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!

Those of you who say you hate stew (in all its forms) are just weird. Seriously weird. Either that or you have been unfortunate in who cooks for you.

And the poster who talked about a piece of lamb cooked for 17 hours being rubbery - slow cooked lamb is anything but rubbery. You can practically eat it with a fork, it's one of the nicest things.

There’s no such thing as “winter food” or “summer food” IMO. Delicious food is delicious no matter what time of year it is.

And salads suck. If DH made me eat salads every night I’d divorce him.

Yeah I don't get the cold/hot foods either. I eat salads in winter and stews in summer.

My mother always moans it's too hot to eat. I don't get it, my appetite is unaffected by the time of year or the weather, I still like a curry, a roast or a stew.

I am not a wind up at all ... My husband does sleep on the sofa and my MIL eats stooo

Time will tell OP

@NoSauce

I might not be back after tonights stooo yuk! puke!

Stop been so childish, dont like it dont fucking eat it.

Just decline it. Take a pot noodle. I’m sure MIL will understand

One of the things I used to tell my children off for was the excessive “poo yuck” response to food other people likes and they didn’t. I am amazed that there are adults who do it.

I do subscribe to some degree of summer food/winter food thinking but for some reason I am currently cooking a full on beef dinner with all the trimmings. Sort of regretting it, our kitchen gets hot but am still looking forward to it, stew would also be fine by me

‘Stew’ has lost all meaning now 🤯

Yuck no. Stew is for cold wet days.

My DM cooked a casserole on the really hot day we had a couple of weeks ago. No one wanted any as it was too hot.

I feel sick after forcing the stooo down my throat puke!!

Stooo?

@vodkaredbullgirl

You sound just like a man

Yum stew. I do it with a savoury crumble topping. We had it 2 nights ago. Delicious!

Those sneering at stew would probably have no problem with curry, chilli etc.. I used to point out to my pupils in Summer that hot food, curry etc., originated in hot countries, heating the interior of your body increases air flow to the outside, ie you feel cooler. A similar thing applies to hot drinks, they cool your body more.

This thread isn’t about sneering at stew (however much I love the phrase). It’s about sneering at a mil.

It’s about sneering at a mil

Again

I make lots of stews/casseroles/curries/soups in the summer, mostly because I can cook them in my slow cooker and avoid having to turn my oven or stove on which really heats up the kitchen. I usually serve these dishes with salad.

I have my SC on today for exactly the same reason Rainbunny

It’s about sneering at a mil

For me it’s just about sneering at stew

A bit of both I reckon
