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? 😂

Thanks for the first thread in 12 months to make me laugh, and feel slightly less lonely in my 'microwaving my lunch and hoping it's edible' moments at work.

Will we only find out after dinner?? 😭

Ahahahahahaaaa! 😅

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

<something> ghosht?

I'm not sure I've had any worse label mishaps than a chicken vs chickpea curry confusion.

My first kiss at summer camp was with a french not named Cedric. Happy times, not Gross

Just googled the Ladybird books the Garden Gang in case there was a Cedric and it might give us a hint but sadly no.

I've been having a bad day and reading this thread has really tickled me. Thanks 😂

I’ve been googling whether the German footballer (or any of the other Cedric Grosses online) has published any recipes.

I may be overinvested.

(The answer is no by the way)

Shameless placemarking.
I remember this post from September and would love to know what CEDRIC GROSS is

Legend has it that repeating "SSORG CIRDEC" five times out loud in front of a mirror conjures up the ghostly apparition of a German footballer.

On the basis you use the word "dross" for meh food in one of your posts, could you have written dross, not gross?

Curried Dross? Did you make a non descript curry and freeze the leftovers?

This made me laugh @Hopelesslydevotedtoshrews.
My dad's a trooper too when it comes to freezer roulette but there's definitely a hint of, "It doesn't matter what it is, I cooked it, so you WILL bloody eat it" from mum😁

Got to be Curried… something, hasn’t it?

It must defrosted enough now to be sniffable at least. Come on OP, give us a clue.

Love the rats instead of sausages
As a fellow snake owner we have dedicated the bottom freezer drawer as snake food only! Though my dad is partial to sneaking his own meat in there when he's not fancied a steak/leg of lamb etc he's bought and its getting close to date.

Something casserole?

😶

Unlikely to be a Cedric Grolet recipe, he only does patisserie. Unless it's riz-au-lait?

I bet it's this! Cedric casserole (bigoven.com)

CELERIAC ROAST

How lovely to have only found this thread just before the reveal!

I once asked our work receptionist to decipher the telephone message she’d left on my desk - she had a good long look and said cheerfully, “No Mavis, can’t make head nor tail of it, sorry!”

Could… could you be her, @fiddlesticksandotherwords ? You’d be about 85 years old now.

Still no answer to this!

Still waiting on the answer… But you’ve inadvertently inspired me to make celeriac curry with cardamom rice!

I quite fancy a celeriac and leek gratin.

So that's what happened to him.
