A bowl full of mini pastries

Not so much AIBU because I’m doing it anyway. But it’s a public holiday here in South Africa. My husband has gone for the day doing his sport. The weather has turned grey. I’m sitting on the couch eating a freshly airfryed bowl of mini pastries. Cheese puffs are my favourite, I’m going to leave them until last. Sausage rolls my least favourite. I’m going to eat them first.

Nothing for dipping?

Oh no. Pastry is not to be dipped. It’s to be enjoyed crispy and flaky (which sadly these ones are a bit short that way, I think they could have done with another few minutes in the air fryer)

I’d be the size of a horse if I ate that lot.

I have some room to move. Ran 21km yesterday so it does ease the guilt.

Voted YABU because obviously you need to eat the best ones first for maximum enjoyment of them!

YABU OP - what if you get too full to fully enjoy the cheese puffs? I'm not saying you won't eat them anyway, but it would be annoying to have filled up on sausage rolls and then not be hungry any more. The way round this is to eat one of each, in ascending order of preference so that you still end on a cheese puff, but you get to enjoy some as you go along.

Good point. (Putting down sausage roll and picking up said puff)

I love those kind of snacks.

I would eat the sausage rolls first, because they are best eaten hot.

Can we have a pic of the snacks. Or a diagram to show their relative positions on the table?

What table? 😂
