So my wife has recently gotten into very experimental, GIF-recipe type foods that you see on facebook. Like those recipes that looks questionable at best and even worse when it's made in real life.

Last weekend we were invited to a BIG labor day party by my wife's boss. It was actually pretty fancy and catered but also a "potluck" for those who wanted to show their special culinary skills. So welcome but not necessary. My wife decided on this "sushi casserole" or lasagna type thing that was basically layers of rice and sashimi in a baking tray. I watched her make it and she was winging a lot of it and it looked TERRIBLE. Like instead of making sushi rice, she just used regular rice, and instead of sashimi grade fish I think she just bought her own from god knows where and sliced it. It wasn't even good tuna or salmon, it was some other kinds of fish that I couldn't identify. She topped it off with cut up avocado and some Japanese mayo (like it did in the vid).

Well, when it was done it honestly, and I mean HONESTLY, looked like a tray of vomit. The mushed up avocado (which had gone slightly brown) plus reddish fish plus scattered rice and watery mayo made it look exactly like a big tray of puke. I was frank and told her the "sushi casserole" looks seriously gross and that sushi shouldn't even be in casserole/lasagna/burger/cake or whatever else buzzfeed comes up with that week to begin with. I thought we were both on the same page at that point and she would laugh and throw the monstrosity away, but she got extremely mad at me.

She told me I NEVER like the food she makes and I'm never supportive. She also brought up the fact that just because I had traveled more than she has and eaten at far more "fancy" restaurants than she, it doesn't mean I can be such a food snob. I told her that dish had nothing to do with trips to Japan or 3 Michelin star dinners; it was just a bad dish, period. Well, the day of the party comes and she brings the casserole. As suspected, it looked SUPER out of place on a table full of nicely arranged, catered foods (turned out very few people brought their own and the only ones that did made desserts). The day passes and everything else is polished down except for her sushi casserole. It remained sadly full and by the end of the party it was glaringly untouched and people were making subtle jokes about the "mystery dish." My wife heard some whispers about it and became visibly upset.

So we got back home and I tell her not to worry too much and that there was just too much food overall which is why hers wasn't as popular. She ignores me and walks off. So ever since then she's been cold and giving me the silent treatment on most afternoons. Apparently she's mad that I didn't get some of her casserole myself and didn't encourage others to try it. She said I humiliated her by not touching the dish and telling her it looked gross when she was making it. I told her I can't make people eat things they obviously don't want to eat.

Some text AFP from special guest /r/relationships:
Wife [32F] made a disgusting "sushi casserole" that I [33M] was against for a big potluck. Dish ended up a flop and now she's mad at me.

My favorite part of this is "big bowl of sushi rice with raw fish on top" is a totally normal Japanese thing and really good. Probably less effort than this loving mess she threw together.

Whilst chirashi-don is amazing I wouldn't make it in bulk for a buffet.

There's a video of Mario Batalli and Gwyneth Paltrow in Italy, and Mario's trying to convince Gwyneth to try this rare chicken dish and she's having no part of it. The next day he has reeeeal bad food poisoning.

Those ham balls aren't all that different than those fried chicken balls you get with the mysterious red #6 sauce, really.

The real crime is that nori cone hotdog and dorito thing up page.

The bit that struck me about the sushi casserole story was that he described her making it and then wrote "So the day of the party rolls around" implying that this monstrosity of rice and raw fish had sat around in their fridge for a while.
Then it sits on a buffet table all day.
