that you're stupid if you put butter into a green curry

[PosieReturningParker]

My DH is a trained chef, he trained at the Savoy.... He hasn't done it for about twenty years though.

He does most of the cooking when he's here. I am a good cook, cook from scratch and bake.

I recently bought an amazing cheat Thai curry it's honestly as good as some I've eaten in Thailand for about £2.50. You just add veg or meat or whatever, go and buy it if you haven't!!

Anyway this kit is perfect, good balance of ingredients and quick. I had some garlic butter on the side for the kids pizza crusts. Husband picked it up, please don't use it, I say. Then I go to put it on the table for the kids and it's gone.

He's put it in the Thai curry, you know those Thais and their butter heavy curries! This is not because he didn't know he shouldn't use it, it's because he's a know all about cooking and thinks he's still a bloody authority on cooking.

AIBU in thinking he's a bloody idiot???

Wtf! Yes that is ridiculous

I was pleasantly surprised by the Blue Dragon Thai curry.

[PosieReturningParker]

Bum. I'm not lying about the taste. I've been to Thailand lots of times, it really is good.

[BumWad]

Bet it tasted loads better with the garlic butter it's not like he's putting strawberries in your curry is it?

And a blue dragon curry mix? Eugh

[cranberryx]

That spoony fucker!!

I would be most angry because it meant the kids went without, AND you deliberately asked him not to. Is he one of those people that puts their hands on the plate when the waiter says it too hot?

[PosieReturningParker]

Have to say yy to the pp who said about taking over in the kitchen!! To be fair I now just make him finish whatever I'm cooking when he interferes. Now I'll have to hide the garlic butter, just in case!

[PosieReturningParker]

Yup! It's alright now I have wine

And PMT therefore susceptible to being enraged over garlic fucking butter.

[diddl]

Interfering know it all!

Did you tell him that it was for something else?

[PosieReturningParker]

Is Spam like luncheon meat? (My vegetarian for thirty years now sister used to love that!)

[Janeymoo50]

I've just made spam and pickle sandwiches for lunches tomorrow following this thread. I found it lurking innocently next to some tuna in brine in the cupboard. I bleedin love spam. The other half (1/4 😳) of the tin is on a plate in the fridge. It will be fried with an egg in a soft morning roll on Saturday with brown sauce. I ignored the best before date of Dec 15.

I love spam, did i mention that.

[PosieReturningParker]

I can't even describe how it didn't really taste any different what it tasted like.

[DaphneWhitethigh]

But what did it taste like?!?!

[PosieReturningParker]

Spoonyfucker

[exLtEveDallas]

Your husband is a Spoonyfucker. Lots are. Kill him.

[PosieReturningParker]

Of course, and collect fox eggs.

[fluffypenguinbelly]

Did you slaughter your own free range chicken?

[PosieReturningParker]

Honestly it's nicer than a take away.

I am middle class despite the kit, we even have a shit car.

[mupperoon]

I've had a spam curry in a village just outside Chiang Mai. No garlic butter in it though!

[PosieReturningParker]

Ahem. I'll have you know I bought the kit in waitrose along with mushrooms I forested myself and vegetables my nanny picked from the raised beds on the allotment where we house the homeless in sheds!

[ZiggyFartdust]

To be clear: I don't want to be authentic. My thai curry comes from the thai takeaway if its here at all, it definitely doesn't come out of my kitchen.
But you can't argue about what as is supposed to be in a proper thai curry if said curry comes from a box kit, its illogical.

And almost anything tastes better with a bit of butter in it.

[TattyCat]

God, spam.

I thought I remembered it being really, really, really nice from my childhood days. Sometime in my 20s I bought some. Oh my! Not good. Cue my childhood memory totally wrecked

[fluffypenguinbelly]

Fab x-post with the above statement^

[fluffypenguinbelly]

Um. This is Mumsnet. People will be turning their noses up so high at the thought of you buying a LAZY Thai-in-a-box that they won't have time to think about the butter. On this forum we source our herbs directly from Thailand and really how hard is it to buy the ingredients separately from specialist shops. You deserve all the interfering husband you get.
