>>21451147 (OP)Before we got married, when we were still dating, my ex wife's dad wanted us to cook him and his wife dinner for their wedding anniversary. I obliged because I was still in the phase of trying to impress them rather than hating them. He asked we make this Garrick steak dish that he had once in the Garrick club in London. He said he'd provide everything needed, we'd just have to cook.
Its supposed to be flank steak with panchetta, shallots, mushrooms and parsley stuffed inside a butterflied steak and then stitched together and cooked. He provided none of the above, he bought rib eyes, an onion, coriander, giant flat mushrooms and sliced deli ham. He didn't even get the right kind of twine to stitch the steaks together with. He gave us red sewing thread.
It was a colossal clusterfuck of an abomination. I have vivid memories of them pretending it was delicious eating over cooked steak, with an undercooked filling and pulling red twine out from between their teeth.
