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!

So I told my husband about this and he said "I can see the appeal. It would be good on toast!" I bet he would too!

Reminds me of the time my late Pa tucked into the puff pastry thinking it was cheese, then commented "don't buy that cheese again! Bloody awful" (yet proceeded to eat AN ENTIRE SHEET of it)

Or how about when he confused my mum's hemorrhoid cream for mouth ulcer cream. That was an interesting day.

This thread is truly hilarious!

F.y.i RAW puff pastry in sheets from the freezer.

When my daughter made fat balls at Cubs they added dead magots, so I think he got off quite lightly with the seeds.

I once went away for a couple of days, leaving a bowl of home made egg custard in the fridge so that the children could make ice cream in the new ice cream machine. When I came back the custard was still there - but he had made ice cream with a bowl of white goose fat that was also in the fridge. And he had also made them eat it - with no flavourings or sugar. Nobody had been sick, but apparently they had told him that it tasked like chicken.....

I am really, really glad I have been diligently doing my pelvic floor exercises and that I'm reading this in the privacy of my own home! Amaze(fat)balls!!!

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 08/03/2014 14:25

This thread has inspired me to go to the pet shop to buy a new fat ball feeder for the garden!

Pahahaha!!! So glad this has gone in classics,absolutely bloody brilliant!! Thank you for sharing, you have made my evening, haven't laughed so hard in long time!

Excellent thread, so glad to see this in Classics. This has also now reminded me of the time my dad decided to make horseradish sauce using the stuff he'd grown himself.

Much harrumphing and ceremony ensues, as my dad is the sort of man who is typically shy of the kitchen and only has one cooking method in his skill set (frying- his pies have to be seen to be believed).

Hours of drama, piles of washing up. All pets retired to quiet corners for the duration.

Several jars were produced- no artisan airy-fairy rustic labelling or pretty lids, oh no, for this was the pinnacle of Manly Condiment.

Liberally slathered over his plate containing my mother's excellent Sunday roast, it was quite a treat for us to discover that instead of mayonnaise, he had, in fact, used lard by mistake...

Doubletroublemummy2 · 08/03/2014 22:37

That's the kind of thing that mine would do too! I often wonder how he actually survived this long without one to one support?!

spiderlight · 08/03/2014 23:30

OP, Is this your husband?

sandy1969 · 09/03/2014 00:02

If it had looked like an Artisan Creme Egg we might have understood. Even with the twigs and string.

Having been married for some years I can perfectly well believe a man could get to the end of a fat ball before complaining. It's in the realms of normal male behaviour. But still absolutely hilarious thank you.

sandy1969 · 09/03/2014 08:06

Only just occurred to me he must have been chomping through the lard and seeds trying to come across the egg.

ZingSweetMango · 09/03/2014 21:30

makes me think you married Joey Tribbiani.Wink

IamInvisible · 09/03/2014 21:53

This is brilliant but it is just the sort of thing DH would do!

JustBreath · 10/03/2014 10:41

HAHAHAHAHAHA I'm in hysterics!

exhaustedmummymoo · 10/03/2014 10:59

mannifest how is your DH this am? Sorry but had to have a giggle as its the sort of thing mine would do too! Btw how many did he eat before the yuk factor set in? Sorry can't stop laughing!!

Gileswithachainsaw · 10/03/2014 11:12

Twigs, seeds, string.

How the duck did that not alert him to the fact it's not for human consumption.

:o bloody brilliant thread

JustBreath · 10/03/2014 12:08

Still lmfao!

BoffinMum · 10/03/2014 12:12

My DH reckons he might have confused them with Aldi frikadellen. He says it is an easy mistake to make when a man is clearly being deprived of man-friendly snack foods.

Aintnobodylovesnanbetter · 10/03/2014 12:29

He's really had his feathers ruffled bless him
You would have thought taking that first bite would be enough to put him off especially when he came across the string
Made me chuckle though thanks op

DontWannaBeObamasElf · 10/03/2014 13:00

How did I miss this last week?! Saw it on Buzzfeed. How funny!
