    I’m married. I do most of the cooking anyway. My wife is banned from cooking chicken because of the last time. So… “<Wife’s name>, we talked about this. No chicken. Let’s go to the Mexican restaurant nearby tonight.”

    I love the maliciously positive comments about this fake senario.

    None of you would eat the salmonella chicken, no matter how much you respect your spouse.

    you shut the fuck up, eat, and next time, you do the cooking. Your girl is not at your service.

    Lol. You can really tell who has and hasn’t been in a long term relationship in the comments.

          You can see it spillong on that yellow sauce(jam like one on bottom) (red ellipses)
          (while only parts of skin I see are marked in green ellpses):

          drumsticks with mac'n'cheese

          there are visible ground pepper(or dried herbs) visible sprinkled on sauce
          to me that looks like Russian dressing or fry sauce

    Be grateful that someone thought enough about me to make me diner. And perhaps casually suggest we join a cooking class together.

      I mean if the other partner goes to work and the other is at home, it’s fair to expect the stay at home one to take on the burden of most housework imo.

      Full day of work and then your partner gives you shit about not cooking your own food? Fucking hell

        Where do you see it stated that she doesn’t work? Maybe that’s the best she can manage after a long day of work herself

          It’s baked in to the scenario: You get home from work. She’s already been cooking. These are the two clues you need to pay attention to.

          That implies she’s at least had some time more at home than who ever’s receiving the food.

            Maybe she goes into work earlier than he does, maybe she works from home, maybe she does shift work. There is nothing “baked in” to this scenario.

          Where did you see that she does work? We’re all going on supposition here. She doesn’t work, fair to expect housework. She also works, fair to expect sharing the housework imo

      I’d probably mention how it looks raw and unappetizing, but put it in a nice constructive manner.

      Just suffering through that shit doesn’t sound like a good relationship imo

        It’s a meal that I don’t have to cook after a hard day of work, and is most likely an expression of love. There’s nothing that tastes better than that.

          That shit took 5 mins to prepare tops. Like if someone slaved away in the kitchen and it just turns out bad that’s one thing. I can put on a brave face and appreciate the effort for that. This plate on the other hand is an insult to the chicken that died for it. Hard to imagine that someone didn’t mess it up on purpose to be honest. I wouldn’t say that of course but I wouldn’t eat it either. “I’m sorry, it just doesn’t look like something I’d like to eat. If you like it that’s great but be sure the chicken is thoroughly cooked. I’d rather make something else for myself now.” That’s what I’d like to hear in a situation like that so that’s what I’d say.

          Honesty and the ability to receive constructive criticism are pretty great things in a relationship. Since it doesn’t pass as ‘something I don’t have to cook’, I would just thank her a lot, and apologise but say I prefer it a bit more well done, and perhaps show her how I like it. Maybe mention the risks that come with undercooked chicken. I would also be infinitely grateful if she showed me nice tricks or just simply explain in detail how she would like me to stuff for her. All kinds of stuff.
