To think this is fucking rude behaviour and to be bloody furious?

We bought a slow cooker, i'm still learning to use it, and like everything new, you sometimes overdo things and learn next time to adjust the cooking time or tweak the ingredients.

Whenever DH tries something new that doesn't work, or i don't like, i will tell him once, eat what i can and then talk about it afterwards.

I just had a go at some orange chicken, and i admit it was overdone, but it was still edible, i ate it with no problem.

He just sat down with it, asked 5 times if something was burning, spat out the first mouthful, then has sat picking over it and with every single forkful complained it burned, pointe out where its burned, pulled faces, made shitty little comments.

I feel like telling him to go fuck himself. i'm absolutely fucking fuming with him.

He has a right not to enjoy something but the way he showed you his disapproval was rude. Make a point of making yourself tea and nothing for him, he will soon realise his actions.
Although to be fair he might not realise how rude and hurtful he came across as ive done this and only afterwards realised I must of looked an ungrateful cow
[ long story short, I hate kidney. FIL gave me a homemade pie for tea and told me it was mince & onion. I take a mouthful and bite into a HUGE chunk of kidney, instantly spit out and say " Jesus Christ that's vile " Blush ]

You can be honest about disliking something without acting like a petulant child.

All he had to do was say 'sorry, I know you put time and effort into this, but I don't like it' and then get himself some other food.

Bitching about it and not doing anything to solve the problem is just pathetic.

I suggest you try a similar tactic the next time you have sex.

"Ew, DH why did you do that?"
"You did that wrong"
"Poo! It smells bad!"
"Oh no! You did it wrong again!"
"I'm not putting that in my mouth!"
Make bored/disgusted faces where appropriate. Gag a bit too, for emphasis.

Make sure you reference his poor performance at some point the next day.
