indeed, I think my dislike comes from getting cole meat and chips on a Monday after Sunday dinner when I was a kid, or even worse, cold meat and warm everything else (veg and gravy)
Mondays for us was slices and the odd-shaped "corner bits" from the Sunday joint with a mound of steaming bubble-and-squeak.
The bubble-and-squeak was the spuds and veg (regardless of what type of veg, it could be cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, peas, you name it ... it all went in with the mashed spud) from Sunday too.
Sometimes a cold roastie or two on the side of the plate as well.
I don't remember having gravy on the Monday meal ... my dad always made gravy from the joint's juices on the Sunday and wouldn't ever use bought Gravy mix etc. so I can't think how he'd have made some on the Monday.
Sometimes there'd be a little bit of leftover apple sauce or mint sauce.
The only bit that wasn't leftover from Sunday was the optional dollop of HP.
I could eat it right now TBH.
