Criticised over my eating style

[Fernandez54]

Not sure how to explain this properly without it sounding petty/silly.

My partner does all of the cooking (we don’t live together), we tend to only eat once a day, usually late evening so by then I’m starving.

Last Night he made lasagne and a huge Greek salad which was in a big bowl. I proceeded to put some salad next to my lasagna, and he got really cross, said why I am mixing hot and cold food together stating “that’s disgusting”

He is a different culture to me and does eat a little differently…but the point of the post is , I will eat how I want! I stood up for myself and he said I was over reacting, but it put me off my meal then, and I did feel a bit ‘told off’

AiBU to be cross about this ?

How could you possibly be unreasonable?

How did he eat his salad? Straight from the bowl? Afterwards?

Odd and rude

I like when the salad gets slightly warm from the lasagne. I don't know why. You're definitely not unreasonable, anyway.

I don’t know, I think I mean my reaction to it

Why do you only eat once a day?

Then you have a super heavy food like lasagna?

This does not strike me as a healthy eating pattern.

Yes straight from the bowl

Where else exactly would you put the salad? I do the same. Does he serve his on a side plate or something?

He's the odd one!

Only when I’m with him, he’s Mediterranean and works in hospitality so he often works late, so think it’s just a pattern he has adopted.

Communal bowl or individual bowl because one is unreasonable and the other isn't.

It was in a big bowl

ewww so he sat and ate straight out of the shared serving bowl?? gross, he's the one who should be criticised.

@Fernandez54 If he's getting really cross over how you eat salad, ffs, this one is not a keeper!

Communal

Plenty more fish on the sea. Seriously.

So he puts his saliva covered fork into the shared salad bowl?

Never allow some man to tell you off.

I can't understand how he can do 'all the cooking' if you don't live together.
So you just don't eat at all when at your own house?
But he is weird for saying it's disgusting to put salad next to lasagne. He could say it's not how he would eat it, but why would he care how you eat?
If I were you I'd start cooking my own meals. And eating lunch.

It's fine to eat salad in its own bowl. Putting it on a plate with the entree is a bit odd.

Oh no, he eats it out of the big bowl instead of of serving it individually?

Ewwww.

This is none of your business, the OP can eat what and when she likes.

The thread is not about her diet.

Nope. He's the unreasonable one. Would he do the same if you had friends over for a meal? Because if so he's also the disgusting one. Not you.

I think it’s a question of preference and not something to get het-up about.

Plenty of food doesn't need to be cooked.

Sorry I meant he does all the cooking when I’m at his house lol. Obviously I eat when I’m at mine, otherwise I would be super skinny which I’m not 😊

Tough. She posted is it unreasonable. Yes, eating once a day is unreasonable.
