My DH says it is unreasonable as 3-4 should be sufficient - I say he is BU - Mumsnet jury return the verdict please

Ok so I realise the error of my ways - need to get some blue veins going - fellatio bring the pickle, I still have a vat load of port left over from christmas and few bottles of wine - party at mine then?!

DH has slopped off to work (best place for him) he said that I set him up and you are all biased (poor loser) Grin

Am feeling vindicated and also realised I managed to get accused of a stealth boast (ticks off another mumsnet bingo point) - all in all a good day

jam You are my sorta gal ..... 7 cheeses.... you are indeed a wonderous woman..... pray tell me lovely lady..... what crackers have you to go with those?

Wallison · 16/06/2013 18:02

3-4 cheese is definitely insufficient. Cheese is like shoes - you need different ones for different occasions.

Currently in our fridge:

Cheddar
St Agur
Blacksticks Blue (I am counting this even though there is only a tiny bit left)
Philidelphia
Halloumi
Feta
Parmesan

I would say that was a basic stock of cheese below which the fridge contents should never drop except on shopping days. Ideally, there should be more (you know, bit of Wensleydale, some manchego etc.)

I would be the size of a house if my fridge contained half the amount of cheese mentioned in some of these posts!

Eyesunderarock · 16/06/2013 20:02

It's worth it. Grin
