Your cooking is "edible"

This evening I made Enchiladas for tea.

I was cooking in between tending to the baby and two pre schoolers so I forgot to add the seasoning sachet to the sauce. It was no big deal, you just sprinkle the seasoning on afterwards and it taste exactly how it was supposed to.

I sat down with OH to eat and asked him how his food was, his reply was a disappointed "Errrrrr.. it's edible" making it clear he was unimpressed.

There was nothing wrong with the food it was perfectly nice and taste the same as every other time we've had it, it just so happens that he knew the seasoning was added later on and not in with the sauce and IMO wanted to make a big deal of a single mistake.

Even if somebodies cooking is awful I would always say "it's nice, thanks" and not be so rude.

I have a cracking headache so may be feeling more grouchy than I usually would.

AIBU to think he was being rude?

Sick of rude, thoughtless men
Next time he asks you for something reassuring about what he’s done, just reply ‘I guess it’s acceptable’
See how he likes it, the twat

😂

What was his response?

He basically agreed, to be honest. 😂

Funnily enough the kids, who can be quite fussy, thought it was delicious!

He was rude yes, but why did you ask him a question if you didn’t actually want the answer?!

people fishing for compliments then being disappointed that someone hasn’t come through is always a thing

This. I think yabu to want him to not tell the truth.

You asked what he thought about dinner

He answered honestly.

No adding seasoning later is not the same.

I'm really not sure what hes done wrong. I'd consider edible a compliment if the cooking had gone wrong.

When I cook I expect appreciation regardless of the taste. That's why everyone in my house thanks the cook as they sit down to eat before they've tasted anything. Asking how it tastes when the cooking has been judged is just asking for trouble.
