DH and his fucking chilli

307 replies

DH smothers everything in chilli, even though he can’t handle spicy food himself. Everytime he makes chicken it’s smothered in chilli and ends up where neither of us can eat it. He does it every fucking time!!!

Tonight he decided to randomly make some roast potatoes as a snack 🫤 to said I didn’t want any and he got all l offended so I said if you make cheesy potatoes I’ll eat them … so that’s what he did. He’s spent over an hour and a half making these fucking things … they smelt nice, all covered in melted cheese - lovely! Except when I bit into one my mouth was suddenly on fire. Yep, he’s smothered then in chilli. We now have a full bowl of cheesy potatoes sat there that neither of us can eat. I ask why he does this and he doesn’t answer me! I think it’s so weird. It would be different if he loved spicy food but he can’t tolerate it any better than I can!

what a waste

He sounds spectacularly thick.

AnathemaPulsifer · 04/11/2023 20:49

Weaponised incompetence? Does he prefer it when you cook?

DominiqueBernard · 04/11/2023 20:49

Order a delivery of non spicy, cheesy potatoes, (if possible.)

Eileen101 · 04/11/2023 20:51

Is he trying to do it so badly that you don't ask him to cook again? 🤔

Babysharkdoodoodood · 04/11/2023 20:51

Throw the chili sauce in the bin

Muchonachomiamigo · 04/11/2023 20:51

The food waste would drive me batty.

I wouldn't be eating anything he made. He sounds thick and quite odd. Why make something neither of you will eat?

SeaToSki · 04/11/2023 20:52

Throw away the chilli powder so there isnt any for him to use

Harrriet · 04/11/2023 20:52

Remove all chilli items from the cupboards, if he buys more remove them. Oh and deny all knowledge of their whereabouts.

Letsgocamping67 · 04/11/2023 20:53

Bin the chilli and if he buys more bin it instantly. Keep binning it till he gets the message. He sounds thick as.

riffraffroff · 04/11/2023 20:53

Is he a good cook? Like does he know the basics like tasting as you go. Could be as simple as that.

Humpfree · 04/11/2023 20:53

I never asked him to cook, he liked doing it - I just don’t understand why he ruins them everytime! I actually don’t like him to cook because of the chilli thing so everytime he cooks it’s because he’s insisted on cooking.

it’s now chilli sauce, it’s proper chilli’s (scotch bonnet I believe)

Sorry auto correct going nuts. It’s NOT chilli sauce or powder, it’s fresh chilli

Why on Earth is he doing it, seems to be the question!

H34th · 04/11/2023 20:56

He seems to like the idea of being a spicy food eating person.

To be fair, at some point we all didn't eat spicy (when kids, etc) and then gradually some of us now do and even love it. So it can lead to something in time, you know...

I'm sure you're not finding it funny though, having lovely smelling and looking, however awful tasting snack...

TicTacNicNak · 04/11/2023 20:56

Rub the chillis on the inside of his underpants. When he complains you can say you're following his lead and smothering everything in chilli.

Sparkletastic · 04/11/2023 20:56

What a fool. Bin the chilli 🌶️

wildwestpioneer · 04/11/2023 20:57

I'd chuck the chilli's in the bin

ChiefWiggumsBoy · 04/11/2023 20:58

I would struggle to understand this behaviour. It makes no sense whatsoever.

Cherrysoup · 04/11/2023 20:58

Why has he done that. Chilli on cheesy potatoes? Weird.

Scotch bonnet is one of the hottest chillis, op...
He really doesn't sound normal, if he's deliberately sourcing red hot chillis to cover every dish when neither if you can tolerate it.
He's either dumb or unwell.

madeinmanc · 04/11/2023 20:58

The potatoes might have worked with a pinch of Spanish smoked paprika, the hot kind, if he wants to add a kick to them.

Pinkpinkpink15 · 04/11/2023 21:00

Why are you still with this weirdo??

UndercoverCop · 04/11/2023 21:01

Sorry OP but chilli cheesy roast potatoes sound delicious

Minihippyme89 · 04/11/2023 21:02

I’m sorry, I know I’m going to sound really rude but is there something wrong with him mentally? Why would he do this 🥴

TomatoSandwiches · 04/11/2023 21:04

YANBU

Who keeps buying the fucking chilli's?
