People who are doing it WRONG

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 Brew

'Pie sandwich'. My DH thinks this is normal. So wrong! Shock

OhEmGeee · 30/06/2015 18:34

I love ketchup on a cottage pie or fish pie (much to DH's disgust)!

A gas BBQ is cheating, it's just an oven outdoors.

All sandwiches should have butter.

Tea should be hot water, brewed then milk. Putting the milk first is wrong and ends up with watery cats piss tea.

StephenKatz · 30/06/2015 18:41

I think I can beat you all. My parents brought DB and I up on...microwaved bacon.

Bacon, on a plate, 2 minutes. That's how bacon was cooked as far as I was concerned. DH and SIL were both equally HORRIFIED when they say what we did and both promptly introduced us to our friend grill. Or pan, if a special occasion Grin

I'm afraid I also put milk in with my teabag before the water, but in my defence I only do it because it gives me something to do while I wait for the kettle to boil!

EsmereldaPB · 30/06/2015 18:46

Agree about gas BBQs

The bread for cheese on toast should only be toasted on one side - toast one side, flip, cover with cheese and then back under the grill

Butter/Marg/Spread are all equally vile and should only be used an a baking ingredient, never in sandwiches (I can't even really comprehend a butter/weetabix combo)

Chip shop chips are much better if they have been sat for a while, I'd rather wait a few more minutes in the shop than have chips that have been cooked for the minimum amount of time. This doesn't apply to kebab shop chips though. Also chip shop chips should have ketchup and kebab shop chips mayonnaise. All chips should have lots of vinegar and no salt.

Eggy bread should only be a savoury dish having it as a sweet dish is wrong.

I too am a bra cup flipper (do bra up at the back but upside down/inside up, then put arms in straps and flip the cups up), I'm hoping that I will be ok when the revolution happens

niddy a pie sandwich? That's a Wigan Kebab Grin

grumpysquash · 30/06/2015 18:58

My FIL has been known to enjoy a take away curry from a nice Indian restaurant near us.
So much so that he mixes the curries together with a spoon before he eats them (I don't mean individual curries, he puts a portion of each on his plate and stirs it like he's mixing paint).
WRONG, so WRONG. He dips samosas in too.
We don't buy them any more Sad

WixingMords · 30/06/2015 19:30

Tell you what's very wrong, I'm considering trying a weetabix with butter.

HelenF35 · 30/06/2015 19:52

No the mince is not rinsed, if he did that he would be out the door! I don't understand how he can think that the combination of salad cream, mince and gravy is normal! Confused

LadyCuntingtonThe3rd · 30/06/2015 20:22

Forgive me Mumsnet, as I have done WRONG. I used to spread mayo on bread and eat it. I also occasionally eat bread with herring, onions and boiled egg, but it comes from my foreign heritage.
My friend eats pasta bolognese in sandwichConfused

trinitybleu · 30/06/2015 20:23

so ...

I butter my sandwiches
Weetabix is the work of the devil
I don't have a gas BBQ
I fasten my bra at the back
I make proper Bolognaise
I don't care when the milk goes in, as I'd be so floored that someone made me a brew
I eat my Yorkies cold with salt and vinegar

Whose regime am I best off under??

Lweji · 30/06/2015 20:30

Bra people:

None of you has mentioned bending over to place the cups in the right place, just under the natural bottom of the boob, so you are all doing it wrong. Ah!

Quiero · 30/06/2015 20:35

I fasten my bra and then put it on over my head. It's a bastard but it works. I cannot fasten a bra behind my back. Just can't.

I brush teeth as soon as I get up. You shouldn't brush after eating as it damages enamel.

My husband goes for a wee and flushes the toilet halfway through so that when he has finished the tank isn't full enough to flush drives me mad why would anyone flush halfway through it is so WRONG

Lweji · 30/06/2015 20:52

I fasten my bra and then put it on over my head. It's a bastard but it works.

You can't possibly be wearing the right size for your back, then.

Lucked · 30/06/2015 20:52

Quiero over your head? Like a sweater?? Wow.

I am a backwards upside down swiveller. I would like to point out that I swivel at my waist so no danger of wrong bra size or stretching my bras.

I actually find Nutella on anything a bit wrong, it should be eaten straight from the spoon.

Anyone who makes bolognaise in 30 mins is wrong

Lweji · 30/06/2015 20:53

Front fastening bras may be a better option: www.marisota.co.uk/shop/lingerie/bras/front-fastening/_/N-1ytvtj9/products/show.action

ActiviaYoghurt · 30/06/2015 20:55

I don't like Webber gas bbq's but in the rare heat, like today I would gladly cook on one. It's not bbq'ing though

bolleauxnouveau · 30/06/2015 20:55

front fastening bra ..you know it makes sense.

CoffeeAndOranges · 30/06/2015 20:56

Er another baked-bean hater here...never had em on toast either! Have probably forced down one teeny spoonful at brownie camp once, just to show willing. Bleurgh, never again. The texture, the bean juice, yuck. But I love to make bbq beans with bacon & tins of kidney/borlotti beans etc. Totally different beast.

MrsHathaway · 30/06/2015 20:57

Lean Over.
Arrange boobs in cups of post-intervention 34G.
Press band around self and fasten at back.
Stand up.
Rearrange/scoop as (rarely) necessary.
Put arms in straps.

Gosh we haven't even touched on pegging out rightness yet. Matching pegs, from the waist if it has one, otherwise from the top, with as little overlap as possible, inside-out unless sun bleaching is desired. Do not leave out after dusk (see other thread: it gets darked on and teeming with spiders). Rinse if rained on.

No
and no.

funchum8am · 30/06/2015 21:13

I am a proud swiveller (have discussed it somewhere on MN before!)

I have NEVER heard of people eating dry Weetabix. You're all making it up, surely?

Hadn't thought about how daft gas BBQs are but this thread has shown me the light there.

DH leaves the remote on the TV unit. So not at all remote from the telly. But VERY remote from me. And I never realise til I have latched DS on for a feed. If we ever divorce, that will be why!!!

PHANTOMnamechanger · 30/06/2015 21:25

the most wrong thing on here is mince and gravy with salad cream. That has made me feel quite queasy, and I eat most things!
