She forgot the fucking chutney

[AddToBasket]

Christmas is busy, I know, I know.

DH's sister is here. She has access to the most ambrosial aubergine chutney, homemade, by her MiL. Her MIL won't share the recipe but deigns to share some jars at Christmas. My jar is on SIL's kitchen table 350 miles away.

I can send her back to get it, can't I?

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

Of course!
You can't let her ruin Christmas for everybody

[MsMargaretCarter]

Aargh. I can feel your disappointment from here.

[PreAdvent13610]

Any chance of packing all the people and Christmas stuff into a car or two and transferring to your sisters house for Christmas?

[magimedi]

LTB

Leave the bitch!)

[readyforno2]

She's done this on purpose. No doubt

[InanimateCarbonRod]

Christmas is ruined. Stay in bed. My condolences.

[TheVermiciousKnid]

Face it, she has already eaten it. :(

[OddSocksHighHeels]

Aubergine is horrible. You're better off without it.

[Ohtobeskiing]

She wants it all for herself. She didn't forget it, she 'forgot' it.

[SevenOfNineTrue]

I wouldn't be sad, I hate chutney Seriously though, if you love a food and are denied it when you were expecting it, I'd be annoyed.

[fidel1ne]

Aubergine chutney? 'Ambrosial'? This is a bit of a tall tale, I think

[scribblegirl]

I'm with the posters above. She's had her chutney and eaten it

[Chippednailvarnish]

How far away is the mil?
Could you kidnap her, take her to a supermarket and then force her to make a new batch?

[RomComPhooey]

I'm more inclined to think the MIL IBU in not sharing her recipe so more of the world can benefit. You can hardly blame your SIL for hoarding when its so tightly rationed.

[Eigg]

Saves you a thank you note...

[Hatethis22]

I think you need to take a deep breath. Then work out how to kidnap the MIL and extract the recipe from her. Then post it on here.

[TheRattleBag]

I agree with RomComPhooey. I don't understand why people are so secretive about recipes! If I make something that someone appreciates enough to ask for the recipe, I gladly share it. Just seems mean spirited not to.

[WitchWay]

Oh no - disaster

I fucking love chutney, much nicer than whole pickled things like onions

[MsButteryMash]

I'd have to try making some and see if I could recreate it.

I'd be upset too, I love nice chutney at Christmas - with the cold turkey and ham, in a brown bread sandwich mmmmm

[SecretBondGirl]

Get her to email her mum for the recipe as her dds life is at stake then get her to find an open shop to buy the necessary ingredients she'll be up until 2 am in the morning making it but it'll be worth it to save Xmas

[diddl]

Got to "ambrosial" & was side tracked by the thought of rice pudding!

[TeaFathers]

she ate it.

Aubergine chutney? Vom
