Stew In The Middle Of Summer??

[Mileysmiley]

My mil has asked us over for dinner tonight for a dish of stew!! Yuk! I hate stew!

The weather is more like autumn than summer at the moment, so sounds ok to me.

This! It's 18 degrees here today, hardly bikini weather. Bring on the stew!

I am cooking sausage & mash tonight with veg, yorkshire pudding and gravy. I am looking forward to eating it but not the cooking as it is warm here today. I agree they should be saved till autumn but it has been requested by youngest ds who is a fussy eater so I have given in

I had beef casserole with new potatoes yesterday-delicious!

We eat stew, curry, and fish and chips etc, in summer......, and salad, and sarnies in winter.

Doesn't matter. It's all just food!

TBH, I'd just be glad that someone else was cooking my tea for me. I do like stew, though, but I take your point about it being summer.

I'm actually feeling cold today so I'd be happy with stew.

I made soup for lunch, felt a chill in the air.

I love stew and have it on for tonight's dinner. DH got very excited when he saw the stew, he loves it even more than I do! And it's gorgeous any time off the year

If you hate stew you hate stew, it's got nothing to do with the weather!

I regularly eat hot food in the summer, unless it's sweltering when I will probably have a salad.

I'd love someone to bring me over some stew. Tbh I'd just be grateful I didn't have to cook

You said yourself you hate stew! Cock all to do with the weather you numpty

Yabu.

I live in Yorkshire. It was 15 degrees and windy when I are my dinner last night.
I've got chicken casserole simmering in my slow cooker for tonight.

We're having stew and dumplings tomorrow.

It's not much different from curry or chilli in that it's some type of meat cooked with some kinds of veg and then seasoned. I love stew. When I was a kid we used to have stew on top of pancakes.

Are you being serious? It it is far too hot to eat stew

Do you only eat salad in summer then? Nothing at all hot??

What a curry if it's not stew? One of my favourite dishes to cook is octopus stew, it's a Portuguese dish and it's hotter there than here. Be grateful someone else is cooking

Exactly this! ^

Daft.

Any food made by a mil is disgusting. Mumsnet Law.

In other news, Google Nigella Lawson’s Praised Chicken for a perfect summer stew.

I had a very HOT chilli last night. Absolutely blew our heads off. Everyone loved it.

I like a nice stew, but not on hot days. I'd eat it on a cool summer day though.

I love stew, anytime of the year, but dumplings can fuck right off, they're gross.

Food is food at the end of the day lol

Nothing wrong with a bit of stew all year round.

I love stew and don’t care really what I eat in what weather. Surely it’s the cooking that’s the pain in the arse because you get hot?

It’s 26 degrees where I am btw. It’s not the same all over the country.

Unless you eat stone cold food every night in the summer, you know you're being unreasonable. You just don't like stew. Or your MIL lol.

Just a hunch but going off the OPs other posts/threads I think she’s something of a wind up
