I put this to you, Mumsnet jury....

[FanellaFox]

I bought a pudding today.

DH got it out of the fridge and helped himself.

I go to get my portion, look at the box and realise it should be cooked. I tell him he's an idiot, he says I should have looked when I bought it, I say he should have looked when he got it out.

Who is being unreasonable?!

Was it one of those M and S souffle things? My Mum served an uncooked one of those up to me a few weeks ago and I didn't realise until I saw the box a while later.

Well he gets to eat it uncooked, you can cook your half, so what's the problem. Don't see any of you being unreasonable here at all.

It was a Cambridge Burnt Cream.

The clue should be in the burnt bit really, considering it wasn't burnt until cooked.

Good job he didn't serve mine up, I'm pregnant!

What was the pud?

But who is right. Should cooking instructions be checked in the supermarket or at home before serving?

He is unreasonable !

If he ate a pudding thats meant to be cooked then its his own fault, not yours.

Neither, people putting food in their own gob should check what goes in there.

You check before you eat, I would have thought.

He should have checked them at home I would have called my DH an idiot for doing that

So, check before serving, rather than supermarket Laurie?

Surely you'd read the packet (at home) before serving it....perhaps to see if it should be served hot or cold with or without cream...cooked or otherwise.

He is BU, he should've read the packet as he was being so greedy to get it out of the fridge the second you got in the door.

If the man is daft enough to eat an uncooked pudding - and not actually notice.....his fault entirely!

Your DH is a twit.

Yes. No one checks in the supermarket, who'd remember all the
Ways to cook 'em?

What difference does it make if you are pregnant? Isn't it just to actually caramalise the top? And if he can't tell a creme brulee that isn't bruleed, he's pretty dim.

him.. how could he not have noticed it was raw?

althogh DH once ate a whole pack of chinese chicken raw, not realising they needed cooking. blithering nobber.

BluddyMoFo - All the need cooking/don't need cooking puddings are in the same place I just picked one that was reduced.

Florence - The eggs?

He didn't notice because he didn't know what it was, he just stuck his spoon in.

AtYourCervix - Raw chicken?! Ewww. Am stealing your blithering nobber insult

Pfft, he's being unreasonable to even touch YOUR pudding.

I would have stabbed him with a fork.

I had to laugh at this. Your DH gets it wrong and somehow thinks its your fault for not telling him it needed cooking.
Does he need you to wipe his nose and tie his shoelaces too?

Um - I check things in the supermarket but only because I don't own a microwave. I've learnt through bitter experience that there are some things that can only be done in the microwave.

But I also expect the cook, whether it be me, DH or DD1, to read the instructions on the packaging. If he likes raw pudding then that's his lookout.

He should have looked - he's clearly an idiot

He should have looked. I presume he is averagely sentient and therefore needs to take responsibility for what goes in his gob.

I'm thinking he's being a little unreasonable to tell you that you should've checked before buying it, but would he have known if you hadn't pointed it out to him. I'd have left it to see if he got a tummy ache. Or just popped mine in the oven, then when he asked about it, say, 'well, yes, it needs to be cooked. Its a Cambridge Burnt Cream'.
