Hiding from the smell. Bloody dh

[TheCatAteMyHomework]

So house guest decides to cook. Shows dh the recipe and is checking off ingredient list together. Recipe has ingredient on that dh knows I absolutely hate in food.
He obviously knows this as when I smell it and ask if it's got it in dh laughs and pretends it hasn't and house guest looks sheepish and says they were just following instructions.

Not only do I hate the taste of this stuff but it smells strong so now I am sitting in my room unable to go find something else.

Dh thinks that I'm rude no doubt.
Aibu to refuse it and sulk in my room? It's late here. I'm annoyed that he's let someone cook food I detest and I'll have to go find more food.

"don't freak out passing takeaways no. I was just annoyed that I had no dinner because selfish dh thought it would be hilarious to let someone cook clove curry"

He's an arsehole.

All curries are "clove curries"

The poster who told the OP "it would have been lovely for you to sit down to a deal cooked by someone else for a change" clearly missed that the OP didn't cook the night before either .....her DH did.

Frankly all this talk "getting back at him" and dishing up food he hates in retaliation smacks of a marriage on its last legs where petty victories are more important than anything else. Not a nice enviro ment to be raising children in.

I don't think cleaning up other people's piss and mess other people make is fair. I'm a stay at home parent yes but not a maid. I go out with my child anyway. I didn't realise giving up work to do childcare would also include scrubbing pissy toilet seats, cleaning other people's kitchen experiments away.
I do all the general housework on top if the shit I get to clean up after people have fun and by way of thanking me my dh makes me food I can't stand. I'm sooooo lucky.

My dh husband didn't cook the night before you pillock. I cooked the previous night and spent time making a meal. Guest cooked clove curry.
Is it early where you are? Wake up.

He is an arsehole.

What is a clove curry?

You sound delightful OP. And it's cloves not clove.

But it's not clove curry is it? I doubt there were more than one or two in it. It was probably chicken or beef or vegetable curry.

I don't get all this... if the guest (who was probably really embarrassed that you were sat in your bedroom all night) cleared up the meal that had the clove in, what is the problem?

If your DH is doing this to deliberately antagonise you, you have a bigger problem than a clove in a curry.

It was after 8pm so the clove curry not only took ages to cook but also by the time I knew what was in it I couldn't really start making a new meal at 9pm for me and dc.

Poor dh though eh? Living with me, the delightful sulking wife in her strict clove controlled environment.

We have cloves in the cupboard for people to make food with. But it would be for them only. Not a family meal.

Immature OP. Your poor hubby!

delightful - I don't think so.

You would say that Horehound. You're practically a clove.

I was being sarcastic Hore. This is the most ridiculous thread ever.

Hardly most ridiculous thread ever
What about that woman who stuck a Clove of garlic up her arse when she had worms. That was pretty good.

It's been clear all along that it hasn't been about the cloves. It's about

WOMAN KNOW YOUR FUCKING PLACE

Good luck.

I still want the recipe for clove curry. Because I am beginning to think that, just possibly, the piss is being taken............

Just how many cloves are we talking about here?

Actually, if one is using clove as an adjective, as in "clove curry", it is clove, not cloves.
One doesn't say "apples crumble", one says "apple crumble" because apple is the adjective in that phrase.

But "clove curry" (still waiting for the recipe) is made of cloves. And it is cloves that one might have an extreme reaction to.

Am getting a bit bored with these threads. OP if all you've said is true, you have DH issues to deal with, and why have things in your cupboard that you hate in case random guests want to cook. Doesn't make sense.

If I hated a spice that much and knew that someone else might use it to cook with I would just throw it out.

None of it makes sense.

Anyone that reactive to cloves would be unable to walk past an Indian Restarurant without "gagging" and "dry heaving" and all these bizarre physical reactions mumsnetters seem to have to things they dislike.

YANBU. He's a dick.

Ignore the vipers. My DH knows that the smell of cod roe makes me puke. Literally. He loves cod roe but cooks it when I'm out and airs the place thoroughly before I return.

It's the polite thing to do.

Hurray! I made It my goal in life and I succeeded. I am a clove!! Woohoo

Oh well OP. it's not about the Clove(s) so are you leaving him or not?

Too late her OH has left her for her sister and a future of properly seasoned curries and no tantrums

It is your house and if people know you really don't like an ingredient, then its daft to cook with it.

(Passive aggressive suggestion coming up... cook with something DH does not like?)
