To be annoyed with Stanley Tucci?

Regarding his sandwich.

if looked so delicious on Instagram.

In actuality it was horrible. Prosciutto is like raw bacon. Mozzarella didn’t melt. Olive oil is tasteless grease. I like pesto with spaghetti but not, as it turns out, in a sandwich.

i was so looking forward to it. Went shopping on the way home specially 😕

What food have you had that didn’t live up to expectation?

My god this thread could not be more Mumsnet

😆😆😆

I quite like pesto on crackers.

I don’t like prosciutto or Parma ham, but mortadella with pesto is ace.
I could take or leave mozzarella but if you’re going to use it it’s on you to ensure it’s properly melted.

Agreed and sorry for the derail OP. I knew TY had a new partner and that his wife died very young but did he really scarper like that? How do you know?

I'd be gutted and would struggle to enjoy his music again if so.

This grim phenomenon a deserves a thread of its own!!

Mozzarella, Pesto and Tomatoes. Parma Ham also a fantastic addition. Tomatoes need to be perfectly ripe, plucked straight off the plant at the height of a hot day from your garden and eaten within 30 mins.

Stanley Tucci isn’t gay?!

Sorry, language thing- I’d use belonging as eg a member of family or close person. I don’t mean they have ownership!!! Sorry about that😅😅😅😅

Anyway, on topic (ish)...I'm vegetarian so pass on the prosciutto but pesto and goats cheese makes an awesome sandwich.

I guess I don’t see it as okay because he took vows and he ultimately made her death about himself. But I appreciate the other opinions.

I love pesto, mozzarella tomatoes & basil in panini.

Tend to use a sandwich maker as that squashes it down & melts the cheese nicely.

I didn’t know that about Thom Yorke. How disappointing.

He didn't leave his wife. He was wasn't in the room at the very final moments. her sister and mother were with her. He was with their children.

@FancyJapflack You need to buy better olive oil but I agree that prosciutto is horrible.

As for the not being with his wife as she died - people can only do what they can do. He said he did it to stay strong for their children. I don't know if I'd do the same thing but I respect his priorities.

My mum died yesterday. I wasn't with her. It doesn't mean I didn't love her.

Sorry I didn’t mean to upset anyone.

He stepped out at the end. She would have been out of it by then and was with her DD (his SD) and her friends. He went to their shared children. I'd want my children prioritised.
Lots of people make that decision, if it doesn't cause extra distress to the dying person, it's no-one's business. I chose not to hold my mother's hand while she died. My sister and one of my DD's did.

ffs. Caring for my young child after DH died was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, hugely exacerbated by the trauma of seeing him die. Personally I’m glad I was there but I wouldn’t for one moment judge someone for deciding that they couldn’t be because their priority had to be their children. Until you’ve lived it, you can’t possibly understand the experience.

I’ve seen literally dozens of Mners saying they chose not to be at their close family members’ deathbeds.

He was taking care of their children. Watching someone die is horrific. He knew his limits and that's ok.

I love pesto on a sandwich. I once had an absolutely delicious one with grated carrots and goat cheese.

prosciutto: I like most prosciutto. Rather nice but not something to get incredibly excited about in most circumstances. At least imo.

Really? I make cougetti and it takes a few minutes!

1. Spiralize 2. Dress with a little olive oil.

No cooking required.

I understand the experience of living my vows.

He writes lovingly and movingly about her in Taste, saying he still misses her every day. He did not leave her when she was ill.

I haven’t made the sandwich but I have other recipes, and been good in the main.

He made a decision to protect himself so he could manage the aftermath. That isn't making her death about him. I took vows, I don't remember them saying that I had to be with my DH when he died.

And olive oil is amazing. Fresh bread, olive oil and salt is delicious. (Especially with fig jam 😋)

With a good Balsamic vinegar!!

Thanks for the pile on ladies. It won’t change my opinion.
