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? 😂

For the avoidance of doubt, yes it is definitely my writing and no, nobody else is likely to label anything going into the freezer and no, I don't know anyone of any species called Cedric.

It is something in an orangey-brown sauce at one end, with rice at the other.

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

Well, George Osborne said he would like to do this to Teresa May

It’s chilli, it’s always chilli.

Or Fish Pie

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 15/09/2023 17:30

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

*was… a German footballer … he’s now served in frozen Tupperware

43ontherocksporfavor · 15/09/2023 17:44

Need a photo of the the writing.

cherryassam · 15/09/2023 17:47

C & Rice is my guess for ‘Cedric’

And chilli is the obvious answers for the C…

Or maybe curry?

I stick by the gross being a comment on how nice it was. It’s the sort of thing I’d write on leftovers so I don’t take it out on a bad day where horrible dinner will tip me over the edge

OneLittleFinger · 15/09/2023 17:54

Could you provide a photo of the label, please?

fiddlesticksandotherwords · 15/09/2023 18:11

Soz. Can't supply photo, my phone has lost its mojo and will take photos but won't let me attach or upload them to anything. If a random family member appears later on, I'll try with theirs.

For descriptive purposes, it is in a plastic box with a lid, originally containing Chinese takeaway (I save the things and have dozens of them), and it has the words clearly written in capitals on the lid with a sharpie.

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 15/09/2023 18:18

Is it possible it isn’t your writing - but something that the takeaway wrote on the lid?

43ontherocksporfavor · 15/09/2023 18:24

Got loads of those too. With writing on from the takeaway!!! 😂

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 15/09/2023 18:26

Which could mean that a customer / employee called Cedric is gross?

ItsAStupidQuestion · 15/09/2023 18:29

Does it smell spicy/tomatoey?

User478 · 15/09/2023 18:31

Sour Dough Starter?

Someone gave us once that had a name, it might have been Cedric.

Probably didn't look like curry and Rice though...

Beargrumps22 · 15/09/2023 19:43

sounds like sweet and sour chicken or similar with rice because of the orange colour

dippyflippy · 15/09/2023 20:22

Can't be sour dough. His name is Herman.

fiddlesticksandotherwords · 09/11/2023 14:45

Well... CEDRIC is being defrosted. It's that time of year when you clear out all the freezer dross surprises, and tonight's the night we find out what it is!

DH has said he will eat it, the fool. 😂

I'm having something unlabelled, but is recognisably some sort of chilli.

It's been there a further 2 months?! Grin

So pleased I came across this thread today and not in September!

I thought a freezer container of boiled rhubarb was bolognaise sauce once. First time we have ever had rhubarb crumble and custard as a main course - the DC loved it.

WinteryWonderland · 09/11/2023 14:51

Following. I need to know what this is once thawed 🤣

minipie · 09/11/2023 14:54

He actually is a footballer 🤣 what are the chances

4naansjeremy · 09/11/2023 14:55

We used to wrap hot cross buns in foil and freeze them. I’d pop one into my lunchbox and it would keep the rest of the food cold on a summers day.

Once while sitting in traffic between appointments I unwrapped one and ended up biting into a semi defrosted raw garlic chicken kiev.

So my advice would be tread carefully OP!

Babysharkdoodoodood · 09/11/2023 14:56

Mines always curry

BoohooWoohoo · 09/11/2023 14:58

I've never scrolled through a thread so fast. I look forward to hearing what it is.

dudsville · 09/11/2023 15:05

You don't know anyone called Cedric?
