Your dad is awesome

We bought that with high hopes and my croissant loving, jam loving, cereal loving child hates it. So now we have a 98% full box of cereal no one will eat.

Oh I love your Dad, can he shop for me too?

My advice with sickly cereal is to eat it dry in front of the TV. Have a drink with you of course, but don't put that stuff into milk....

Best example: Start. Amazing sugary delight. Awful as cereal, lush as a snack food!

"I know you liked the feta dip but they didn't have it and this looked the same"

Ok then Grin

The cereal that tastes like churros is lush, Aldi are doing their own version now too.

Daughtersandbristolian · 22/11/2022 21:11

Can we all borrow him! He’s a 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Bemyclementine · 22/11/2022 21:11

The dip looks amazing!!

He can tell you the price of butter or fuel at every local store and exactly how to get from random place to random place complete with motorway service stations, A and B roads. He is vaguely useful Grin

That dip sounds lush! If Ollie and Paws are anything like my tribe, they'll try to steal the dip from you. Yes, I know cats shouldn't eat garlic but try telling this lot that!

GetOffTheRoof · 22/11/2022 21:32

Yes, that dip looks fab!

I'm going to need to know more about this churros cereal.

Note: I'm 42 and no kids. I have a box of Coco Pops just for me.

SadButTheTruth · 22/11/2022 21:33

Your dad sounds delightful! 😍

PieonaBarm · 22/11/2022 21:34

Aw OP, your Dad sounds just like mine, with an encyclopaedic knowledge of the roads and motorways (of which motorways and major A roads has rubbed off on me 🤣). He comes here for tea and then I go round and all kinds of stuff I buy that he's never contemplated are in the fridge and cupboards!

PeloFondo · 22/11/2022 21:38

I also have 3 packs of butter because "it's expensive" Confused
He gave me an explanation for everything in the shop

Yep, is he actually my Dad? I get mine chicken from the butchers near me as "no water comes out of it" They do a bulk deal at £13 and every time he gives me £20 and won't take any change. I'm 45 and in a decent job, so I've started buying him £5 worth of the sausages he likes too and telling him he can pop them in the freezer for when he feels like an easy tea 🤣

Wafer thin chicken "for the cat, he can't chew the proper stuff with one tooth"
Cat is delighted

I've bought the Caramelised Biscuit Christmas Pudding from sainsburys. I can't wait.

PeloFondo · 22/11/2022 23:24

I need that churros one now. That can be his next job Grin
