To want to LTB because DH insists on putting chilli on everything.

Raw chilli.

So if I make spaghetti Bolognese, he'll insist on chopping up a raw chilli to sprinkle on top.

If I make chilli, he'll chop up an extra one.

Tonight he's complaining that there is no chilli to chop up with his meatballs and pasta.

It really gets on my tits. It feels like he's complaining about my food by default. It's ungrateful.

He'll also walk over and put extra salt in it.

He has a go at DC if they don't like what's for dinner - but this is the exact same behaviour.

Permission to rub chilli and salt in his face.

We always have dried chilli flakes to add to meals, the kids still like bland food so curries and chillis need pepping up for adults. Put a jar on the table with the salt and pepper and let him get on with it.

slipperywhensparticus · 19/06/2019 19:13

Tell him to chilli his own food and stop being a spoony fucker

As a side note some places sell a chilli and salt grinder he can use on HIS OWN food

Seasoning is preference. Yabu.

Yeah it is...on your own food!!!!

I wouldn’t want chilli on my food

AxolotlRose · 19/06/2019 19:16

YANBU, my husband does this and it drives me spare. I spend ages making something nice for tea and he covers it in hot sauce. He seems to manage without if we go out for a meal or eat at someone else's house. He also puts salt on without tasting it first. My cooking isn't bland!

Hannah4banana · 19/06/2019 19:19

I smother everything in chilli's and chilli sauce as I love everything spicy but on my own plate. Sorry Confused

BellMcEnd · 19/06/2019 19:21

Ermmmmm. I do this. I even take a jar of chilli flakes in my bag when we go away. DH moans like mad about it. I loooooove chillis but I’m massively pissed off that despite them apparently increasing your metabolic rate I’m still as fat as fuck Hmm

Frouby · 19/06/2019 19:24

Think yourself lucky.

Dh chucks smoked paprika around like fucking confetti in a church. Dd likes a nandos salt thing. Ds wants ketchup on everything.

I am a good cook. I season well. I use appropriate herbs and spices. They are just fuckers.

Gth1234 · 19/06/2019 19:24

Buy him a large bottle of Tabasco. My 350ml bottle was about £6 from Costco. Far better than the small bottles.

You can get hotter sauces than tabasco, but I like the flavour to be honest.

AwdBovril · 19/06/2019 19:28

My father used to add hot chilli sauce to just about any savoury food. I'm pretty sure my mother hated it, too.

Xmr1986 · 19/06/2019 19:33

OP does not say he puts it on hers. @Soubriquet

TheGrapefulDread · 19/06/2019 19:37

This is the gastronomic equivalent of those tossers who can’t be arsed to write up a report but then decide they need to improve on someone else’s efforts with corrections. Bring back public stocks and rotten fruit and veg - he is a cheeky bollix !

22Giraffes · 19/06/2019 19:38

I add extra salt to everything Blush I know it's terrible for me but I dislike food without it. I don't understand why people take offence though, you may be a wonderful cook and season food how you wish it to be seasoned but that doesn't mean others have to like it that way.

Kahlua4me · 19/06/2019 19:38

My dh adds chilli to all his meals too. Normally he puts it in his meal before he has even tasted it- drives me mad!

minou123 · 19/06/2019 19:40

No, YANBU.

What you have there is a chillifucker

Before anyone starts to think there is a new craze of men running around humping chillis, let me explain.

This is a well known phenomena of 'fuckers' in the kitchen. These include 'spoonyfuckers', 'washerupperfucker', 'knobturnerdownfucker' etc

Give him a bottle of this stuff - that’ll learn him.

CripsSandwiches · 19/06/2019 19:42

DH has a selection pack of spicy sauces like this he uses to spice up meals (dd doesn't like hot food). That's fine. I'd be annoyed if he covered my food in chilli or over salted it though.

MogMogMog · 19/06/2019 19:43

Like fucking Jamie Oliver! Chilli and olive oil on everything! Twat!

MashedSpud · 19/06/2019 19:44

My biggest piss off is when someone adds salt before tasting the meal. It makes me want to flip it onto their lap.

Duchessgummybuns · 19/06/2019 19:45

My exH used to do this with bacon. Put bacon on a dish I made then act like it had massively improved it and oh wasn’t he clever for doing so.

I killed him.

VivienneHolt · 19/06/2019 19:47

If he is adding it to his own food only YABU, if he’s adding it to yours too then YANBU.
