He has eaten a fat ball

And complained to me that it was a bit greasy.

Sigh

the fuckwit has eaten the fatballs made by the children in a park last week and left in the fridge to solidify.

I have no idea what culinary delight he thought they were supposed to be.

I wouldn't mind but he was there when they made them!

marking place yo find out if the string was consumed this I'd brilliant!

Bearandcub · 06/03/2014 07:26

Oh my, this has made my day. Just read thread and had more anticipation than with the last whodunit I read!

Thank you Manifesto's Great Tit

Sparklingbrook · 06/03/2014 07:21

OMG he didn't eat the string did he Manifesto?

MyGastIsFlabbered · 06/03/2014 07:21

Shamelessly marking place for strong explanation

Sparklingbrook · 06/03/2014 07:21

NoArmani here you go. Yum. The shop bought ones smell so awful they make me heave.

Update is he is fine.

Not a bother on him.

He must have the Constitution of a donkey!

A very very stupid donkey.

I will ask him what he thought the string was for and amaze you with his reply when we have sorted the morning out.

Laughing so hard I snorted and woke the baby!
So he took a bite, thought "hmm these are very greasy" and just carried on eating anyway?!?!?!?? What the hell did he think the string was for? (tell me he ate that too )

Ubik1 · 06/03/2014 04:06

Am also on nightshift and am sniggering away...

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 06/03/2014 04:05

NoArmani, fatballs are generally made to feed wild birds. You aggregate leftover fats (eg, from the grillpan) with bought seeds, shape into balls, add a string so you can hang it... Very Blue Peter. There are arguments that fatballs can kinda "glue" a bird's mouth, but I'm not sufficiently familiar with them to reiterate.

Fatballs are never intended for human consumption.

Riddo · 06/03/2014 03:49

I'm weeping with laughter, fortunately already in spare room to escape DH's snores.

Morloth · 06/03/2014 03:11

My DH would totally eat a fat ball if it was sitting the fridge.

He would probably also then tell me they were nice.

NoArmaniNoPunani · 06/03/2014 03:02

I've never heard of a fat ball, it sounds vile.

Hopefully the lardy poo will wait until he's in the work toilet

CalmaLlamaDown · 06/03/2014 02:32

I'm on a night shift and it made me laugh too, and there's not too many laughs around here at the moment I'm telling you.

Did his mates eat them too? They won't be allowed to come to your house no more.

Patilla · 06/03/2014 01:51

Oh this is hilarious. I'm sat here holding a baby who has not long been sick and whose tummy is still making odd gurgling noises.

This has cheered me up thank you.

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 06/03/2014 01:33

OMG!
That sounds like something dp would do! Men!!!

DrewsWife · 06/03/2014 01:31

I'm laughing hard internally. I'm desperate to laugh out loud!

Bumpiemalumpie · 06/03/2014 01:27

oh god, woke the new born with my stifled laugh not the snoring DH!!!

recall · 06/03/2014 01:23

I can't believe he ate them even though they were strung together very very funny

Butterandnutellaplease · 06/03/2014 01:14

Do you think he pulled the string through his teeth to get the last little fatty morsels off or did he just chuck that down his gullet too?

GoldfishCrackers · 06/03/2014 01:14

Stop it! No matter how much I try to stifle the laughter I'm making the whole bed shake and am going to wake the whole house if I'm not careful.

musicposy · 06/03/2014 01:12

You could give him those charcoal dog biscuits that soak up fat and stop dogs farting; I reckon that would help.
No need to tell him what they are - just present them as breakfast biscuits. He'll be well away.

toomanyeasterbunnies · 06/03/2014 01:07

I'm failing miserably at trying not to laugh too loudly!

musicposy · 06/03/2014 01:07

Please stop, I have tears of laughter streaming down my face and I'm going to wake the rest of the household!
DH has eaten dog biscuits before (I suspect less accidentally than he makes out) but fat balls!
I'm so tempted to make some now and leave them out.....

BelleOfTheBorstal · 06/03/2014 01:02

He was with you when you made them? Oh dear god!
