To expect to be able to buy "naice" ham on-line

Doing an on-line shop and I just want to get "naice" ham and "naice" biscuits. The term "naice" was not recognised!

AIBU to expect the supermarkets to get with the programme and sort out their search facility!

You have too much time on your hands.

FishfingersAreOK · 21/10/2013 11:36

You are right - I have a broken foot. I do have too much time on my hands. But shock-horror.....starting a thread about something lighthearted.

Did you mean to be so snippy?

I found myself saying "naice" to my mother. She was v confused. Always forget she's not a mnetter

Delilahlilah · 21/10/2013 12:19

l find myself using mn abbreviations in text messages. Always forget recipients are not ah fait with the terms Blush dare not risk introducing my Mum to MN, her recent discovery of fb is losing hours of her day!!!!

How is "naice" pronounced, incidentally?

FishfingersAreOK · 21/10/2013 12:36

Slowly Grin

rhymes with mace crowler.

BaronessBomburst · 21/10/2013 12:41

Would a naice fish finger be a breadcrumbed fillet, or just Bird's Eye as opposed to shop's own?

Crowler · 21/10/2013 12:41

Ah. Thank you.

You could probably search on "Duchy". That overlaps naicely with "naice".

TheGirlFromIpanema · 21/10/2013 12:43

OP, YANBU to think that on-line shopping should recognise naice ham. I take it you were on Ocado daaaaahlink? Grin

However YABU as fish fingers are NOT ok EVER. They are the work of the devil and as such this thread should be deleted pronto to make way for the more serious isshoos of the day Wink

FishfingersAreOK · 21/10/2013 12:55

Fishfingers are OK. I saw Aunt Mabel and Pippin showed DS and me how they were made.

Fish fingers are luurvley. They are at their most luurvley after a busy shift at work when you walk into the kitchen and find them still on DS' plate where he hasn't eaten them and DH forgot to clear up after putting him to bed. Again.

TheGirlFromIpanema · 21/10/2013 13:22

Baroness YAalsoBU.

I will not back down on this most important of important of points.

I bet Aunt Mabel was secretly spitting them out when the cameras were turned and Pippin is a dog so they are entirely suitable for him actually.

Maybe you could change your name to FishfingersAreOkforDogs Grin

FishfingersAreOK · 21/10/2013 13:34

FIshfingers are OK. They are. I was told so. And not just by Aunt Mabel. So nerr.

Don't tell anyone but I actually made my nickname before I saw Aunt Mabel.....and was based upon trying to get over the PND-inducing efforts I was going through to be a "supermum" . You know, the cook everything from scratch, avoid processed food, yaddayadayadda. My HV told me to stop trying so hard and that Fish fingers were OK. And jam sandwiches. And she was right. (OK it took more than a few breaded bits of cod and jam sandwiches to get over PND but YKWIM) My DCs have not keeled over from Fish finger poisoning. And Fish finger sandwiches are lushh....mmmmmmmm

Oh. And my dog farts horrifically if she gets leftover fish fingers.

So, yet again....,. And a nurdenurdenurnur too Wink

So where do you stand on marmite?

BaronessBomburst · 21/10/2013 13:36

Fish finger sandwiches! :)

TheGirlFromIpanema · 21/10/2013 13:40

marmaite you mean Wink

Tis as good as fishfingers are bad!

HaroldLloyd · 21/10/2013 13:42

There is deli ham on ocado reduced to 3.33 for a great lump of it.

Very very naice.

BaronessBomburst · 21/10/2013 13:58

Marmite has to be in a jar, not the squeezy one. It tastes different in the squeezy one, and you can't scrape it out as efficiently.

FishfingersAreOK · 21/10/2013 13:59

I love marmite. DH loathes it. Makes him go all gaggy in a drama-queen-esque way does not make me stabby when he does that, oh no not at all..grrrrr

I did however realise how my DH (then BF) loved me though when he made me marmite on toast when I was ill once. He delivered it to my sick bed with a cup of coffee. I could tell he struggled to make it as he looked a bit green as he handed it to me.

I didn't have the heart to tell him he had done it ALL WRONG! Far too much marmite, not enough butter and it was awful. I had to eat it though as he had clearly tried so hard to do something to make me feel better

I remember when weaning DS that I told DH that he seemed to like marmite. DH was most vehemently opposed that any son of his would really eat marmite by choice. Cue us sitting either side of the highchair, me with marmite toast fingers, DH with plain buttered toast fingers, to see which ones DS took. When he kept taking mine, DH blamed it on choosing mummy. So we swapped the toast and DS started grabbing it from DH instead. Grin
