after a night out with my hubby and a few friends, we called at the pizza house before heading home, we sat watching a little tv while eating our pizzas,my hubby finished his and went to the toilet,i couldnt eat any more of mine, as i have never been a big eater, so i put my pizza, (still in its box on the coffee table) with in seconds, our greedy cat, jumped up, stood all over the pizza,and licked it, before i had chance to scoop him off! i was just glad i had finished! anyway i went to go and get ready for bed, when i heard my hubby shout, "have you finished with this pizza?" thinking he was going to bin it, i said yes. when i went back in the room he had just polished off what was left of it!!! i couldnt tell him for ages! we laugh about it now, but it made me feel sick at the time, has anything simular happened to any of you.
One thing that is really disgusting is when you get a pizza with pineapple on it and the pineapple has gone off. It is just revolting to bite into rotted pineapple - we had a Tesco one that was almost rancid and we didn't notice until we ate it. Talking of cats and food. Our friends had a revolting incident - it was a friends birthday and her mother made a cake for her and iced it. She left it on the rack for the icing to set and when she came back the cat was licking at the icing and had make little grooves around the side with her tongue. Rather than taking the icing off and starting again she just got a fork and make patterns on the icing and served it as is. Yuck. Must admit since then I have been a little hesitant about eating other peoples home made food when they have pets. She saw nothing wrong with it.
Jo, your poor husband , what with pizza and toilet seats he must have some sort of death wish...lol remind me never to have supper at your house. I cant really think of anything quite like that apart from maybe once when I was a child my sister was choking so my other sister rushed and got her a glass of water. It just so happened she had filled the glass with dirty water from the washing up bowl. I wasn't there at the time not that I recall any way but the thought of it makes me want to be sick . xx lulu
Jo and Saxo, you made me laugh so much! Mine is nowhere near as funny...when i shared a flat n London with 3 mates, I had the bedroom right by the front door. A flatmate came home one hot day and rushed into my bedroom gasping with thirst...she picked up a glass of water that had been next to my bed for weeks ( I was very untidy back then).It had an inch of fluff and dust on its surface, but without noticing she gulped it down and drained the glass and said ,Thats better! I said nothing but kept a close eye on her- she had no after effects, and we often laugh about it now.
We had a similar thing happen to us. My wife was cookng a bolognaise in a pan on the stove. She left the kitchen for a minute or so to do something else and when she returned to the kitchen she found one of our cats on the stove with his head in the pan. She shouted at the cat who looked up at her startled before running off. My wife saw his mouth and chin were covered in sauce. We decided we were not going to eat it so she turned off the cooker and put a lid on the pan so it could cool before throwing it away. We went out to buy take away. When we got back our daughter was just finishing a bowl of spaghetti bolognaise. She had gotten the mince and the sauce from the pan on the stove. We didn't have the heart tp tell her at the time but we kept making meowing noises at her and made references to fur balls. This annoyed her quite a lot as she didn't have a clue what we were on about. We told her about 6 months later and she still started heaving as though she was going to be sick.
My nan used to boil up large pans of cheap meet from the butchers for our dogs. When I helped out (as a young child) I used to add a few oxo cubes as I thought it would add flavour for the dogs but mainly as it smely much nicer while it was cooking. My auny is and always has been quite a greedy wonam and would often help herself to things off other peoples plate if she called in while we were eating. One afternoon she thought we were cooing stew as she could see vegetable peelings ready to go in the compost and a pan on the cooker (nan was cooking a beef casserole but that was in the oven). . . Well I was going to tell her that she was helping herself to the dog meet but only the day before she'd stolen my last piece of chicken which I was saving as my last bite. Nan told her about it a few days later when she could finally keep a straight face. Revenge was so sweet even as a child.
I remember once when we had a dog i used to buy mince from the butcher for the dog,i used to cook it and mix with veg and biscuits and the dog loved it,i was then making spag bol and i told my husband that the mince on the side was dog mince and that i had used it in his spag bol,he went mad,i denied it and said i was joking,i didn't use it but to this day he still doesn't know wether i did or didn't as i won't tell him i didn't,mean i am.Also once when we lived with my nan and we had family up the men were in the garage and my nan was cooking,she got the dish out of the oven and dropped the dinner over the floor,the four of us women quickly scooped it all back into the dish and put it back and the men never knew,i think we told them a long while after but you never know what goes on in restaurants anyway,it's most probably a lot worse than we do at home,i never waste food if i can help it.My mum years ago cooked dinner for my dad and they had a row and she threw the dinner at him,after she quickly slipped a plate by the wall and let it slide onto the plate and then served it up,my dad didn't know a thing just as well.
