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

Thanks Fraggle! :)

DP puts butter on his croissant. (WRONG) he also tugs his socks on from the cuff (opening) even though I keep telling him he is making hard work of it and he should gather up the sock and slide it over his toes then onto his ankle there is a technique, you silly sod

I only knew the croissant misdimeanour after we were fully committed and living together otherwise it would have been a red flag >> deal breaker.

I am smug. I am a hooker and always have been. it was instinctive (even more smug)

My Ex-DH used to eat sandwich spread. Sick in a jar. Bleugh.

Ugh foolish sandwich spread really is that isn't it, Satan's Sick.

Based on the double carbing , does that mean DPs croissant sin is Double-fatting

what about people at weddings and Christmas do's who grab hold of their bread roll in one hand, slice it in half with the other, then butter the whole thing close it up and eat it like a sandwich. (So WRONG it's an embarrassment) it's mainly blokes in my experience. I sound like a snob, sorry, but it's still WRONG

Brussels roasted in a gratin dish with blue cheese and mushrooms are delicious, although it doesn't go very well with Christmas dinner. Or shredded and stir fried with other veg, meat, stir fry sauces, that's good too. If I'm not roasting mine I steam them lightly but MIL complains that they are undercooked, she says they should melt in the mouth.

Yesterday DH made a serious suggestion that DD could take a cold toasted cheese sandwich in a packed lunch, that is very wrong.

brussel sprouts are best pan fried with loads of butter, breadcrumbs, cinnamon+sugar.

Butter on croissants is not wrong. Neither is jam on them.
Butter and jam together on anything is always wrong.

Sandwich spread is lovely on white bread with ready salted crisps in them

Coco-what does your husband do with an egg, he boils it in a cup?

My DH does that egg(s) in a cup thing. It drives me bonkers because I can't stand the smell of eggs and the noisy chopping thing with a knife and bread in the cup goes on and on and on.

Love butter on croissants. And jam!

No for his egg in a cup ie eating a chopped up egg with butter and salt out of a mug, he hard boils it first - in a pan. This is wrong because it should be a soft boiled egg massacred in a cup.

My thread my roolz - butter on croissants = delish.

Just had my dd's 18th Birthday at a pizza place. Why have I been using matches to light candles all these years? So wrong.

The waiter just lit them with a blowtorch. I WANT one.

Scones are Scottish. Scots say skon for the baked good unless they think they are Hyacinth Bucket and Scoon for the palace. So there.

Licking knives is wrong.

Tea, coffee, cocoa and powdered milk wins though. Wtaf?

Saying 'due to legal reasons' also wrong.

I've just some to this thread, and it's been a revelation to find that DP is not the only person to eat Weetabix and butter, with or without marmalade (he does both).

Somebody saying

'moving forward'

WRONG

Who knows - that's the only way I'll eat sprouts, only I use parmesan and bacon lardons. Drench in cream, add cheese and breadcrumbs... Voilà, edible sprouts! Anything else is wrong.
Yesterday someone asked me if a pair of adidas trainers were mine.
Except they said 'A-DEE-das' not 'AD-idas'.
Wrong.

Chucky eggs.:o

That takes me back, though we always added pepper, too.

And you use dried spaghetti to light candles

Wait, what?

Chucky eggs! that takes me back....my dad would do them for me when I was poorly.

I have memories of OXO cube in hot water with bread and lived it

Just to take the butter on sandwiches debate in a slightly different direction... DH and his entire family butter bread using the back of a teaspoon. A TEASPOON.

I use a knife - preferably a butter knife, but if I cant find one then a normal one is fine. DH says it rips the bread - which is not true IME unless you're using a steak knife or some other inappropriate implement. He is just WRONG.

If I use a teaspoon for butter, it will be to eat it, not spread.

I know it's also wrong. But I really don't give a damn. Me loves butter.

People who ignore the margin on a piece of lined paper, and write across it.

I HATE it!
