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!

Please tease him relentlessly about this.

"Pass me the salt would you starling - I mean, darling!" type of thing.

Love this. Thank god he didn't eat the string. Just think, he would have made you a lovely necklace, with beads of shit.

StrangeGlue · 07/03/2014 14:41

My cats once hunted a fat ball and I thought that was thick...

Love it!

Lastminutelizzie · 07/03/2014 15:02

I have tears rolling down my face reading this post - thank you, haven't laughed so much for ages - it's made my day !

MsOrange · 07/03/2014 15:02

He is so lucky you hadn't put meal worms in them...

Pliudev · 07/03/2014 16:36

Thought mine was bad when he made a sandwich with 4oz of (solid) parmesan cheese.

Link to [[http://www.handmadescotcheggs.co.uk/scotch-egg-style/artisan-scotch-eggs artisan scotch egg supplier].] No sign of any string

Shartibartfast · 07/03/2014 16:44

whoops link fail! trying again!

Blatherskite · 07/03/2014 16:45

The whole thread and then this finished me off -

"Pass me the salt would you starling - I mean, darling!" type of thing"

Now I have to stop reading as DS is trying to read over my shoulder to work out why I'm laughing so much and I don't want to have to explain what 'fucker' means!

preemieparent56 · 07/03/2014 16:48

Does he cycle? Waterproof trousers and cycle clips would be a good start! LOL

DoctorTwo · 07/03/2014 17:01

Artisan Scotch Eggs.

ErrolTheDragon · 07/03/2014 17:22

If your DCs don't want to make any more snacks for him, these are on special offer. only £7.50 for 50 balls, with extra flavour and nutrition! The list of what particularly enjoys them includes Great Tit so should be perfect.

ArtisanScotchEgg · 07/03/2014 18:23

Beaut of a name change idea here Grin

janebblogger · 07/03/2014 19:07

I'm glad I dropped by to see what a 'fat ball' actually is. I thought it was some sort of hoax, 'Man eats fat ball' !! Like that guy and his penis beaker. Unbelievable. Was your hubby under the influence of something at the time of consumption?? How did the children take it after all their hard work? And now you've got those angry birds to deal with. Good luck!

Candustpleasefuckoff · 07/03/2014 19:40

I have never laughed so hard reading something online. I don't think this can be beaten. Especially liked idea of playing the birdy song and starling not darling! Excellent.

compostwoman · 07/03/2014 19:48

OMG I wept with laughter at this.

The Hand Made Scotch Egg company are just up the lane from us :) Totally yummy - unlike a fat ball.

How the heck did he not notice what it was???

shelsley · 07/03/2014 20:28

Hahahahaha -this is hilarious! My first ever time on Mumsnet - love it!

Susiesinden · 07/03/2014 20:37

This is hilarious!! I'm tempted to make these as a snack and see if my DH falls for it....(Moohahaha evil laugh) He is king fridge grazer and a food critic - might teach him to appreciate the normal stuff.

Might leave the string out tho even he's not THAT stupid Wink
(Hope he did actually survive the night tho)

cheapskatemum · 07/03/2014 20:43

Hang on a minute, that stilton and apple artisan scotch egg, the whole one,in second picture from left, does look exactly like the fat ball picture posted earlier (except they forgot to add string and, er, a twig...)

Scarletohello · 07/03/2014 20:59

Hmmm was he on a low carb diet..?

rlawrance · 07/03/2014 21:58

I don't want to alarm you but my dog ate a pat of butter - just butter, not congealed lard and germy nuts - and he was sick as a, well a dog actually and had the worst case of the squits I've ever seen. Brace yourself, it could be a rocky ride (especially when you consider what rubbish patients men are.) I would stick to the falafel story and hope he blames a dodgy burger or something.

EBearhug · 07/03/2014 21:58

I suppose it's not so different from eating dripping, or a nice bit of German Speck.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 07/03/2014 22:05

Dh has eaten at Tebay services, and says he doesn't recall being offered fat balls!

NK2b1f2 · 07/03/2014 22:35

There, you've done it now. I tried to give up mn for Lent just for a laugh and then this thread has brought me back [well worth it, too] Grin
