AIBU?

To think this is an abomination of a roast dinner!

Friend asked if I wanted to stay for her "famous roast dinner" as she'd cooked plenty.

Now I fucking love a roast dinner so was thrilled...it was Steamed chicken, peas, cheesy spinach, cauli, Yorkshire, stuffing and rice all covered in gravy and cheese with a big dollop of mayo.

Rice...in a roast...with gravy on

I love her dearly but AIBU to think she's fucking insane

Her excuse was "as long as it had a carb it's a roast"

You lost me at steamed chicken.... what fresh hell is this.

SharesinClarks · 27/06/2017 18:57

That is not a roast dinner! 🤢

Asmoto · 27/06/2017 18:57

I might be missing something, but if the chicken was steamed, surely that's not a 'roast', rice or no rice?

HarrietKettleWasHere · 27/06/2017 18:57

I couldn't get past the steamed chicken.

Does she know she hasn't roasted anything?!! So she's a fraud and a liar to go round calling that a roast

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 27/06/2017 18:57

Is that "famous" as in "famous serial killer" or "famous natural disaster"?

PinkHeart5911 · 27/06/2017 18:57

What hell is this

Do her taste buds not work?

Dfg15 · 27/06/2017 18:57

Sounds disgusting! Poor u

monkeywithacowface · 27/06/2017 18:57

Well my mum used to put onion rings on roast dinners which we used to think was was bloody brilliant.

MiladyThesaurus · 27/06/2017 18:57

Cheese, rice, gravy and mayo. What was she thinking?

MyFavouriteName · 27/06/2017 18:57

Where's the roast?

SweetChickadee · 27/06/2017 18:57

no, no and thrice no

PurpleMinionMummy · 27/06/2017 18:57

How can it possibly be a roast with no roast potatoes

Thisarmingman · 27/06/2017 18:57

Oh that's bad.

Scribblegirl · 27/06/2017 18:57

That's like a bastardised version of Jamaican, English and Welsh traditions right there.

I call LTB

UserThenLotsOfNumbers · 27/06/2017 18:58

Infamous more like.
The only thing that will put this right is restorative Toby Carvery therapy.

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 27/06/2017 18:58

Well exactly! You can't call it a roast if you steam chicken!

Steamed!!
Rice!!

She clearly mistyped infamous and autocorrect removed the in.

Scribblegirl · 27/06/2017 18:59

Maybe someone called it her 'infamous "roast" dinner' and she misunderstood ?

Scribblegirl · 27/06/2017 18:59

Ha xpost milady!

OnlyRose · 27/06/2017 18:59

Yeah, I bet it's only "famous" for not actually being a roast.
And mayo with gravy? WTF?

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 27/06/2017 18:59

mayo, steamed chicken, rice

all very wrong

be a good friend and tell her

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 27/06/2017 18:59

Apparently everyone thinks her roast is "the dogs bollocks"

I think they probably mean it in a different way now tbh....

She also puts grated cheddar on a curry
