Had tasting last night

My FI is such a weirdo when it comes to food. I was getting seconds of all the expensive stuff like prime rib and salmon, and he's over here eating the appetizer tomato & mozzarella as his dinner. LOL. I'm a total cow/ pig/ meat lover so it blows my mind that he doesn't like beef. The kid carving the prime rib cut off a big piece of fat to discard to the side and I was like "um, I totally want that!" so he laughed and gave it to me. (I know- terrible for my cholesterol but it's my favorite!)

Then when I texted my best friend/ bridesmaid that it was really yummy she said "Can we get a plate of bacon wrapped scallops just for us in the bridal suite?!"  And I was like Oh my God, that isn't even one of the options and I didn't even notice! She was joking like "Wow it must have been good if you forgot about bacon!" hahahahh so true

Yummmmmmm! I'm in a similar boat - I could eat prime rib every day but FI hates it because it's "too fatty." He's baked chicken, all the way. He DID insist upon the bacon-wrapped scallops for a passed hors d'oeuvre though.

Our tasting is a week from Sunday!

Feed me all of it, please.

We haven't scheduled a tasting yet, but tomorrow is my cheat day and I'm daydreaming about all the stuff I'm going to eat.

@lolo883 When I make chicken at home, FI gives me his skin and when I make rib eyes on the grill he gives me his fat. My brother and I did his when we were little so my mom always called us Jack Sprat (the nursery rhyme).

My tummy grumbled reading this. The fattier the meat the better. I love all meat

FI is the same way. He doesn't like fatty meat and hates anything that's off a bone. I made a whole chicken last night and I get the legs/wings/skin all to myself. HA!

I'm the same, but unfortunately am prone to bloating after having a heavy meal with lots of red meat and carbs etc, which I defo want to avoid on the big day!
We're having a turkish style buffet, with a few different meats including grilled fish and chicken, and lots of healthy salads. I don't want to be bursting out of my dress!

Me and Fi are totally meat gorgers. But I have a bad habit of filing up on veg/carb!

That all sounds SO delicious. I am in the same boat with the meat/fat/skin. Mmmm...

I specifically requested Bacon wrapped scallops for the cocktail hour. NOM NOM

I love tomato mozzarella salads. I'm not a big meat eater so prime rib doesn't sound that great to me.

When I was a kid, I would ask for the corned beef fat off everyone's plate. My family thought I was disgusting.

YUM I love mozzarella and prime rib.

We have a following up tasting on Monday to pick different appetizers for the cocktail hour and I'm looking forward to eating all the potato cakes, pork sliders and bruschetta.

Reading about eating fat kinda just made me want to throw up lol.  But, I don't eat dead animal carcass- to me, that's being a weirdo that people consider that food   I'd be sitting with your FI eating caprese, yum!

flyingfoxes

Ugh I hate hate hate fatty meat and skin! 

FI eats the skin and fat - one time I was shredding chicken breasts for burritos, and had discarded the "scary stuff" - the brown veins/suspicious-looking stuff, etc.  He strolls by and asks what that pile is, and I told him it's the yucky stuff.  He scoops it up, pops it into his mouth, and strolls out. 

 

He is not allowed to shred any meat for dinners.

I'm also in the camp of people who don't like fat or skin or meat on bones. Yuuuuuck.

But I'm glad your tasting went well!!
