What the heck is this??!!

[fiddlesticksandotherwords]

I just had a rummage in my freezer looking for inspiration for tonight's dinner and found a plastic container containing leftovers of some sort. I always write on the lid what things are, and it clearly says:

CEDRIC GROSS

What in the wide world can it be? Do I have to thaw it so I can find out? It looks like it may be something with rice, but what? 😂

Dead 🐹 hamster?

Could you have written it backwards? So it's actually SSORG CIRDEC?

Happy to help!

We need a photo!

I thought of that @Oddsocks55 and I have also tried holding it up to a mirror so I can read it backwards and upside-down.

Baffled.

What colour is it?

Could the first word be celeriac?

Be careful OP. I recently had spaghetti a la gravy for dinner due to an unlabelled freezer item.

Obvs you have to thaw it, heat it, taste it and MOST IMPORTANTLY, report back here.

This probably won't help but he is a German footballer.

I labelled a pot in the freezer as Runce which was actually tuna.

TBF I knew what it said, DH thought it said Runce

Show us a picture @fiddlesticksandotherwords

It’s chilli, it’s always chilli.

@cuckyplunt 😂

I had cheese sauce for lunch once thinking it was leek and potato soup. Cedric Gross sounds like a Harry Potter character.

Is the gross a comment on the quality of the food - were you giving future you a message that these are last resort leftovers only to be consumed in desperate times?

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Was a German footballer

now he’s in her freezer 😆

I can't believe you would turn a German footballer into chilli and dump him in your freezer. YABU.

Poorly translation as Fat Celeraic?

I'm voting for this one. I have been known to scribble DISGUSTING across recipes so I don't use them again, maybe OP thought this would do for rations in a real emergency when you'll eat anything. If we're right does rather raise the question of why freeze it rather than bin it, though.

At least you didn't think it was custard and serve it with apple crumble!

I am going to have to thaw it out, aren't I? I have already liberated the rather more usefully-labelled PORK ROGAN JOSH and VEGETABLE SAMOSAS and we're having those tonight, so the suspense is going to have to continue until tomorrow I'm afraid...

Is it definitely your handwriting OP?

In my flat-share days we had "great fun" [eyeroll] putting inventive labels on each other's food. Usually anagrams but occasionally various body parts of exes.

CELERY GROSS?

Need a picture of the contents!

Celery gratin?

Something with a Loyd Grossman sauce?

Something Cedric gave you and is gross? Cedric being a cat. and gross being the remains of a fur all awaiting investigation by a vet. Or worse the remains of a furry rodent which may have been last seen as a ‘missing’ poster on Facebook.

Cauli cheese?
