Does DH have weird ideas about cooking?

[sneezecake]

I Love dh I really do but when he says he's going to 'suprise' me by making tea I have cold sweats, but rather than hurt his feelings or take over I just let him get on with it.
Tonights concuction: (FOR ME) fried egg and beans on hot cross bun!
previously I've had gamon with pasta and rice with bolognase sauce and peas.
I'm suffering with the flu at the moment so I suppose if it wasn't for him I would be eating at all.

My b/f likes to think he is a very good cook. He is quite good at a few things but has some odd ideas. Like spending ages over a Lasagne only to use a packet of cheese sauce when I could of rustled one up in 5 mins that ruined it. It did annoy me. He also doesn't have a clue how to make a basic tomEato sauce and thinks he prefers Dolmio as I once let him think that the defrosted Bolognese was his made with Dolmio

We also get a ton of butter and salt in everthing.... and all I can taste is salt and he thinks it wonderfull

Oh and I forgot to mention his lovely 'gravy'... he used to like doing this himself only I used to forget to give him a half hour warning... so he would come in as dinner was about near to serving and say "shall I do the gravy?".... Then throw to one side the lovely meat juices and start frying onions and mushrooms... for ages.. think burger bar style onions, and mix them into Oxo and maybe a bit of Bisto to thicken.... and he woukd think it wonderfull.

I've gone back to rescuing to juices before they get poured down the sink

PMSL, that sounds nom nom. YANBU

My mum always used to reminisce about thetime she was ill in bed and my dad cooked her poached eggs then thought "what can I do with all this lovely hot water?", made porridge in it (slimy fragments of egg white still in situ), realised it looked a bit grim, and emptied a can of peaches onto it. To her dying day my mum remembered it as the worst meal she'd ever had, but very much appreciated the sentiment. Now he's a widower, well, thank god for M&S ready meals!

Thank god, getorfmeiland- the voice of sanity!

Mmmm,hmmmm.

That's me nodding emphatically at seeker and getorf

You don't need for your partner to be able to conjure up wonderful feasts - god help me I would be bored to death after a month if DP was solely responsible for choosing and cooking our food - but he can cook normal, recognisable and tasty meals. Not bollocks like hot cross buns and baked beans. Why did you not tell him to stick it take it away as inedible and make a bloody effort to cook you something decent?

"Ha ha, where is the real food?"

is what I would be croaking if I were ill and presented with baked beans on hot cross bun.

look!

Looked.

There was an advert for a toy kitchen called A La Carte Kitchen in the 80s, and it showed a young girl serving up swiss roll and cold beans to her delighted looking parents.

The child in the ad was about 3.

That's a feast compared to what my step MIL served up last time i visited, pasta with gravy beans and sprouts (very hard horrible sprouts) It actually wasn't too bad tasting apart from the uncooked sprouts!!

That's a firm favourite (mama) with the children in the school canteen at work. Pasta and beans, pasta and gravy, pasta and grated cheese.
