A newlywed woman recounted an awkward situation when she inadvertently served spoiled food to her husband’s guest from Canada.
Husband’s Canadian Friend Arrives for Visit
She said her husband told her his closest buddy was coming from Canada for an Abuja event and intended to lodge at their residence for two days.
Her spouse handed her cash to cook a tasty meal for the guest.
She confessed she retained the funds rather than buying ingredients, explaining that she had earlier asked her husband for money and he claimed he had none.
Using Leftover Fried Rice
She disclosed that she had cooked fried rice a couple of days prior and placed it in the freezer.
She added only 500 grams of fresh meat, cooked it, and then warmed the rice before presenting it to the visitor.
Later, she discovered that the rice had gone bad.
Guest’s Reaction After Tasting the Dish
When the guest sampled the dish, he took a single bite and ceased eating.
Her husband tried the food, reacted similarly, and confronted her in front of their visitor.
Following the episode, the guest asked to be moved to a nearby hotel rather than stay at their house.
Husband Reveals Friend’s Visa Help
She later learned from her husband that this friend had been assisting them with visa paperwork for moving to Canada via an educational program.
The news stunned her, as she said she had no knowledge of such assistance.
Please keep my identity private. I want to ask the group about what occurred on Tuesday. My husband mentioned that his closest friend was arriving from Canada for an Abuja event and wished to stay with us for two days. I agreed. He gave me money to prepare a tasty meal, but I held onto the cash because I had earlier asked him for funds and he claimed he had none. I had cooked fried rice a couple of nights before and stored it in the refrigerator. I took it out, added half a kilogram of fresh meat, cooked the meat, and reheated the rice before serving it hot to our guest. I did not notice that the rice had become slimy and spoiled. The visitor tried a bite, could not continue, and even spat out what he had chewed. My husband asked what was wrong, then told the guest the food was off. He tasted it himself, spat it out, and instead of defending me, he blamed me openly in front of our visitor, shouting about where I got the food and what I did with the money he gave me. I explained that the rice was the batch I had frozen three nights earlier, which I had kept there. He yelled that he had given me about 60,000 naira to cook something proper and that I had gone for old rice instead. I clarified that the rice had been fresh in the freezer just two days prior and that I did not realize it had spoiled, urging him to stay calm. I considered going out to buy something else for him to eat, but the friend said not to worry, that he was fine. However, because of the incident, he advised my husband to take him to a nearby hotel so he could eat properly and not inconvenience us, which I also thought reasonable. My husband took him to the hotel, but upon returning he continued to argue with me, accusing me of deliberately serving spoiled food and questioning why I would do such a thing. He reminded me that this same friend is assisting with our visa application to Canada for schooling, and I reacted angrily because he had not informed me of that. He said I had driven away my helper out of greed, but I insisted I was unaware of their plans and that such mistakes could happen to anyone. Should I call the friend to apologize after what my husband said? Should I prepare a meal and bring it to him to make amends, and how will he view me now?
