to be fuming at this substition suggested by supermarket staff?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

I sent DD2 into Lidl to get feta for supper.

They didn't have any and so she stood there looking perplexed.

The assistant asked if she could help? DD" explained the situationa nd came out clutching mozzarella.

Who on earth suggests that as an adequate replacement for Feta?

Am I Brieing Unreasonable?

[ariadneoliver]

I'm sure it was irritating but unfortunately by the time she got home it was a feta accompli.

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Feta accompli!

Genius.



I ought to see the manchega, perhaps I'll get some free stuff for my trauma. Or should I contact the Big Chesse at head office directly?

[OliviaMumsnet]

@ChaosTrulyReigns

Wouldn't have ricotta this at Waitrose.

MN chestnit

Or indeed at Wheytrose.

[HelenMumsnet]

Oh Gouda, a cheesey thread.

[ariadneoliver]

Helen I have Tetilla that yours was a great pun.

[FunnysInLaJardin]

oh I do love a good cheese punning thread almost as much a good fishy punning thread, which of course is not what this is atrout.

Chaos a visit to the Manchega as a roule sorts things out. If you got a refund I for one would Port Salut you. After which you should go straight Chaume and put the whole thing be-rind you

[YoniMaroney]

I would put a roquet-fort up their collective behinds. Bunch of comtes, the lot of them.

When they see me pa-neer their doorway, they'd mas-scarpone pretty edam New York Sharpish.

It would be a Red Leicester day for them, they'd get their fon-dues. Hell hath no fury like a cheesed off chef - I'd run in there screaming 'Yarg!!!!'

They'd be quarking in their boots, and no mis-cheese-steak.

[elQuintoConyo]

Did you get all primula and clutch your pearls?

Situations like this really grate.

[ChippyMinton]

There's something fondumentally wrong if you need to complain.

[ChippyMinton]

Just in queso it happens again, maybe next time go yourself or send her Bruder?

[ariadneoliver]

I hope this gets resolved, it would be a rarebit of good news!

[GladbagsGold]

I hate this, you go in for one thing, the staff Parmesanthing else off on you.

Tell the Manchego, in fact offer him outside to Cambazola go if you think you're hard enough.

[flamingtoaster]

Any argument for this substitution is full of holes - but it's interesting in its own whey. Ever since Edam and Eve people have made stupid decisions.

[StorFetHamster]

I have no cheese puns

[phantomnamechanger]

ROFL, you cheesy lot you

"Ever since Edam and Eve people have made stupid decisions" love it!

Storf, you need a cheese dictionary mate, we all have one dontya know actually i can't think of any good puns that have not been punned already either

[JumpJockey]

I hope you're not going to raclette them get away with this...

[JumpJockey]

You can't just be cooking with whi-chevre cheese comes to hand.

[anklebitersmum]

I'd have been cheesed off too on account of me brieing a feta fan and stilton-ites tea's not complete

[WowOoo]

Dolcelatte staff get away with this!

(really need to eat huge amount of cheese now)

[phantomnamechanger]

do songs count?


"I needed cheese in times gone byyyyy
My recipe did call for fetaaaaaaaaaaa
I sent my daughter off to buuuuuuy
some but they gave her mozzarellaaaa"

[ChippyMinton]

Really, they shouldn't be getting away with employing any Tomme, Monterey Jack or Harry...

[LaMaga]

At least they are both cheese. I ordered baby leeks and I got parsnips as a substitution once.

[showtunesgirl]

As Victor Meldrew would say: I don't brie-liiiiieeeeeve it.

[IncrediblePhatTheInnkeepersCat]

I once wanted ricotta and they tried to give me cottage cheese!

(E)dam you Tesco!

[AmazingBouncingFerret]

Oh how annoying, the assistant sounds like a right laughing cow.
