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

How the feck do you make cheesy spinach?

Mayo, cheese and gravy... sounds like the sorta shit my dh would do, does she need a new man? Grin

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 27/06/2017 19:44

That sounds beyond rank.

The only place cheese has on a roast dinner is in a cauliflower cheese.

Thinking about it...maybe it was a cry for help. Perhaps she was sitting there thinking 'FFS hasn't anyone noticed I've lost my marbles'.

But why mayonnaise?

With gravy?

I don't understand...

StealthPolarBear · 27/06/2017 19:48

Could have been worse, could have been Christmas day :o
Did people actually eat this?

Borangeistheorange · 27/06/2017 19:49

Mayo is the final straw. It's really is an utter disaster.

bubblesbubbles · 27/06/2017 19:49

LTWWPMAGT (leave the weirdo who puts Mayo and gravy together)

The friendship is dead op, friends don't put mayo on other friends gravy!

loaferloveforyou · 27/06/2017 19:49

Have you done something to piss her off?

Puffpaw · 27/06/2017 19:50

Cheese rice gravy mayo mmmmmmmm

Persemillion · 27/06/2017 19:51

Steamed chicken, yorkshires, rice, mayo... Oh the horror Confused

DoggoslothladyA · 27/06/2017 19:51

I'd be LIVID Grinin no way is that a roast ! It's witchcraft

Lofari · 27/06/2017 19:52

This is just all kinds of wrong. Roast would be my death row last meal too and if some fucker served that up I'd throw it at them!

loaferloveforyou · 27/06/2017 19:52

Did you eat it? What did she say when you asked about the fucking rice?

StealthPolarBear · 27/06/2017 19:53

Did everyone else make oooh yum noises

It makes me think of the episode of Friends where Rachel attempts to cook trifle, two pages of the cookbook get stuck together and she ends up making a trifle-shepherds-pie hybrid. Custard, jam, sponge, minced beef, peas, cream ... makes about as much sense as your friend's 'roast'

You can be jailed for fraud, I believe.

"Today 19:11 PhyllisNights

Me and my friends have had a few roast dinner get togethers, but we hired someone in to do it. Would have been too weird for one of us to do it on mass for everyone. "

You hired a chef to do it???

Why weird??

Tazerface · 27/06/2017 19:56

I've got it!

Does she actually hate you OP? The only other explanation is she's taken leave of her senses.

PyongyangKipperbang · 27/06/2017 19:56

DH is Jamaican and always has rice and peas with Xmas dinner, its just what his mum did. He has potatoes and everything else, just with the rice on the side.

Mildpanic · 27/06/2017 19:56

Bleuuurrrggghhhh, sorry!

Tinseleverywhere · 27/06/2017 19:57

I wonder what she puts on her famous English breakfast? Corned beef, frankfurters, egg, supernoodles covered in cheese and a dollop of mint sauce.

Hoppinggreen · 27/06/2017 19:59

DH family is Austrian and they always have rice with a roast dinner
They have everything else too though so I don't mind too much ( but I don't have the rice, it's just weird)

fleshmarketclose · 27/06/2017 19:59

Pretty sure the "roast" must be notorious rather than famous Hmm I love roasts and would possibly have cried if I'd been served that horror. You must teach her how to do it properly Ihope or you're doomed to be served the same shite again.
