Husband lived alone for 15 years. He is successful in his job and is highly skilled, so he's by no means unintelligent.
I am a trained chef. I don't work in the industry anymore but obviously that's my background.
Sometimes, I get fed up of being chief meal planner, shopper and cook, on top of working 4 shifts a week in my day job.
We have a reoccurring argument because whenever he cooks, I can guarantee it will either be undercooked/overcooked or cold by the time he's dicked about trying to plate up (aka splat it on a plate).
He says I'm being an ungrateful cow when he serves up undercooked food to the family. For example, this morning as I'm not feeling great he said he would cook some hash browns, beans and toast.
He literally follows the packet instructions to the dot. I can clearly see the hash browns are raw, he serves them up and he's taken so long doing the toast that the beans are cold.
I tell him we can't eat raw potatoes and they need longer. He hits the roof saying I'm ungrateful and they're edible.
Am I being an ungrateful snob?
His line is always that he needs more practice to cook properly, yet he won't accept when he's wrong so he's never going to learn.
When he lived alone he would eat some very strange combinations and I've tried to explain to him that while he might enjoy something like pork chops and pasta, it's not something I would serve to the family.
Sorry I think I'm just ranting now!
