom sauce, not just fried mushrooms, and I could simply not imagine eating fried mushrooms and chips together.

I imagine chicken and baked beans taste good together, must try it out.

Jenh66 Wed 22-Nov-23 16:19:39

Mushrooms with everything for me πŸ‘.

ruthie2 Wed 22-Nov-23 15:45:47

Am U the only person with an allegy to mushrooms? Hate the damn things - my stomach thinks they're toadstools.I don't see anything wrong with baked beans and chicken.

Summerfly Wed 22-Nov-23 15:22:27

I don’t like mushrooms, but would serve with chicken for my DH . πŸ„

ileea Wed 22-Nov-23 15:22:17

I'll eat mushrooms over baked beans any day.

Patsy70 Wed 22-Nov-23 14:52:54

Another vote for mushrooms from me and a πŸ‘Ž for baked beans and chicken.

My secret ingredient for chicken pie: M&S chunky chicken in white sauce to which I add cooked chicken & sometimes mushrooms or leeks.

Dowsabella Wed 22-Nov-23 14:31:10

Mushrooms! Lots of mushrooms! But I'll forgo the chicken as I'm veggie, so just mushrooms and chips, please smile wink

sharon103 Wed 22-Nov-23 14:30:56

Mushrooms and beans for me
