Why do I get so annoyed about carving the joint?!
i.e. against the 'grain' so to speak. Am I being too picky?
Answers: When I let my other half carve the joint (Lamb or Beef) why do I get soooo irritated when he carves it the wrong way?

Because you know that it will be tough if cut incorrectly. A piece of meat should be cut across the grain to be tender when chewed. Show him how to do it.
Pretend you're a caveman and do it with your teeth next time!
Perhaps. So long as the dinner tastes and looks fine then I dont see the need to be so iritated, we all have our own ways of doing things.
There is always a correct way to do anything ,but lots of people have correct ways.As long as the meal ends up on my plate i dont worry about it.
LOL you are not picky at all. There is a right and wrong way, perhaps you should show him a few times and let him taste the meat the right way and wrong way so he can distinguish and understand what you are saying.
Nope - gotta be done the right way. Tell him to take a lesson!
use your aggression on him & shag the sh.it out of him after dinner....works your dinner off 2 hehe!!
