Swede surely?

No. That's a vegetable.
I'm on about the meat being so boiled to death that it resembles a piece of suede.

She just dumps it in boiling water with a bit of seasoning then leaves it in the oven for a year or so.
She has the audacity to call it 'roast' beef.
She makes nice roast lamb/pork/chicken but for some reason she does this terrible thing to beef. It's her favourite meat too.

How can you possibly make an arse of roast beef?
Stick it in the oven for an hour or two, job's a good 'un.

She likes it boiled or braised or whatever the fuck you call it
She actually likes it that way so we have to lump it

I think cooking has moved on a wee bit
My mum used to murder mince and tatties. I despised it. She stuck the mince in the oven for about a week and a half. It was horrific.

The 1st time my (now ex-) wife told me she was making it I nearly vommed. It was actually fantastic. It had flavours and all kinds of things that I wasn't used to.

My mum used to boil the fuck out of vegetables. Now I steam them. What a fucking difference.

Our stories are similar.
I even bought them a steamer for an anniversary once. For a few weeks we had lovely veg and then she worked out how to murder them in a steamer too.
