He is moaning that the hotpot he has just finished wasnt very tasty and he didnt like the texture of it.

He went to the shop and bought the bloody thing himself.Angry

He chose it from the vast array of ingredients and ready meals on offer. When he brought it home I expressed surprise that he chose this meal out of all possibilities. He hates 'stews' of any kind.

He was huffy about my lack of knowledge of his tastes.

Then he went to fetch his glasses so he could read the ingredients Hmm

He ate it begrudgingly and Im silently laughing at him .You would think a man could buy himself something actually edible wouldnt you?

At least he didn't refuse to try it and then insist you cook him 2 or 3 different ones rejecting them as he went. (in toddler style).
Just let him have his sulk.
Unless it says finest its probably donkey
Hee haw

I would like to see him try that game Donkey

Im incapacitated so cant cook at all hence the trip to the shop.He got me lasagne which was fine ,but no garlic bread or anything to go with it.

Apparently though it is all my fault as I suggested which shop to go to and he was bamboozled by the choice. They should put all mens favorite foods right by the door just like they do in department stores apparently.

Ummm...is this the first time he has entered a large shop selling food?

MissStrawberry · 28/09/2013 20:00

That makes no sense.

HE chose it but had a problem with you not knowing he doesn't like hot potty things EVEN THOUGH YOU DO!

Confused.

Yabvu to be incapacitated and unable to cook gourmet meals for your beloved

I did chuckle at him being cross that you know he doesn't like stewy things... "But I doooooo"... "Oh . You were right"

edlyu · 28/09/2013 20:20

Exactly MissS Smile and stubborn

Although to be fair he isnt 'actually' blaming me.

Just was being put out that he had to go and chose the food himself without direction.I cant do it and he has managed okay for a while now but today apparently today it was difficult as he had too much choice

Left to himself we would have Fray bentos pies at every meal.Wink

Tell us what it is like being married to a one day old.

edlyu · 28/09/2013 21:16

That was it Turniptwirl .He went on what the picture showed (sliced potatoes) rather than reading the name or description . When I was surprised he was miffed at my doubting him and then backtracked once he opened the cooked meal.

He definitely isnt a one year old -capable in most other ways just not very handy when it comes to food shopping.

Clearly he should be made to do more of it, then. It's the only way he'll improve.

edlyu · 28/09/2013 21:48

I agree LOTW . He obviously needs some remedial help in this direction.

He is now eating a consolatory bar of chocolate Grin

well I would hold off throwing things at him if he agrees to share his chocolate with you. Grin

My DH once chose a cake with raisins in despite not liking them. I did point them out but he insisted it would be fine. It wasn't. He thought they were choc chips despite me saying they were raisins. And this was with me standing beside him. Hmm
