is this a weird dinner

[FarQueueFarkYou]

Indian vegetables (microwaved dinner for a supermarket) with a fried egg on top... And a chopped tomato on the side.

[beeny]

sorry sounds gross

[JanetOfTheApes]

Not particularly. But what is your aibu?

[SohowdoIdothis]

Sounds good, but I would poach the egg.

[lastqueenofscotland]

Sounds horrendous.

Not odd just nasty

[FarQueueFarkYou]

Yeah I agree!

I was given it for dinner and feel a bit ungrateful for not enjoying it...

I just don't think it's tasty at all... All the things on their own, fine, but why mix them together?!?

[FarQueueFarkYou]

My AIBU is: is this dinner gross?

[Purplepicnic]

What are Indian vegetables?

Sounds tasty to me, in principle, kind of kedgeree vibe with Indian flavours with egg, as PP I too would poach the egg!

However this is the sort of thing i may make for myself with odd bits in the fridge, probably wouldn't serve to someone else as an actual meal.

We had fried rice topped with a fried egg, not had it with Indian veg but I don't see why not.

[ILostItInTheEarlyNineties]

What are Indian vegetables? Are they just spicy potatoes?
I'd probably eat it. I like trying new things. Not sure how a fried egg would fare in the microwave though. Bit rubbery? Maybe that was a serving suggestion i.e. not included.

[Philoslothy]

We do a sort of Indiam fried rice with lots of vegetables and a poached egg - it is delicious

[FarQueueFarkYou]

Yeah, I think it can be made nicely... I would poach the egg, add some rice, salt/pepper.

I was literally given a folded-over fried egg, no seasoning, plonked on bed of vegetables. Unsalted tomato on the side.

I hate disappointing dinners!

[stiffstink]

Did you have the yoghurt dip with egg? That's gross, definitely.

[BrienneofQarth]

I have to ask...who made you that??

[Pinkheart5915]

Doesn't sound very nice, I wouldn't of wanted it.

As you say though done properly, nice poached egg bit of seasoning could of been very nice.

[Birdsgottafly]

I can't think of the name of the Punjabi curry that is served with an egg on top, there are fishes that come with an omelette, as well, so not that strange.

[scribblegirl]

I don't think that sounds very nice and I'm the queen of random combo dinners the other day DP looked at me in horror as he saw me dipping seafood sticks into mint sauce and asked if I was pregnant

[0phelia]

Theoretically that sort of ensemble can be delicious.
Sorry, though. A microwavable selection of Indian veg in a plastic container from Tesco... Just... Wrong, horrible and wrong.

YANBU. It's a gross meal.

[Boozena]

It sounds Nigella-esque. She does a bombay potato dish topped with fried egg- I wouldn't fancy it though. Something wrong about egg & spices.

[scarednoob]

It sounds like someone tried to replicate something they'd seen in a restaurant or something!

[ABitSensible]

Sounds like what you'd cobble together on the last day before payday not envy, boak

[0phelia]

A lovely home cooked spicy veg selection, with egg and some fresh tomato would be rather up my street. I'd serve it with spiced potato and spinach...

[0phelia]

No microwavable nastiness.

Thanks all for the support Went round to my parents' tonight and my mum offered to make me dinner, I did eat a bit but I think I have offended her as I had a mini-rant about how it wasn't very tasty Feel bad now!!!

But it just isn't that nice, is it??!
