Or are they just greedy bastards?

🤣🤣🤣

I usually make spag bol with a half kilo of mince and that would do at least 4 meals, more like 6 (4 main meals plus two smaller portions for lunch).

Greedy - and selfish.

It's both. They'd be cooking their own food for a good while. I'd be really angry. Fuck that.

You made it sound like you didn't have enough for your dinner but you did, you just didn't have leftovers, it's not ideal, but not as bad as you first made out.

No, because they've made more work for tomorrow - which I think we all know they aren't going to do. OP will have to do it. Such a lack of thought for how OP is planning meals and cooking to make sure everyone is fed.

I would be very annoyed if there was no food left for me, but I would only expect a kilo of mince to feed four people.

If I cook a lot I have to put some in tupperwares straight away or I'd have the same thing.

A Kilo of mince (over 2lb) with added veg and sauce, plus pasta. Don’t be so bloody ridiculous. Not mean at all, and an indication of how selfish people can be.

Is 1 kg of mince going to become the new Mumsnet chicken ? that feeds a whole large family for days ( if not weeks ) and that's with the leftovers frozen for a later date.

It is absolutely how much they ate that makes them greedy !! 1kg of mince - come on. I use around 500g of mince with sauces and veg added and it feeds four of us. Of course it’s greedy - not to mention selfish. I wouldn’t be cooking it again OP.

Quite.

500g doing 12 portions. Nonsense.

I know they said they were hungry blah blah, but didn't you point out that they didn't even leave you a portion? What did they say about that? It's not just greedy, it's really selfish.

Probably threw it down their necks! Not sure it's a compliment at all. Bit of an old fashioned viewpoint of justifying male greed.

I would be delighted if mine did that. I always over-cook and chuck whatever is left for the fox. We have a visiting fox. (Rural area). I don't chuck fillet steak, salmon steaks, etc. But spagbol, for goodness sake, you are so mean!

You would be delighted if your husband and son polished off a generous meal meant for two days (cooked by you) and left you just a token bit?
Should she smile sweetly this evening and get cooking again, or should she leave it until she gets home from work tomorrow?

Even in my house, with two epic male eaters, that would be 2x block servings with seconds; 2 girlie servings and a 1-2 modest portions as left overs.

It’s not just the quantity they ate but the selfishness in leaving you bugger all.

This thread has become a pissing contest between the teeny tinies and their insanely tedious, competitive under-eating.

500g mince between 12 is comedy gold...

Op they owe you a takeaway and a very large apology!!!!! The greedy buggers 😱😱

Exactly, don't give a stuff about anyone else. Tbh you DH should have set a better example to your son. They are both entitled twats with little thought for you.
About time you got them cooking if they don't already! You all work FT so should be a joint effort.

As a positive, they obviously really enjoyed your cooking OP!

The 18 year old lad in a manual job I wouldn’t have so much of an issue with being ravenous and belly being a bottomless pit.

The husband not ensuring a portion was left for you, and making DS very aware it was not to be touched, I would have.

Of course your DS is old enough to know for himself but it sounds like he is following your DH’s lead in terms of selfishness and disrespect.

You throw it out for the fox?! But why? Leftover spag bol is a thing of beauty, it only gets better the next day.

1kg of mince isn't that much. That barely feeds a family of 4 with 2 teens who have hollow legs. But agree with pp the selfishness of leaving you only a laddle would hack me off.

According to the British Dietetic foundation a portion of meat (cooked) is 90g

Raw that's likely 125g so 500g = 4 portions, 1kg =8

I'm overinvested as I just made 1.5kg ('twas reduced!) steak mince into 3kg Bolognese sauce and was hoping it would make 4 adult meals tonight, a large lasagne (6/8 portions) tomorrow and I've taken 2/3 portions to freeze - so approx (12/15 portions overall) - seems okay with the above recommendation.

That’s impressively greedy and selfish

Good work with the wraps freezing!

Blimey, what a pair of greedy sods! For comparison, the other day, I made a pasta bake from a 300g bag of Quorn mince (we're vegetarian), with a 400g tin of chopped tomatoes, one onion, and half a red and quarter of a yellow pepper. I used 4 cups of dried pasta and around three quarters of a cup of grated cheddar on top. That lot served three adults in the evening, with two helpings for lunch the following day. A whole kilo of mince should make plenty more than two and a bit servings!

Yes, they’re greedy bastards but take it as a compliment, they enjoy your cooking.

I agree with this. I don’t find greed and gluttony funny and the complete lack of consideration is disgusting. This isn’t acceptable and I feel sorry for any future partner the DS will have given he thinks it’s acceptable for him and is DF to eat all the food his mother cooked before she even got home. He’s learned that from somewhere…

It’s a horrible selfish attitude to have from both of them and frankly I couldn’t be in the same house as selfish pricks like this.
