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 HmmGrin

Shock STEAMED CHICKEN!!! The dirty evil no fat roasting bastards.

BeeFarseer · 27/06/2017 19:00

A roast dinner by its very NAME needs to have something that's been roasted.

YANBU.

Consider ending the friendship, unless she's your blood type or willing to donate an organ. Although... would you really want to receive an organ from a person who thinks steamed chicken is a roast? Hmm.

Luckily I know her well enough to go

"Mate, why the fuck is there rice on my plate?!"

I'm upset just reading about it.

She also puts grated cheddar on a curry

Kill her now.

Slowly over a spit.

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 27/06/2017 19:01

The last time I produced a meal as bonkers and hideous as that, I was trying to use up everything after my fridge broke down.
What's her excuse?

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 27/06/2017 19:01

I started a thread about the cheddar curry a year or so ago and got my arse handed to me for judging someone's food choices

Where are those fuckers now with Roast Rice Saga?!

She said "what?! Oh shush, as long as there's a carb of some sort"

I'd never have the balls to say it but this is the only response to a "roast" with steamed chicken and NO POTATOES tbh. What was her reply? The nonsense about meat plus a carb equals a roast?

Give it an hour an the thread will be full of people telling you that you're nasty and ungrateful.

AlternativeTentacle · 27/06/2017 19:04

It aint a roast if there are not roast spuds - now come on. Surely you must be a troll. Reported.

:)

NoSquirrels · 27/06/2017 19:05

Good lord. That's upsetting I'm so many levels. I opened this thread expecting you to be upset about some fancy-schmancy herbs & spices or a roast chicken without roast potatoes but with e.g. mash or roasted veg instead, which to my mind would still qualify.

But there's nothing roasted on that meal!

And Cheddar on a curry?? What fresh hell is this?

MiladyThesaurus · 27/06/2017 19:06

If meat plus carb equals a roast then spaghetti bolognaise counts as one surely. As would pate on toast.

MiladyThesaurus · 27/06/2017 19:07

Or a ham sandwich. Serve her that next time and say it's your famous roast.

AuroraBora · 27/06/2017 19:07

Fuck me! Shock I'm a veggie and think that's an abomination!!!

LucyFuckingPevensie · 27/06/2017 19:09

Quelle du feck!!!!

MiladyThesaurus · 27/06/2017 19:10

Make sure you boil the ham for the sandwich. Can't have anything that's been in the oven in your 'roast' dinner of carb + meat.

LucyFuckingPevensie · 27/06/2017 19:10

I do a cheaters roasts, when we have mash with roasted meat. Anything other than that is a gravy fucking dinner.

gunsandbanjos · 27/06/2017 19:10

That's not a roast! Sounds rank.
If I'm doing a roast, I roast the meat (usually beef), I also roast the potatoes and include homemade Yorkshire pudding and various veg.

Bambamrubblesmum · 27/06/2017 19:11

Just wrong.

For the love of God get your friend some help before she does anymore damage.

You need to stage an intervention.

LucyFuckingPevensie · 27/06/2017 19:11

I ordered a curry with paneer at my local curry house and ended up with a lamb curry with cheddar on top.

plominoagain · 27/06/2017 19:11

That's not famous , that's notorious .

There would be a riot in this house if I even attempted to dish that up and sell it as a roast !
