People coming to dinner should bring something better than Banoffee pie

[SalvadorDalek]

DWs friends came to dinner today and they brought along the vilest pudding in the universe Bannoffee pie (sicklysweet shite)
Where as this horrible pud come from?
What is wrong with cheesecake or lemon meringue

Most cheesecakes are horrible????????

Go wash your mouth out

If I read this OP to my DH, he will ban me from MN on the grounds that there are CRAZY people on this website.

He adores Banoffee Pie. We used to have to drive 45 mins to the back of beyond every time we went to Scotland to go to a particular cafe that serves the most heavenly Banoffee Pie.

If someone comes to my house and is kind enough to bring a gift, then I don't complain about it.

Admittedly, when a visitor recently brought a bottle of apple juice, I was slightly disappointed. Particularly as it was in a Fortnum and Masons bag.

"I love all puddings. Banoffee would have been fine with me.

What would have pissed me off is a cheese board."

Banoffee pie is utterly revolting. I would have kissed the hand of someone who had brought a cheeseboard. A glass of port and some cheese is tons better than a pudding any day.

OH loathes bananas and DD isn't keen on them either, but then our friends know that bananas are a no-no chez Bunbaker, so it would have been unreasonable to bring banoffee pie to our house.

Banoffee pie is yummy, lemon meringue is minging. YABU.

You've always been able to get white stilton. Its just the cheese sans mould - not worth eating.

Well blow me down I never knew that.
Yorkshire Blue is the best Blue cheese ever

YABU. One does not invite folk to dinner, only to expect them to bring part of the meal.

If you are entertaining guests, you cater for them.

If they are good enough to bring you something anyway, I wouldn't have thought you'd have the cheek to complain about it.

I agree Grimma. I find white stilton rather pointless, as is mild cheddar.

Go wash your mouth out
If I'd just eaten cheesecake, I probably would .

Maybe they're better nowadays, too many vile '70s packet efforts consumed in my past.

Yorkshire Blue?

Yorkshire is way too big - that can't be a proper regional cheese.

Eurgh meringue. Did she make the pie? If she did then it must be good. If it's bought crap, I would've made an emergency and served that instead. YANBU but you might be if it was made...>!

Our friends always ask if they can bring something as do we when we go out to friends

We had 9 round on Christmas day and I asked my mum and dad to bring the turkey

People helping and bringing things make for an easy day

That's ok under those circumstances Salvador. If it's agreed folk will bring something & what it's to be, fine, you make sure it's to the liking of all beforehand.

The clues were there all along Watson..the Dr Who pun in the name, the insistence on calling tea 'dinner' the innate good taste terrible snobbery

how do you know I am not calling lunch 'dinner'
do you know what time we were eating Watson?

Grimma
The 1970s Cheesecakes (with the radioactive cherry topping) have nothing at all to do with a proper homemade cheesecake.

I like German Cheesecake, my MIL makes a good one.

Lemon meringue makes me puke.
I dislike cheesecake.

I heart bannoffee.

I know you were not calling lunch 'dinner' because you're UnquietDad.

UnquietDad would never say such a vulgar thing.

Silly boy

YABU banoffie pie is lovely. It was invented in a safari called the hungry monk in Jevington in Sussex
And you can get blackstix White in the co-op

Whoever bought their sister cheese, U ROCK, I wish mine would follow your example

Bloody iTouch predictive text thingy, an eatery not a safari

MrsMooo
I did a post in the summer about wanting a wedding cake made from cheese but DW wouldnt let me
I love Cheese and wish people would buy it for me.

jonicomelately
but I have said it

I am confused

How the f*k can predictive text bring up 'safari' for eatery? Lol. That's so (to use the teenage vernacular) random.

Dinner today? And you've finished by 8pm and have time to MN...
