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?

I'm with this poster. It's the school hamster that died in the summer holidays and you wanted to keep proof it had died and not escaped or been kidnapped.

AInightingale · 09/11/2023 15:59

Are you 100% sure you wrote on it, OP, and that Cedric Gross isn't some Chinese takeaway's delivery driver who happened to bring your food that night?

Meezer2 · 09/11/2023 16:00

What is it!

bunniesandguineapigs · 09/11/2023 16:01

could the RIC G bit actually say rice. So CED RICE ROSS (with CED and ROSS meaning something obvs!)

I once thought I had taken sausages out for tea. But they were rat's for dss snakes. We got a small separate freezer for the snakes food after that.😂😂😂

Love a good dinner of "freezer roulette"....

Xiaoxiong · 09/11/2023 16:04

Ooh @bunniesandguineapigs I think you're onto something

Red Rice is a thing - RED RICE ROSS?

Was a German footballer

now he’s in her freezer

Bit extreme even if you hate Germans, Footballers and German Footballers, I think.

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

Me too! (and I have added a watch to the thread) 😂

When I was a student (many decades ago) we had a lecturer called Cedric, who was fairly gross. His research involved weighing the testicles of hamsters exposed to different amounts of daylight, so @Doggymummar could be on the right lines.

Be careful indeed... my mother once had friends for dinner.. the main course went well then she went to serve up the pudding .. lovely berries (defrosted) with meringue and ice cream.....

Anyone fancy meringue, ice cream and.....

Red cabbage casserole??

Hope you can work out what it is... please defrost it and let us know

It is undoubtedly half a tin of pumpkin puree cunningly disguised as enough for two helpings of pureed red pepper and onion pasta sauce.

RubeeMurray · 09/11/2023 16:21

Is Cedric Gross a child at your kid’s school? Are you about to eat his leftover accidentally stolen, frozen and defrosted packed lunch?

KnackeredBack · 09/11/2023 16:21

I was once told about a very drunken night in France, that involved using up an entire freezer full of frozen fruit for daiquiris. Apparently the evening was going swimmingly until the liver daiquiris arrived!

tantrummingterrors · 09/11/2023 16:24

Following with interest! My DH would also eat it - he’ll pretty much eat anything…. 😬

Hopelesslydevotedtoshrews · 09/11/2023 16:25

My Mum served my Dad mash, peas and apple pie with gravy this week having not labelled her pies properly for the freezer. Like a trooper he ate it too because THAT'S LOVE, (also fear I suspect 😂).

Oh good spot! I guess we'll never know

The OP has posted today, though the food is 2 months older so goodness knows what it'll taste like!

Oh hoorah!

Stillafatknacker · 09/11/2023 16:26

Dying to know! 😂

This is known as Freezer Roulette in our house

What is it!

Said numerous times by all the MNers in the style of The Masked Singer.

Newusernameforthiss · 09/11/2023 16:32

Cédric Grolet (have a look at his insta 😋) came round, drunk, and put some Michelin star pâtisserie in your freezer. Bon appetit!

AllTangledUpInTitlesAndTiaras · 09/11/2023 16:32

Oh I'm curious as to what it is! Celeriac is a good shout, actually.

We play freezer roulette sometimes too.

Oddsocks55 · 15/09/2023 15:20

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

Happy to help!

This made me laugh way more than it should have 😂😂
