Would this upset you or am I being silly?

[ChangeyMacChangeName]

Whilst cooking dinner I told my aunt a cooking tip. Perhaps everyone knows about it, and it seriously is a tiny thing, but something that works well in a recipe. I'm probably the last to know!

My husband leaned over and smirked at my aunty and uncle and said "for my next tip, I'll be teaching you all to suck eggs".

Everyone thought it was hilarious and laughed loudly.

I know its a just little thing but I felt upset and stupid. Face went red and hot. My husband said there's nothing wrong work what he said.

Am I overreacting? I can laugh at myself normally and do. I dont know why this upset me, DH doesnt normally poke fun at me in front of others - which is what it felt like. I'm being silly right?

EXACTLY!!!! its ground breaking 😂😂😂

I should have known as I typed it someone would be waiting to one up it 😂 these people must be having horrendous Mondays!!

I didn't know that and I really doubt your husband knew it!

This is a really minor thing to get upset about IMO. It was just a sarky comment.

😂😂😂😂. how do you know she does all the cooking? thats a very sexist comment to make

It depends on the delivery though, was it “I just learned you can make flatbreads from flour and Greek yoghurt” or “to make flatbreads you use flour and Greek yoghurt”?

Let me give you a hint. The clue is in the word 'guess', which does not mean 'know'.

Like this?

I think that's an amazing tip! Had you made some and then your aunt asked about them and you told her the recipe?

That's a great tip.

Race to the bottom. 😁

I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing

Not a hugely obvious tip… unless they’re all Greek?
but it’s just a joke, maybe slightly misjudged, I wouldn’t dwell on it.

and judgemental too...

Yes, you are.

I’ve never even attempted to make flat bread and would never know to include yoghurt. I doubt your husband did either. He might have intended to sound jokey but it’s the sort of passive aggressive comment my mother would have made and she’d have intended it as a snipe.
Make him a delicious chilli with the secret ingredient of senna. 🤣

That's a great tip. I have never heard that, so thank you. I don't think it's widely known in the UK.
Your DH was showing off. YANBU to give your tip. Don't let him shut you up. If he does it again, ask the aunt if she found it useful. If she didn't, so what? Just smile and shrug. I would've found it interesting :)

I absolutely don't think I'm Top Chef or superior. My aunt and I chat a lot about absolutely anything and she'll often say random tips or things about cooking etc. I was saying it more as a "isn't this awesome" as it really does make lovely flatbread whilst I was cooking (something different), we were just chatting in the kitchen around me cooking food.

I normally can laugh at myself and frequently do. I was just trying to understand why it was so funny for everyone. He just came up to me and said I'm bring ridiculous for being upset, he still thinks it's funny and would say it again....

Is your aunt Delia Smith?

Yep, I haven't heard of that either. It certainly isn't on a sucking eggs level as far as I'm concerned.

I suppose it still depends how you said it, but I'd not let it get to you. He was being a bit of a prat, and if I was your aunt, I'd have handled it differently, rather than just laughing with him.

Agree it's a great tip. Unless your aunt is from the Middle East or somewhere where flatbreads are made and eaten frequently in the home I'd guess that she probably didn't know this.

I think you both should get together with OP's DH, same puerile humour seriously, grow up.

If I was already making flatbread to my own trusted recipe, I wouldn't exactly relish in being given a helpful 'tip' mid way through, without asking for any input. It could be taken as, 'my method works better than yours'.
I would understand him making a joke as it could have been to ease the awkwardness. Maybe don't bother give cooking tips to your in laws while they're preparing meals in future?

I'm very sorry OP, you are clearly very upset by this comment that your partner has inflicted on you..

but really! some of the comments are just classic! and did you ecpect anything less? you want the world to validate that your partner is a DICK. well, by the end of this thread you'll have it

😂😂😂

Thanks for the tip! I have greek yogurt and flour and am now going to do this, this eve!

PS your husband was being a bellend
