To think this is far too much food?

[LemonSherbetFancies]

Made a saucepan of bolognese mince and DP gave it to my 2 grandkids aged 8 and 9. Alongside pasta. They ate the lot. Aibu to think this is far too much food for 2 kids and also annoyed as although I hadn't said, it was also meant to be for us. He knew I was late him from work so feel a bit pissed off that I know have to cook something else.

@Innovationstandard

I can get at least 12 portions out of that maybe more.

12???? wtaf?? Who are you, The Borrowers!!

LOL

Pod is short even by Borrower standards, and Homily is very scrawny.

If your dc were hungry and ate it all I don't see the problem surely they would of just left what they didn't want to eat?

In the interests of this thread I did some counting when I batch cooked some (what I call) Bolognese
1.6kg mince
1.2kg soffrito
1.2kg tomatoes

= 26 portions.

For the sake of completeness, I also add fennel seeds, chicken powder and a bit of sugar to my sauce.

F for later. Everyone keeps mentioning this thread! LOL

I came over from the “pretentious” thread and I have not been disappointed. I don’t mean that in a horrible way, this thread is a gem and you’re all brilliant. “Where are the LTB brigade. Slackers” 😂😂

I think I have enjoyed this thread as much as the previous various versions of "is it really possible to eat five portions of fruit and veg a day?"

Such fun!

Courgettes in Bolognese!!! An utter disgrace.

You might as well just eat in regurgitate it and serve that up.

(Thought this thread was missing some melodrama.)

Oh no I must have missed that one, bet it was a belter.

Absolutely courgettes, think it's a thing from Annabel Karmel days of trying to get as much veg in them as poss. Think it's called 5 a day pasta sauce or summat. Blend the heck out of it and noone is any the wiser!

Courgettes are nice addition to potato latkes

@FortunesFavour So did I 😃. It's been very entertaining.

What's the pretentious thread?

Are there courgettis there too? More open and visible and pretentiously strutting their stuff?

No courgettes as yet on that thread but it's only a matter of time.

Lots of olives though.

Ooh, a food thread! Cue the MN women who say that merely glimpsing a grape leaves them full for weeks

@NowEvenBetter Even that's too much for me. I have to wear dark sunglasses when I glimpse my grape. Otherwise, I'd be full for months, not weeks!

Love this thread. Most entertaining

Lavender - there’s a thread in AIBU at the moment about the most pretentious things ever seen, tis funny.

A couple of posters under that topic might have possibly suggested that we take a gander at this thread and ponder the fraught topic of bolognese - I do beg your pardon - I mean ragu (sans courgettes).

No offence meant - like I said, I think this thread is an absolute cracker

Pretentious thread

Yes, 12 portions of bolognese from 500g meat plus the other veg to make sauce, Brits usually put far too much sauce on pasta, makes it inedible as far as I'm concerned.
