To not eat this monstrosity

Leftover chicken, some leftover carrot and broccoli, day old mash potato, cabbage, rice, sausages all mixed together into a stodgy lump with cheese on top

I'm not a fussy eater at all but the combination of the leftover foods is making me want to vomit it looks like dog food

Oh my god what a way to ruin loads of lovely food!

Using leftovers intelligently is such an important skill.

He should have fried it. Bubble and squeak is mint.

AfterSchoolWorry · 24/02/2020 19:53

I'd eat that in a heartbeat. But I literally have no standards.

OdeToDiazepam · 24/02/2020 19:54

The sausages and the rice weren't leftovers, but everything got boiled to grey matter in one big pan

Can we see a pic OP? I'll use it to threaten my kids if they don't stop moaning about what's for dinner every night, I will feed them what you are having 😂

ATowelAndAPotato · 24/02/2020 19:55

That is making me feel ill just reading it. Feign a headache and just have some toast and a lie down to recover?!

How do you boil already mashed potatoes?

LTB

Absolutepowercorrupts · 24/02/2020 19:55

Boiled sausages!!
You definitely have to LTB
That's terrible.

Ninkanink · 24/02/2020 19:56

Carrot and broccoli, cabbage and mash - perfect together. Sausages would be great too. Cheese on top if desired. 👍

Rice, mushrooms and chicken fried with onion. Dressed with gently warmed olive oil, lemon, garlic and chilli flakes. 👍

OdeToDiazepam · 24/02/2020 19:56

I don't know but he put it in there! So it's kind of disintegrated with the rice and cabbage

Ninkanink · 24/02/2020 19:57

I think he (I think it’s a he? Only skimmed thread) ought to do all the cooking until he gets much, much better at it.

TheCatsWhisker · 24/02/2020 19:57

I'm a big fan of foods mixed together usually, but that sounds and looks evil!

Atthebottomofthegarden · 24/02/2020 19:58

Um. Add ketchup?

Absolutepowercorrupts · 24/02/2020 19:58

Vom vom vom vomit🤮🤮
I'd be heaving, my dogs would refuse to eat that heap of crap. What a waste. He's no foodie, and that is NOT gourmet food.

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 24/02/2020 19:58

Oh wow 😂surely you are going to have some more. You've hardly touched it!

OdeToDiazepam · 24/02/2020 19:59

I'm ordering dominos for myself I'm starving

Notimeforaname · 24/02/2020 19:59

Oh god, you can't eat that. Don't do it. Confused

OdeToDiazepam · 24/02/2020 19:59

He's very offended by my lack of grace

OP posts:
Ninkanink · 24/02/2020 19:59

Yes, add ketchup. And umm, salad cream (why not!)? Plus maybe some gravy too...

Is he eating it?

Notimeforaname · 24/02/2020 19:59

Good call op! Enjoy!

OdeToDiazepam · 24/02/2020 19:59

He's eaten all of it yes

OP posts:
HollysBush · 24/02/2020 20:00

Bless. Well if he’s normally a good cook maybe just pretend you’re not feeling well and have an early night?! Put it in the fridge and you can (throw it away) have it tomorrow.

AriadnesFilament · 24/02/2020 20:00

I was sort of onboard until you said it had been boiled all together.

Um.

No.

That concoction needed FRYING in a pan like bubble and squeak, and then walloping with a nice bucket of gravy.

Boiling all together into something that looks like it’s been carved off a fat berg out of a sewer? No.
