He has eaten a fat ball

And complained to me that it was a bit greasy.

Sigh

the fuckwit has eaten the fatballs made by the children in a park last week and left in the fridge to solidify.

I have no idea what culinary delight he thought they were supposed to be.

I wouldn't mind but he was there when they made them!

This is so so funny, thank you. I'm crying with laughter

PigletJohn · 11/03/2014 22:50

in winter, I always try to get DP to ask the man on the Pets and Garden counter if he's got Fatballs.

She never will Sad

Piglet John that really made me laugh.

ballsballs: yep, an earplug. Apparently it was pale yellow, squishy and quite wotsit-esque Grin

He has never lived it down.

This 'snack with a string' story is one if the funniest I have ever read. Qualifies in the top 10 of the 'Mumsnet Thread Lap'!

I left a lamb casserole in the oven for my DH when I went out. When I got back he said it was delicious except for one piece of meat that was tough as hell and absolutely vile. Yes DH that was the bouquet garni bag.

Many years ago my Dad, who was rather fond of prunes, went into the kitchen to put more prune juice on his prunes Didn't bother to put the light on. Took one mouthful and spat it out. It was chip fat that had been left to cool and solidify. Looks remarkably like prune juice, especially in the dark.

GimmeDaBoobehz · 12/03/2014 17:56

No, just no.

Why would you even want to eat them?

They don't even look appetising.

trufflehunterthebadger · 12/03/2014 18:08

My DH, who thinks MN is a total waste of time, has just pissed himself laughing at this thread :D

You will be able to dine on this for years, OP

Bahhhhhumbug · 12/03/2014 18:11

If he gets arsey because he has been outed just say 'Who rattled your cage?'

ZingSweetMango · 12/03/2014 18:21

MN is a total waste of time

When my mum and dad first got married they were skint. My mum was delighted to find a market stall selling really cheap mince and bought loads of it. She went home and made mince stew with it and left it in the oven for my dad before going to work. It was the nicest mince stew he'd ever tasted, he told her.

The next week she took him to the market, to show him where she bought the mince. It was still there, right below the sign that read "Minced Meat Scraps - Pet Food" Grin

Grin a friend of mine was very selfish and she made a point of never sharing things like shampoo and shower gel with her room mates. (cheap stuff, mind you)

so they pranked her by making a mix of washing up liquid and washing powder, lemon juice and a bunch of crap etc poured into her shampoo bottle.
she used it and started going on about how the manufacturers must have changed the recipe as it is the best shampoo she ever had!

they only told her what happened a few months later.

I am only about halfway through reading this thread, and I was laughing... 'Artisan' has now tipped me over the edge

:o :o :o

flamingtoaster · 12/03/2014 20:28

This thread has made my evening. Thank you. I am surprised he could eat it - it must have been hard to swallow.

ColinFirthsGirth · 12/03/2014 20:32

Well I suppose it could look like a huge falafel if you skint abit!

ColinFirthsGirth · 12/03/2014 20:34

FlockOfTwats · 12/03/2014 20:59

This has made my week.

What on earth did he think when he got down to the twig???

Lanabelle · 12/03/2014 21:36

well... did it work out ok then? He's still alive I take it? oh lordy, I would have asked sooner but I get so far down and between the baby sleeping on my bladder and the hilarious running commentary above it has taken me till now to get this far :O

ZingSweetMango · 12/03/2014 21:43

I kind of want to know what happened the other end.

I hope his bowels didn't get blocked up.

NewLisaLife · 12/03/2014 22:29

Haha sat giggling at this. I just asked Dh 'would you eat a fat ball?'
He looked at me gone out, I told
Him about this thread and he shook his head! Lol

Ilovemydogandmydoglovesme · 12/03/2014 23:17
