People who are doing it WRONG

[GloGirl]

My Dad loves to talk about how he enjoys a good barbecue in this weather, once he even invited a lot of family round for one.

His version of a BBQ is a George Formby grill (natch), and in nice weather he plugs it in outside to cook a burger or sausage on. He is quite evangelical about how clever it is to barbecue that way.

It gives me the gritted teeth rage.

Anyone else who is doing it ALL WRONG? Offload here

And it should be cream for coffee, not milk.

I love visiting the UK. I love pretty much everything about the UK. UK food is great and gets better every year. It would all be absolutely perfect if I could get cream in my coffee.

Oh! I was picturing it as a cool, literally cool, place to spend a few weeks in the summer! lol

lance yes it's wrong. Very wrong.

We do spend several weeks in the summer in the Chautauqua Lake area of NY (about a 3 hr. drive from Seneca Falls). It is usually cool, in both meanings of the word.

Yes....defintley cream in coffee!!!!!

Or at the very least full fat milk in coffee, not that skimmed red top shite.

I'm not even going to weigh in on the gas BBQ debate because being vegetarian so only having Quorn sausages and veggie burgers probably means I'm doing it 'wrong' regardless.

I can't get my head around bra swivelling. That's completely wrong! But I don't put my arms in before doing it up. I'm a 'do it up at the back then put arms through' girl.

Butter in ALL sandwiches and toast (including peanut butter and Nutella). In fact, butter on pretty much any and all bread products. I have been known to butter wraps and pita bread depending on the filling and who I'm with.

Also, why would anyone in their right mind butter toast AFTER IT'S GONE COLD?? That's so very, very wrong. The best thing about toast or toasted bagels/hot cross bun etc. is that the butter melt into it!

The whole couscous being left wing thing made me think of my dad insisting DH was 'girly' because of the kind of salad he picked. My dad had one that was slightly peppery (had rocket in or something) and because DH went for the slightly sweet one (maybe had grated carrot) he was 'girly'. And don't even get me started on the 'girly cutlery'.

No, no, no to all the bra swivelling! Very wrong!!

I make a delicious lasagne stealth boast and yet DH likes to cover it in salad cream and mix it all up - similar to your DP with mince Helen. Wrong, wrong wrong!!

I've always considered butter on sandwiches a British thing or a Yankee (looking at you DH) thing. Here in the American South, it's always mayo and/or mustard and plenty of it.

Lancelottie when I was a guide we used to have a chicken casserole on guide camp that was basically chicken, onion and carrot mixed with chicken soup and a couple of stock cubes. We cooked on a fire (not a bbq) and served with rice. It always went down well

Red top milk should be called milk, it should have a different name

I would also like to add That cube libre should have lime juice and at least on wedge of lime in it. It's not just a rum and coke

shouldn't be called milk

I bought a sandwich last week (here in Britain) without butter in it, but it was sausage and onion with some kind of lovely mustard in it. It was absolutely delicious, but I can't remember what mustard it was.

I know it wasn't anything like Coleman's, French's or similar; it was kind of sweetish and yellow though.

Someone put the milk in my tea last once. Worst day of my life.

I found this funny... (especially the one about the word literally )

Probably American mustard MadeMen

Not sure that's the official name of it, it's milder than Dijon and you feel it a lot less in your nose than English mustard.

I some times get Frenchs (think that's the name. Because obviously it's important to have different mustards to have the right mustard in an emergency mustard situation.

I HAVE FRONT FASTENING BRAS!!

Anyhoo. DH has a set of rules within his head concerning brown sauce and ketchup (which he calls red sauce. Wrongness already). These sauce rules cover every single food combination and possible food related scenario and must never ever be deviated from. We have learnt, from painful, bitter experience, never to discuss these rules.. Needless to say, 99% of these rules are, in my eyes and the eyes of all right thinking people, Wrong Wrong Wrong. I still have painful memories of Christmas 1999 and the Brown Sauce on Salmon incident.

He can't unfasten my fucking front fastening bra either.

MadeMan, there is honey mustard which goes nicely with caramelised onions, bangers and crusty bread. Also beer mustard (even better imo) and cider mustard :)

I'm allergic to shop-bought sausages because of the sulphites, but thinking about sausage sarnies has made me miss them so badly I've just bought a sausage machine!

Brown Sauce on Salmon ????

Honey mustard you say!

Where can one get this?

JovialNickname I also know someone who calls salmon "sall-mone" - it is super-annoying.

My MIL, who is mad as a box of frogs in a variety of different ways, calls brioche "broc". The first time she did this it caused much confusion.

My GMIL, who is lovely but bonkers, makes homemade fruit compote and then throws it over the fence to feed the foxes. They love it apparently.

Actually, considering his heritage, I should be grateful that DH only cooks cheese on toast in the microwave. It could be worse by an order of magnitudes.

Yes, it might have been honey mustard Garlick. I'll have to look around the shops this week; cider and beer mustards sound good too. Definitely have to have different mustards in the cupboard like you and Wixing say.

Controversial- but those women ( there'll be some here) who put their bras on backward then shimmy it round before hooking their arms in- they are WRONG.

But I can't do it the proper way, my arms don't go far enough, thanks to arthritis.

So where do I get decent front fastening bras?

Dh dusts with no polish. He says that's polishing not dusting!
