AIBU?

To think if you bring tzatziki and crue de te to a supper club...

..you are being a bit tight fisted on the old comestible front

We have a supper club once a month and this week one lady turned up with tzatziki and crue de te.
On entry she proudly announced she had "home made tzatziki and crue de te"

"ooooh crue de te" I said "that sounds exciting. Whats that"

bits of raw fu@@ing veg. I mean come off it you do not turn up to a supper club with that do you?
Put some effort into it woman. I made falafal and an aubergine dish from Rick stein (forget what its called but it has a funny smelly cheese and tomato sauce on it )

She won't be asked again if she doesn't buck her ideas up next month

The word is crudités.

harrietlichman · 07/03/2012 19:59

I take it you mean 'crudite'? Do you have rules for your Supper Club - as in..someone brings nibbles, someone else starter, main course etc? If she was given nibbles, I'd say fair do's, if not, and it's bring what you like, ditto.
What did everyone else bring?

Gumby · 07/03/2012 20:01

Falafel & aubergines sound like they go quite well with tzaiki

tethersend · 07/03/2012 20:02

Supper club?

Falafel?

Raw vegetables?

Much like queen Victoria and lesbians, I refuse to believe that this sort of thing goes on.

OriginalJamie · 07/03/2012 20:03

At least she didn't bring crudity

OriginalJamie · 07/03/2012 20:04

I had to leave Book Group in the end because of competitive catering. What started at Doritos ended with Jamie Oliver

KatieScarlett2833 · 07/03/2012 20:05

what is twatziki?

Rogerbacon · 07/03/2012 20:06

crudits shmooditz

se my confession to being thick on the being thick thread

we had cheese cakes, greek salad lots of wine,cheeses,olives and breads and things made with a bit more effort and a little more substantial

yoghurt with a bit of cucumber in it is a bit sad

ViolaCrayola · 07/03/2012 20:06

What is a supper club?! Please explain? Is it like pot luck?

BTW, home made tzatziki sounds lovely if it was done well, and not a million miles away from what you made TBH.

Elderberries · 07/03/2012 20:06

I like crudite but would rather have a richer dip with it.

whattodoo · 07/03/2012 20:07

tethersed that's hilarious!

Darleneconnor · 07/03/2012 20:07

did you not think to google crue de te before starting this thread?

manticlimactic · 07/03/2012 20:08

Supper club? Is that similar to the candle lit suppers Hyacinth used to host?

Rogerbacon · 07/03/2012 20:09

ViolaCrayola

The host chooses a theme for our food and everyone brings a dish. Next months is curry

OP posts:

Hassled · 07/03/2012 20:09

Was there a Greek theme? Who brought the stuffed vine leaves and the halloumi?

A supper club sounds like competitive cooking gorn mad.

OriginalJamie · 07/03/2012 20:09

Blimey - you make your own cheese?

BackforGood · 07/03/2012 20:10

Sorry, you need to explain to the more common amongst us what a Supper Party is6, and crucially, what are the rules ? I mean. presumably everyone is contributing something to the meal and you don't^ want everyone turning up with a main course.
Also, is the point, a group of mates getting together for a natter, or is the point, a competitive cookery competition ?

BackforGood · 07/03/2012 20:10

x-posted with lots!

Tehters, that's brill

CurrySpice · 07/03/2012 20:13

Perhaps she was busy. Or skint. Or both. And perhaps you could crawl out from up your own arse

I feel unreasonably cross now ffs

OP, I want to come to your defence right now. A Supper Club is a right good idea, and delicious and fun and friendly, and crudewhatnot is just not cool.Like turning up for a tennis match with out a racket. It ain't teamy.

ViolaCrayola · 07/03/2012 20:14

Thanks for clarifying. Sounds fun.

Well, if it was literally just shop bought yogurt with chopped cucumber tossed in, then YANBU.

But, looking here it seems that it can get a bit more complicated? Whisks and everything...

pmsl at 'crue de te' and the irony of the OP being so condescending about that persons food, but didnt know it was 'crudite'!

Also secone backforgood's question - surely if everyone brings a main to this 'supper club', then everyone is going to be stuffed/lots of food will be wasted?

Rogerbacon · 07/03/2012 20:14

Blimey - you make your own cheese? Yes I peel it off my nob
