Red meat isn't good for the body,too much of it causes severe pain in the joints(gout),but our men no dey wan hear that one,they just love their beef,so solution is when you cook your pot of soup,take out the portion ull need and put the rest in the freezer,wen he asks for extra beef,just go 'eeiya my darling and its alredy frozen o,tomorrow I'll giv Ɣ☺U̶̲̥̅̊ xtra,pele my dear' wink

There are several options

You can leave the meat uncooked and lets see if he would eat the meat raw.


You can cook your meat and add valium, Anytime he steals it he sleeps for a week

Or you can report to the police or HE-F-C-C

Woman if he likes meat very much, buy additional meat for him after buying the ones you are cooking with. Season and marinate it very well and fry it up for him. Keep them in the fridge for him to be snacking on when he wants meat that way he won't be meddling with your soup.
Abeg give him meat to eat if that is what he wants, he has one life to live and can as well eat all the meat he wants once he can afford it. It's not like he is still a kid growing up that has to be taught moderation and restraint. The sweetness of the well seasoned fried meat will even have him thanking God for blessing him with you each time he is snacking on them. I like to snack on well seasoned fried beef sometimes too.

How come men got all the best deals life has to give? They don't experience period cramps, don't get pregnant and push babies--they marry wives that pamper them and cook anything they want for them? Don't I envy them? Hahaaaaaaa grin grin

please let ur husband eat as many meat he wants to, buy extra more or reduce the size of the meat piece to make it surplus if you have fixed budget for it. Please i repeat let him eat ur meat as he wants to, because if you deny him the pot of soup and another woman see the loop holes, she will snatch your husband with meat and pepper soup and you will come back here looking for solution on how to win your husband back from 'strange meaty woman'. Problem of many men that kept late night in pepper soup joints started like this.

when you're cooking meat, if you know he likes snacking on it, then set some aside for him, this isnt rocket science.

abeg dont be opening silly threads because nobody needs some awoko coming in to give lectures on how to serve meat to a nigerian man?

nobaga: Be serious.

It is a bad habit. Even if he leaves the money for the meat, it does not mean he can eat more than his share while others do without. If there is scarcity, parents must do with less. In this case, it is not about scacity but about a bad habit that the man cannot let go. Yes someone said it already, freeze one third of the meat. In oder to train him, leave none in the pot after everyone has eaten. If he makes a special request for more or you want to satisfy his habit, cut the meat in his plate by a third. He can have that after his meal if he so desire.

If that is his special habit and you do not curb it in a friendly or subtle way, you will never have enough meat in the house.

There are men that spend big on food and drinks outside while they leave little at home. I hope this is not the case. But the lady have to be careful. You do not want to drive him to eating outside but must also curb his habit. Sometimes it is not out of greed but just a bad habit.

Why do we attach so much importance to trivial things? why must you ration meat for your children? It's only one life you and your family have got to live..please enjoy yourself. Life's fun and simple.
Well, my dad used to 'steal' meat from the kitchen butI turned out well..I probably will 'steal' meat from my wife>>someone's rightly pointed out that it is a sign of a happy family. we shouldn't take too many things too seriously.

To me, dis attitude isn't gud... He should show some self-control & build his self-esteem. If he needs more meat, he should simply ask his iyawo for more OR go out & patronise suya joints. Himself going to d kitchen to "take/steal" meat like a greedy kid...it's unacceptable.

Some men have a terrible habit of being stingy when it comes to giving their spouse money for foodstuffs only to go to joints and restaurants later to fill their tummy. It is even such stingy men you will hear complaining that they go to restaurants because their wife's soups are not sweet enough when their stinginess won't allow them provide the money that makes good soups. grin

SUV: my husband is fond of taking meat from the pot of soup/stew after everyone had finished eating.

i asked him why he does that he said his moth is feeling somehow sad

when we were growing up, my mum used to beat our house help for taking meat from the pot, she said its a bad habit. now my hubby is doing the same thin.

The annoying part is that sometimes we may not have surplus meat, we will only hv enof to go round everybody for the meal times, and when he finishes eating the meat in the pot, the real meal time, if there is no meat left to serve the food, he will complain that u are serving food without meat, that it is not proper.

wives in the house, please is anyone feeling or experiencing same thing?

Hubby's in the house, pls what do u guys think i shld do?

pls don't abuse me ohhhhh! i am only saying my mind

Did you not notice your husband was a meat 'thief' before you accepted to marry him? This is why ladies and men should look before they leap into this institution called marraige. Whatever bad habit you tolerated whilst the both of you were dating is what you will have to tolerate now that you are married. You can't change a grown man. Your husband was probably stealing meat from his mother's cooking pot and his mother said nothing. Now he has taken that same obnoxious behaviour with him into his matrimonial home. If most Nigerian women would raise their sons right and teach them proper manners rather than spoiling them rotten all because they are males, then we would not be seeing threads such as this.

As for what you should do? LIVE WITH IT!

Re: Husband Taking Meat From The Pot Of Soup/stew: Whats Ur Take On This? by helsinki: 1:19am On Jul 04, 2012
@SUV your hubby's idiosyncratic demeanor is no doubt puerile.If he wants more meat he should give you more money so that after he has satisfied himself there will still be enough to go round for everybody.Even in such a case of a plethora of meat in the stew,he should not be the one to go and take meat from the pot.He should call you to get him more meat.If he eats the meat that you or your children are supposed to eat,that is the height of irresponsibility.But i believe taking meat from the pot as a grown married man is not peculiar to him because there is a child in every adult,something psychologists call childish infantilism,and it is different in every adult.But that should not threaten your marriage,just manage him and manage the situation.

Lol! If he wants more meat, then leave him to have more. If he ever complains that there isnt enough meat, then calmly tell him that its because he ate it all.
I would just let the man be! wink

Or, like the OP's husband, he provides money for the cooking and she makes him feel guilty for eating what he freaking paid for. undecided

If the ration that is meant for him is not enough as the man of the house then he is a walking heart attack waiting to happen. Find a way to get him to the hospital and check his cholesterol level. The physician will help you do the rest if your husband is the afraid to die type but if not, according to medical sciences high cholesterol is a sure way to ........you know

Is he a poor man, he should go out and buy suya or roasted chicken if he wants to eat meat. Or madam should stop using meat to cook for now. Fish and Kpomo will be a better alternative. Dry fish.
