Husband has ruined dinner

[OnAJetPlane26]

I’m been upstairs packing for a holiday so asked husband to cook dinner, all of the ingredients for a shepards pie are in the fridge/cupboard.
Came down and thought.. That smells nothing like shepards pie. He has poured an entire jar of Passata and half a jar of parsley into the meat.
Im going to beans on toast. My AIBU is this..
YABU.. Sounds fine to me.
YANBU.. He has made bolognese with mash potatoes and gravy.

This is the best thread ever 🤣 so your husband makes a shepards pie/spag Bol monstrosity and you were supposed to eat it!!

I would have kicked my husbands arse for ruining a perfectly good meal for no reason at all. Sounds likes he fancies himself as a bit of a chef and adds weird shit to food 🤣 a bit like an 8 year old who doesn’t understand cause and effect!

anyways your a brat and unpleasant and unreasonable for not eating a weird hybrid meal and for calling a jar a jar!

happy holiday you horrid woman 🥰

Did your beans come in a jar or a tin? Asking for a friend.

Dried parsley comes in a jar

He has created his new signature dish 🤣

please tell us you tried it?

It's just a ragu, add some chillies

It's called weaponised incompetence. He did it on purpose so you'll do the cooking from now on.

Or maybe a subtle protest?!

Im missing the point totally, and I’m completely shocked by the amount of
people who have never heard of
dried herbs!!! 😳

Is it?

Dramatic.

You are being unreasonable.

This is intentional incompetence.

In the herb section in the supermarket????

It’s Shepherd’s, as in a person who herds sheep. Which I think is made with lamb mince? Less supportive of the passata with that, but if beef mince (and therefore this is a carry on over a cottage pie), then not ideal but salvageable. But it’s one dinner and you’re going on your holiday. Have fun!

I can only speak for myself but I was imagining some sort of jam jar sized fresh parsley (like pesto or easy garlic) and thought it sounded handy. I do have pots of dried herbs but if I needed parsley for a recipe (rare!) I’d buy actual parsley.

I think she means dried parsley

I think it is the word jar being used as I also thought ‘parsley in a jar’. Maybe if Op had said half a jar of dried parsley it would be clearer?

See I read it as dried parsley. To me it’s the same as saying half a jar of oregano or half a jar of paprika, it’s fairly obvious it’s dried

I have seen men do this sort of thing a few times over the years. Because

1. They have no idea how to cook or what ingredients to use.

1. They can cook a bit, but didn't want to make the meal and this is their revenge. So you won't ask them again

I love that only about 80% of the comments are about the jar of parsley 😂😂😂

Maybe op doesn't like tons if parsley, I don't like it at all. We are allowed to dislike things.

If two out of three people enjoy a meal, it can't be all that incompetent.

Yep lets all let a man get away with weaponised incompetence. Three cheers and a slap on the back for the man child. Well done how long did it take him to think of this sad excuse for a meal, longer than it took him to make it. Ffs I thought us boomers were to blame for all these pathetic men. Do what my boomer friend did drink 2 bottles of wine and pack nothing for DH. When he complains ask him why you are supposed to know what he wants to wear. FAFO

What! I just got a bag from the Co-op for 65p.

I know right? Ocado will deliver fresh parsley to your house for 50p (minimum order applies).

I am flabbergasted that you haven't heard of 'dried' parsley in a jar or packet...most herbs are available in this form these days and have been for years or do you think that everyone has a nice little herb garden or perhaps a few pots growing on the windowsill?! 🤔🙄
