I have worked as a chef briefly in a rich man's home while single. In all my months in that house, while cooking, I never threw a piece of meat, fish, fried plantain, etc in my mouth. If I want to eat anything, I pick a spoon and a small plate, put the meat or fish in the plate, sit down and eat it, after cooking or frying it.
After marriage, the first day I stayed with my wife in the kitchen, I watched as she washed smoked fish for soup and she kept throwing some pieces into her mouth. I was irritated, fish that flies, dust, different dirty hands and other elements had touched is what this woman is eating before cooking?
I moved closer and explained to her that it is not hygienic to eat such and also a bad kitchen etiquette. She laughed loudly and told me that is how she eats it and nothing has happened to her and as for the etiquette part, that is for professional cooks.
Immediately, I knew I was in trouble.
Wify will fry plantain and eat almost half in the kitchen, she will fry meat and the size of each chunk will reduce by almost half before she is done. Eggs are not spared, she. will finish frying eggs and keep pinching it while serving.
Sometimes, she will stroll into the kitchen to do the dishes or something not related to cooking, she will pick a fork, take one piece of meat or fish from the pot and throw it in her mouth, then come to join me, open her mouth and the smell of fish or meat will fill my face.
I don talk tire, I am enduring it now. For better for worse, innit?
NB: I will show her this post and comments. Make una no cuss my love o. Lol
Hahahaahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahah heheheheehehhe kwakwakwakwakwakwakwa
Lmao
ReplyDeleteOga we will not cuss your love because many of us are guilty of some of the above , if not all sef.
Very funny 🤣
ReplyDelete😂😂😂😂 You are a good husband. You just gotta endure.......
ReplyDelete🤣🤣😂😁 na "longer throat" be that🤣🤣😂😂😁😁
ReplyDeleteyour wife own too much
ReplyDeleteshe will finish the food before she serve people meal. She can taste it if is necessary else she should reduce it please. I do not eat while cook cos i felt i can enjoy the meal after cooking. If i feel like eating is best i dish out from the pot than to eat from the pot. That is a very bad kitchen manner, your wife should watch it before your kids join her with such ugly attitude.
It’s much 😥 coming off like lack of self control while claiming, it is who she is. If na pikin, we go flog am.
DeleteIt's the other way round in my home. My hubby will almost finish my fish or meat In the name of keeping me company in the kitchen
ReplyDelete😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteI Don die. I don't why sha. I don't eat while cooking. I can cook without tasting it.
But the rest of my house? Forget it.
So whenever I'm in the kitchen, they'll be timing me. As soon as its excuse myself.
They'll shift one. It's part of the cooking process
LMAO
I am on this table o,especially the frying and eating it hooootttt directly from the pan.Hi five to wify👋...
ReplyDeleteFor better for worse oh!!!! Enjoy d ride
ReplyDelete🤣🤣🤣🤣 You are like my mom..She will smack you if you do such in the kitchen..But you are right, it is a wrong kitchen ettiquette...You be proper English man
ReplyDelete🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteMadam wifey, why you dey torture our brethren with your kitchen-anini doings na? So tey you wan use illegal protein smell wunjure him olfactory nerves eh kwa?🙄. Come on stopeeeet osiso! Behave yourself and be a virtuous wife even in za kitchen and stop doing surgery for fish, meat, eggs etc. in the kitchen.
There you have it sir! We haff corrected your love with loff😄🤣. I love that you chose to face this with humour instead of war. If this is her only vice, bros abeg just chest am🙏. Na money some wives dey always steal from their oga wallet and account🤦♂️.
Hahhaaaa! There is nothing to cuss abeg. Naa normal for some people. Naa the reward of been in charge of the kitchen. If I want to fry meat, I will deliberately cut 1 into tiny pieces to be throwing for mouth as the need arise. I remembered when I dey my papa house, if i'm the one frying meat or fish and hot oil mistakenly touched me, naa 1 piece, abeg I cannot suffer in vain.
ReplyDeleteThis your wife may spoil her fasting with this habit o. Because it takes discipline to fast or even abstain from some unhealthy foods. If she's fasting she can mistakenly taste the food forgetting that. I hardly eat food am cooking knowing well that after cooking I will balance well well & eat it. It was my sister that wanted to start this habit but my mum cautioned her back then.
DeleteUnless I’m fasting or ill I can’t fry plantain or proteins without munching on a piece. Grilling and air frying has helped me break this habit a bit, but it’s such a fun addiction.
ReplyDeleteMe I can fry one million meat,fish or plantain without eating it, I will only eat it when I am done with it? I dont know how I do it but I have been doing it for a very long time till now I still do it and I dont intend to stop doing it..
ReplyDeleteLol,I do the same especially when I am cooking large portion because at the end of the cooking I won't be able to eat again.
ReplyDelete🤣🤣🤣 I am also guilty.i like to taste before serving my meals.
ReplyDeleteOne of my uncle’s exes was like this. She would be cooking and half the meat would be finished before she is done cooking🤣🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteThere is a big difference in tasting for wellness and actually eating an entire meal out of the pot before it is done cooking. Folks need to be disciplined.
I can fry plantain without tasting any
ReplyDeleteSelf control is the Key word
I don't do that no matter how hungry i could be.
ReplyDeleteI see it as a bad habit and wont tolerate it from my kids.
While pinch it when you can have it whole lol
I don't do it ooo, even when I remind myself that it's my kitchen and I can do as I please, my mum's bombastic side eyes from decades ago seems to appear on my kitchen walls🙌🤣
ReplyDelete🤣🤣🤣. I can relate
ReplyDeleteI do fry, then sometimes pick a piece or two for tasting, but I don't do it all the time.
ReplyDelete😂😂😂 we won't cuss your love because many people are guilty of this.
ReplyDeleteI can cook and fry a whole goat without tasting from it. My friends dey hail me because of this. Maybe because I grew up with an old woman.
Lmao. When I'm cooking, I throw a few pieces in my mouth, but not as much as you describe your wife does. It's a normal thing. Allow madam enjoy mbok
