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!

I wouldn't mind he only got the word artisan from me and mumsnet cos I showed him the artisan slippers thread.

Aw, he was obviously bang up to date with the latest health stories

Why Fat is Good for You sorry, dm link

Perhaps he is going to set a trend for new style healthy eating

"She is just about to have a massive hissy fit but stopped in her tracks when I said daddy ate it by mistake. But it's for the birds. Mummy why did daddy eat it?"

confuddledDOTcom · 06/03/2014 19:45

I can imagine it becoming the new condiment in the family "want some string with that?" I hope your daughter gets as much mileage as possible out of it too "but Daddy, you ate my fat ball "

I wonder if MNHQ can add pictures to posts and whether they would be willing to. Just flutter eyes at them

K8Middleton · 06/03/2014 19:43

I have seen the picture. Ye gods. He is clearly a few seeds short of a bird feeder isn't he?!

I almost wee'd a little!

MrsWeasley · 06/03/2014 19:21

This is brilliant and why I love mumsnet so much!

I thought my mum was bad, she let herself into my house saw a big pot of 'yoghurt' sitting on the counter (next to the paper and scissors) and helped herself to a big spoonful of it. Later when she mentioned she thought the yoghurt wasn't very nice I pointed out it was pva glue complete with a glue spreader!!

MavisGrind · 06/03/2014 19:20

Oh please play music by Fatball Slim when he gets home....and start reminiscing about Johnny 'Think of a Number' fatBall...

NCedToProtectTheIgnorant · 06/03/2014 19:19

This whole thread is brilliant - laughing so hard here!!

Have to admit I would be using this for EVER - any complaints about my cooking - "you ate a fat ball", any complaints about a mistake I made - "you ate a fat ball", any complaints about anything - "you ate a FAT ball!". Hope you're more restrained than me!

BouncingJellyfish · 06/03/2014 19:16

Hurting with laughter at "artisan scotch eggs!"

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 06/03/2014 19:15

Oh I love this so much

I'm going to find ways to slip "fat ball" into conversation tomorrow

Catsmamma · 06/03/2014 19:07

i have been thinking about this all day and sniggering but really....it's an affront to your cooking....

the man who eats a fat ball and claims it to be a bit greasy.

I think you have had perfect provocation to kill.him.dead.

essexgirl46 · 06/03/2014 19:06

my dog broke into the cupboard under the stairs once and ate some fat balls then pebble dashed the kitchen with liquid shit.....the heating had been on and it had sort of baked onto the surfaces it had hit...the smell hit me as i put my key in the lock and i had to clear up the mess whilst doubled in constant retching convulsions...i phoned my now ex husband who was "too busy" to help......don't buy fat balls any more.

DameFanny · 06/03/2014 19:03

Please please say you'll start adding string to his plate... Please?

Ok the last bit of the saga.

I have got in from work now and thought a picture of the remaining fat balls would just round this off perfectly.

So 3 kids, 2 mine one friends, made the fat balls. All 3 balls were in the fridge.
I went in to retrieve one to take a picture and smallest one comes up behind me.
Oh we have to hang those up for the birds" "
yes I just need to take a picture"
Well take a photo of mine

That's not mine .... Where's mine gone.....
Lower lip quivering...

She knows it's hers cos different colour string apparently.

She is just about to have a massive hissy fit but stopped in her tracks when I said daddy ate it by mistake.

But it's for the birds. Mummy why did daddy eat it?
She told the oldest one and they have not stopped laughing

A family legend has begun.

I expect to be outed tomorrow as it will be all round the playground. I know some school mums go on mumsnet as I tell them how hilaire it is.

Off to photo the ball

Omg that's brilliant and SO the sort of thing DH would do!

He once ate a load of cheese cubes that he found in a tub in the fridge. Trouble is they were cubes I'd cut up as dog treats, had been there over a week and during that week had been in and out of my pocket and consequently were covered in crumbs of dog biscuit, assorted pocket fluff and dog spit.

A couple of weeks ago I made chocolate mousse using just chocolate and water. Gorgeous if you like dark chocolate but very intense. He declared that "God that mousse is horrible! Far too bitter for me. Didn't like it at all" but needless to say he ate a whole ramekin full ....

They're so thick at times.

YoureAllABunchOfBastards · 06/03/2014 16:42

I bet you a tenner these are in the shops by Christmas....

Badvoc · 06/03/2014 16:39

My dh would so eat a fat ball.
Sigh....
:)

MavisGrind · 06/03/2014 16:39

In fairness to OP's Great Tit, an artisan scotch egg which looks/tastes like a fat ball is exactly the sort of thing you'd find in the farm shop at Tebay services! If not at Tebay then definitely at Rheged. [local]

Rooners · 06/03/2014 16:34

Twig?

notso · 06/03/2014 16:33

I am just imagining him marching in to Tebay services demanding a refund for the greasy scotch egg!

anklebitersmum · 06/03/2014 16:24

I have tea coming out my nostrils OP, and an "It's not just a fatball it's an M&S fatball" mental image so thank you for that

My DH embarassingly would more-than-likely eat the fatball whilst grazing in the fridge for easy food and have the cheek to complain about it being "a bit greasy"
