Today, I sampled some of the food my fiancée's mom is making for our wedding. Everything tasted terrible, and I almost vomited. Turns out she never actually went to culinary school as she claimed, but had just watched Julie and Julia. It's too late to book another caterer for the wedding. FML

Today, I'm getting married. A few months ago, I allowed my mother in-law to take care of catering. She begged to be a part of the wedding, so I gave her the caterer's number and order info. It appears that I will not be eating at my own wedding because she decided to order food I'm allergic to. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. Being a chef of a highly-rated restaurant, I cooked a well-liked dish. Not only did she say no, but commented on how bland and tasteless the meal was. FML

Today, I spent 5 hours preparing dinner for my fianc''s grandparents, whom I've never met. At dinner, his grandmother says to him, "If you're going to pick someone to spend the rest of your life with, at least make sure she can cook." I'm the executive chef at a 4 star restaurant. FML

Experimenting

By anon - 24/08/2024 22:00 - United States

Today, I found a recipe online that looked delicious and not too complicated. Halfway through cooking, I realized I was reading the instructions for two different recipes and had combined them into one horrific dish. The resulting meal tasted like burnt cardboard mixed with regret. My girlfriend ended up ordering takeout. FML

Today, surprisingly, my roommate made a nice meal. Within an hour, I started throwing up. When I confronted her, she confessed that she'd used long expired ingredients, including meat, because she didn't want the garbage men to think she's "the type that wastes food." FML

Weddings suck

Today, I got dragged to a wedding where I knew no-one. It went on for hours, I got so hungry. We get to the meal, my wife had forgotten to order a vegetarian meal for me. I couldn't eat the main meal, due to allergies and no alternative. I then spent two more hours just waiting to go home. FML

Today, I called my mom to make sure she could attend on the wedding day my fiancé and I had discussed. She started off with criticizing the venue we considered, then went on to criticize my fiancé, and then stated she would under no circumstances help out, but demanded to pick my wedding dress. FML

Today, I went to my fiancé's house to have dinner with his family for the first time. Trying to be polite at the end of the meal I went to take the plates in to the kitchen. I overestimated how heavy the half-finished soup pot was, and threw soup all over myself and future mother-in-law. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend to a restaurant we both like. By the end of the date, we were fighting and she angrily broke up with me. To make things worse, I got food poisoning. She didn't. FML

Julie and Julia is the equivalent to culinary school, didn't you hear?

Why wouldn't you sample her BEFORE you book?

Then this FML would never exist and we would never have the opportunity to laugh at this OP.

Why wouldnt the husband say that she never really went to culinary school? Even if she went before he was born, he still knew her food is nasty. Hope you can find a flexible caterer!

There are plenty of people currently in culinary school. Hit up a local college and sample the food of a current student. Someone in school (who can actually cook) would probably be eager to book their first job and I'm sure they wouldn't be pricey. Look at the positives....

That's actually a really good idea. Like when you go to students for cheap dentistry. It's a discount and most of the time it's fine

Have you never had a meal at your future mother-in-laws house? I just find it weird that you would let her cook for your wedding if you've never had any of her food before. If you can't get a caterer, maybe order from a restaurant instead. Find one that delivers if possible. It might be a pain, or more expensive if you have a lot of people coming, but at least no one will throw up.

That sucks. Maybe you should try Something like that, but instead of Julie and Julia, watch a Paula Dean episode. FYL

It doesn't matter -- grooms don't eat very much at the wedding anyways. Of course, you do run the risk of your guests staging an open revolt if the food is that *lowers sunglasses* revolting.

Maybe she was just too used to the cooking to know it was terrible?

Come on, get creative. You could hold a potluck, where everybody cooks and brings in their favorite food. Or hold a competition to see which of your guests is the best chef, and pay him/her to cook for everyone.
