Is this a disgusting meal

[imgonnaliveforever]

DH has served me chunks of chicken breast cooked with onions, mixed herbs, white wine and noney (not white wine and honey sauce, just white wine and honey poured in the pan) with rice.

AIBU to think this is really rubbish?

Erm...does anyone on here really give a flying f^ck?

YANBU

that sounds rank

Its the honey that does it

Sounds quite nice. Certainly not "really rubbish" so YABU.

At least he is making an effort to cook for you.

You sound a bit ungrateful.

I've heard worse...a cream liaison would have made it a little more of a "dish" but surely the flavours are not horrendous and that aside, its balanced (assuming some veg)?

True though, do get over it. He's not your personal chef. If a man complained he'd get flamed.

It doesn't appeal to me but then we had Macca's for tea

flip this round??

YABU

True he could have lost the honey and had a dash of cream or marscapone or philly.

Feck it. Get a Dominos, get on with life, job done.

sounds ok, what is white wine and honey sauce, if its not just poured in a pan and cooked?

"At least he's making an effort to cook for you."

Yes, how lucky I am to get cooked for one night a week. I shouldn't expect a man to set foot in the kitchen really, so I should be grateful for whatever I get.

Honey and white wine taste rubbish together. I don't see the point in being cooked for if it is inedible.

Was he thinking it would be like like mead or something?

Too much masterchef watching perhaps?

It does sound a bit shit, tbh

YANBU, I served a shocker of an improvised dinner a few weeks ago, involving pork, stock cubes, veggies (some frozen) and herbs. The finishing touch was natural yogurt. All served with rice. It was so bad I apologized at the table. And didn't make anyone eat it! We had scrambled egg on toast instead.

HE was thinking "what's nearest the front of the cupboard and is quick." Long history of putting non-matching ingredients together, eg linguini, bacon and black bean sauce.

how would you feel if he complained about what you served him?

he was experimenting, it didn't taste great, so what?

Hardly grounds for complaint.

Or do you produce perfect meals for the other 6 nights.

YABVU.

I'd be grateful that DH had cooked at all. We all have culinary "lapses"!

Yes, I produce very good meals every time I cook for him. I do experiment, but based on what I think will taste good not just mix and match from the cupboard.

You are lucky that you are a naturally gifted cook.

Clearly your dh is not as talented as you are.

If it upsets you so much, why not give him a few lessons and he will probably improve+

Doesn't sound to bad to me, but then I am a glutton that will eat practically anything even if I don't really like it [buhmm]

You could always cook 7 nights a week instead!

Einstein..you made me laugh!!! (is that bad.??) but hey, Ive had a couple of glasses of wine! hic

I think yanbu. If he only cooks once a week it sounds like it is under sufference so he deliberately cooks something revolting in the hope that you will stop asking him.

sound disgusting. have some toast instead.

YANBU - foul
