to think my whole family is totally U

[EndangeredSpecies]

I love lasagne and so does DS and also DH. I usually do it about once a week. However the past four times all hell has broken loose whenever it appears on the table, each time for a different reason. 1st time: DS refuses to eat my homemade variety and informs me "this is disgusting they make it much better in the shop". 2nd time: DD refuses to eat it because it contained tomato sauce instead of being the cheese-only variety. 3: DD refuses to eat it full stop.

4th time: had a blazing row at lunchtime because DH couldn't be arsed to heat up the lasagne properly and it was cold in the middle. Stone cold. He does this every time because he never heats up the oven first and then puts the food in for 10 mins and never checks it afterwards despite having been asked a billion times (at least) to do so.

He then tries to convince me it wasn't stone cold but tepid and that anyway it doesn't matter. I said yes it does matter because you can get food poisoning from food that isn't reheated properly (not sure if this is true but who cares it tastes crap when cold)

Yesterday DD threw a massive strop because of the same lasagne (served fresh and hot), said it was disgusting and refused to eat it. Today same DD said "this is lovely mummy" and cleared her plate. Despite it being cold.

AIBU to feel like Garfield, just want to enjoy my lasagne in peace and quiet without world war 3 blowing up around me.

Yanbu!

Make yourself an individual lasagne and point the rest of them to the kitchen.

Just make bol pasta bake instead for a change. Pasta shelss mixed with the bol mix and then topped with white sauce. Maybe they are just a bit bored? (btw i love it and could eat it every day)

Sorry, OP but am PMSL at Lasagne-gate. This is too funny.

Who tagged you ?

And made the lasagne position of the family your whole concern ?

YANBU, eat it or make your own dinner would be my tact. I love lasange and would happily freeze the rest in me sized potions to be enjoyed alone

I also thought of calling the thread Lasagnegate . "The lasagne position of the family is no longer my concern. I can see clearly now, that I was wrong in not acting more decisively and forthrightly in telling the whole family where they could shove their lasagne".

Aye, stop making it (except an individual portion for you) and when they ask why tell them you're fed up of ww3 breaking out every time you do.

Gah! Drives you mad, doesn't it?

DD2 loves spaghetti bolognaise but throws a hissy fit at lasagne. So last time I grabbed her plate, scraped off the cheese, cut her pasta sheets into shreds and gave it back to her - "OK, here you go, spaghetti bolognaise!" The little rat ate it all.

Yanbu. But wtf is cheese only lasagne? That's not possible surely?

Lasagne always tates better the next day even cold

Just to explain Tippychoocks - I live in Italy where there are about 100 different types of lasagne, some made with cheese and mushrooms, some with artichokes and cheese, some with seafood and bechamel sauce. And the classic meat/tomato sauce and bechamel variety.

Just to add extra interest, DH has lactose intolerance which means he cannot eat the all-cheese variety (which DD approves of) as too much milk gives him cramps and the runs.

It's a culinary minefield, chez moi.

Thank the baby cheeses, I thought it was some kind of scariness that Iceland had brought out.
mmmmm, artichokes.

How old are your children?

My ds1 is now 7 and he went through a stage of saying (At every single meal) "yuk- don't like it". He hadn't even sat down at this point and once he had started to eat he would finish it off. I got so fed up with this- especially as ds2 started to copy.

So one day after the usual outburst, I picked up his dinner and tipped it in the bin telling him that as it was so "yuk" then he wouldn't want it and wouldn't be getting anything else.

He hasn't muttered the word "yuk" since

Pah! Just tell them they can like it or lump it and to stop acting like little brats or you'll feed them spiders instead.

I have to hide lasagna from dh as if I make 2 or more meals worth, he eats a portion cold for breakfast leaving me stuck for dinner.

Would you like to swap with my family. They all love lasagne... I hate it.
