to think what DP did was disgusting?

Been with DP a year, happily cohabiting. Cooked him his favourite tonight, steak - not the first time I've cooked it for him.

Imagine my dismay and disgust when he mixed tomato ketchup and mayo and dipped in his perfectly cooked medium rare steak.

I must have look appropriately horrified as he said 'what?! It's been a year now so I feel I can do this in front of you'.

Can I LTB?

Where do you stand on BBQ sauce with steak?

ShouldHaveListenedInBiology · 12/07/2016 20:01

I put vinegar on mine. It's amazing.

Paulat2112 · 12/07/2016 20:05

Just wait until he asks you to help him with his pile cream!! That was when things really changed for us Grin

peppatax · 12/07/2016 20:06

Doggity I could live with that on a lower grade steak I think

Dinner the other night, DP said he was just going to stick his fish under the grill for a few minutes. Which he did. Then smothered in ketchup and mayonnaise.

That'll learn me not to buy sashimi from a very expensive Japanese fishmongers ShockGrin

I made a chicken stir fry with hoisin and ginger and he put 4 processed cheese slices on the top of it. Will also have ketchup with pretty much everything.

CatNip2 · 12/07/2016 20:21

You would hate me also, I have about 15 sauce bottles on the go. Gammon only with salad cream, steak with Caesar dressing, fish and chips with curry sauce and ketchup, liver with HP, baked beans with HP, chicken with Nandos or sweet chilli dipping sauce, any roast dinner with mint sauce includes beef, pork or chicken, I don't like lamb!

I am pretty gross but I love a good bottled sauce or three.

Allalonenow · 12/07/2016 20:24

Well it would have been worse if it had been tomato ketchup on its own, but he clearly doesn't respect you, this is the start of the slippery slope, it will be jam on Yorkshire pudding next.

hairycatmum · 12/07/2016 20:25

My ex put salt on everything I cooked without even tasting it first-it was an automatic reaction to food. Grab salt pot, smother food in salt. Tomato ketchup crime has nothing on salt crimes :)

Having said that, if he's going to smother his steak in special sauce from now on, I wouldn't bother splashing out on the steak-bit of brisket instead of filet mignon!

amusedbush · 12/07/2016 20:29

I eat my steak with dijon mustard, it's so good!

OnesieTheQueensSelfie · 12/07/2016 20:30

Oooh now all, jam on yorkies...now that IS lufferly Grin

gillybeanz · 12/07/2016 20:35

That's nothing like a marie rose sauce, it's just mayo and tomato sauce.
Marie Rose has lemon juice, tabasco, and worcester sauce and other secret ingredients.
It's served with fish dishes.
ewww to eating it with steak.
You'll have to ltb, I'm afraid Grin

OSETmum · 12/07/2016 20:39

HIBU, it should be mustard that he mixes with his ketchup!

Farmmummy · 12/07/2016 20:42

TheresaMarie I'm coming to live with you! (My DH is breathing huge sigh of relief he won't have to live with my weird concoctions anymore)

EdmundCleverClogs · 12/07/2016 20:43

MoodyOne, first Christmas my partner and I spent together, he refused veg, gravy and mashed potatoes. Only had the meat, roasties and yorkies. For the sake of our relationship, I haven't made him a Sunday-type dinner since.

EdmundCleverClogs · 12/07/2016 20:44

Sorry, meant roads he put ketchup all over said Christmas dinner (my first attempt and took me hours!!)

EdmundCleverClogs · 12/07/2016 20:44

Meant to add, not roads!! Having a day of it with typing!

Flowerfae · 12/07/2016 20:48

DS (7) does that with tomato ketchup and mayo.. its disgusting and self-taught because there's no way I taught him how to do it. He dips chips in it though not steak, he likes peppercorn with steak.

Mind you he was dipping party ring biscuits in milk before :\

ExitPursuedByABear · 12/07/2016 20:50

Nooooo

You need horseradish in Marie Rose sauce.

peachpudding · 12/07/2016 20:51

OH god, DP deserves a better half. You should leave him in shame because you are so shallow, they deserve better.

TheNotoriousPMT · 12/07/2016 20:57

YANBU OP.

When someone tells you who they are, listen.

Ericaequites · 12/07/2016 21:15

I knew a man who liked grape jelly on steak, reasoning it was no different than mint jelly for lamb.

Mommawoo · 12/07/2016 21:47

Thats nothing, I made a delicious sweet chilli chicken last week and dp covered it in cheese. CHEESE!

He also eats feta and ketchup sandwiches, but he is foreign and grew up with just his traditional foods so I forgive him Grin

MermaidTears · 13/07/2016 23:41

Marie rose sauce. My DD makes it to dip her chips in, the little heathen!
