meat and two veg

meat and two veg
(BrE infml)
a meal consisting of some meat and two different vegetables, one of which is potato. It is a traditional British meal, although now British people enjoy a greater variety of foods, and ‘meat and two veg’ is sometimes seen as old-fashioned and boring:

He does like his meat and two veg most days.
