To think this must be the worst meal ever.

Dh normally gets home at about 7pm. Dc have already eaten, I'm on a diet so do my own meals and dh cooks for himself.

Last night he came in and made the following:

Mashed potato, tinned tuna, raw onion, brown sauce and baked beans. All mixed together.

It looked like a plate of dogs vomit.

Dh insists this a acceptable meal. So MN jury is it?

I'm wondering why don't you do two portions of your meal and he can nuke it instead of him making up a meal that sounds horrendous. I think he is crying out for help.

was it red onion? in that case it is acceptable.

I'd eat it...but without the brown sauce.

dh made some sushi the other day. It consisted of the appropriate type of rice and seaweed, but he stuffed them with carrot sticks, crabpaste and philadelphia cheese Hmm

My DH does it too. I call it Army Food because it looks like it should be in a billy can or whatever they're called!

Gross. Yanbu.

Ha ha at sling it in a trough

My dh will quite happily eat chicken tikka sandwich filling together with mussels in a sandwich. He also once told me that although the spaghetti bolognese I'd made looked really good what would really top it off would be can of tuna mixed in. I kid you not. Luckily he knows he's weird and doesn't expect me to eat his gross food combos!

DH has to kiss me before eating raw onions and I don't like brown sauce.
I have, however, made all kinds of cheese, tomato, ham and salmi messes with spare mash and a microwave.
I'd certainly add baked beans if I had any.

Yuck.

My friends favourite slimming world 'meal' was a can of baked beans, a can of mushy peas and chip shop style curry sauce all mixed together, eaten hot or cold, with 3 syns worth of sugar puffs and healthy A milk for pudding. Disgusting, he did lose 5 stone in 5 months though.

It's a hash. If you replaced the tuna with corned beef I would be well up for it. Alternatively if you replaced the beans with cheese I would be happy with the tuna version.

DH.made lunch yesterday.Being Monday it was leftovers.Slices of gammon,boiled potatoes,2 fried eggs,mushy peas all covered and I mean covered with parsley sauce(packet).He's recently retired and is becoming rather creative cooking wise.

Chubfuddler · 21/02/2012 14:49

If that was a tin of corned beef instead of tuna it would a sort of corned beef hash. And yummy. I'm prepared to believe it tasted good with the tuna too.

Well....I would have a jacket spud with tuna and onions, maybe with beans as well. OH would have the brown sauce as he puts it on bloody everything but I wouldn't.

I have standards.

LaurieFairyCake · 21/02/2012 16:08

I can beat all of these with dh's concoction.

Chick peas in their own water, kidney beans in their own water - boiled into mush for half an hour until it resembles loose diarrhoea.

On toast.

That is it - no flavourings, no sauce, nothing else - absolutely disgusting - and it always makes me wonder why on earth I bother cooking at all if he's happy with that. Hmm

PeanutButterChocolate · 21/02/2012 19:27

That is truly horrible, Laurie. Quite healthy though, I suppose.
