To Judge The Daylights Out Of DP?

[queeneileen]

I'm judging his food tastes. He's judging mine.

We had salad for tea last week (I'm eating salad now and it's reminded me) and I think salad is great for all the nibbly bits you add on: tomatoes, onions, pickled onions, sweetcorn, beetroot, peppers, mushrooms, carrot, coleslaw, mayo, etc.

Dp reckons it's just lettuce. With mayo. Thassit.

He says I'M the wrong one.

This is just the tip of the foody iceberg. He doesn't like the texture of onions, so I have to blend pasta sauces.

And he eats round food he doesn't like, and leaves it in a little pile.

And he doesn't understand the appeal of coffee or olives, as they're "too strong"

My heart loves him, my stomach says LTB.

Is he a man or a mouse?!

You need to both move into a hotel with a buffet, so that you can serve yourselves.

Salad is nice but no beetroot, pickled onion. Also no coffee sorry

I was totally baffled by what sort of 'round food' he was eating despite disliking it.

Then I read it properly.

I blame the heat.

Serve up your lovely multi components salad and give him lettuce and Mayo. He'll soon learn.

Mayo on a salad?

I think your salad sounds yummy though prefer salad dressing to mayo please
definitely LTB

I'm with you other than the peppers. Those bastard things give me indigestion.

In fact, you can tell him I'm about to have a salad of quinoa, coconut, raisins and mango to go with my salmon. Followed by a good strong coffee

Sweetcorn in a salad is wrong. YABU

Anyone who eats raw onion is BU.

It's moments like this that I appreciate we still live in separate houses.

I've eaten all the pickled things with today's salad and I fair stink of vinegar.

The worst bit is that this is the least fussy he's ever been...... his poor mum.

Always space for sweet corn in a salad! And celery, bacon bits and cheese.

You're both wrong.

A salad is lettuce, cucumber, tomato, onion (spring, preferably), and peppers. Ground sea salt, sesame seeds and milled flaxseed added to taste, and a vinaigrette if you're not having meat/eggs/fish/cheese with it.

Coffee isn't all that pleasant, and olives are the devil's testicles.

HTH

Olives are pointless balls of oil

Pickles on a salad? Carrot? Where's the avocado?

No avo's in.

He doesn't eat those either.

Or bananas. Or mushrooms.

I need to know his stance on croutons before I make my decision.

I love this thread

Salad in Britain is lettuce, tomato, cucumber, radishes, celery sticks in a stainless steel jug, squares of cheddar, and salad cream. Never mayo. Never sweetcorn. So you're both wrong. HTH

I am with your DP. I am well aware, however, that I am being unreasonable.

ifgrandma - no croutons.

Oh and he buys mild/medium cheese and I judge the everliving daylights out of him for that.

That's not happening when we move in together.

He buys mild cheese that's worse than decaf coffee!

Does this man have any redeeming features?

I know, right?!

I'm going to have to write a pros and cons list................

Jeez, Lettuce and mayo, I have more than that in a salad and I hate most of the food you just mentioned.

I will defend mild cheese though.

Lettuce isn't really that nutritious

DP and I have lived together for ten years. We shop, cook and eat separately.
