or is DH over this packet of biscuits?

[redviolin]

I was at home alone last night, DH was out. I am 35 weeks pregnant and feeling a bit picky/faddy about food. Was craving biscuits, went to our corner shop and bought one of those Mc Vities "factory floor" packs where they put all the different types of biscuits in one big bag for 99p.

I watched TV and selected bits of the biscuits to eat: the jammy bit of the jammy dodgers, the outside of the bourbon creams. When the cookies didn't contain enough chocolate chips I'd discard one and eat another. I've done this all my life with cheap biscuits - mainly the night before my period when I'm feeling a bit low, but it's more of a few times a year thing - not a chronic habit to buy packs of things, eat part of them and throw the rest away.

Anyway, I was left with even more "bits" of biscuits, not really anything anyone can salvage, so I decide to throw them away.

DH got home and saw inside the bin (biscuit graveyard) and went mental at how wasteful I am and how I must have an eating disorder. I said I knew it looked like that but really I was just being a bit indulgent and wanted the variety and as it was a cheap pack I wasn't wasting money etc.

He has woken up this morning still pissed off about these bloody biscuits. DH grew up in another country during food rationing, so I understand where he is coming from, but surely he can give me a break at 35 weeks?

I don't believe the op said she left thesrest of the packet covered in drool! ! Do people only see what they want to see? I'm pretty sure op is not a spaniel with a bag of bonios!

Another one who ditches Jaffa cake sponge. Dry and yuck.

And I'm sure if a biscuit bag came with just the middle of jammy dodgers or the outside of bourbons, OP would buy that. But I've never heard of it and I'd wager that neither have any of the pp telling OP off

How dare you OP?!

I am horrified at the thought of those poor rejected dodger bits and bourbon middles.

Has anyone called 101 yet?

This thread is hilarious. Enjoy your biscuit bits OP.

I do need to know how you eat the biscuits off a bourbon and leave the cream though. I can picture it the other way around but how do you get the biscuit clean off the middle bit.

Bourbon middle bits is the food of the gods and in light of that I'm reviewing my previous decision. YABVU.

sounds pretty normal to me, pregnant or not. If you were doing this 3 times a day I would say it was weird but not once a month or so.

I was at a school governor's meeting one night and jaffa cakes were the only things on offer.

I don't like them but I was starving, so I ate around the edges and left the orange centre (can't stand that bit).

You should have seen the looks I got

Kiwi skins are edible.

Just saying. Waste not want not.

But, they aren't cheap biscuits in the end, because you binned half? So why not spend more on biscuits that u like?

Ooh - lovely hairy kiwi fruit skins!

Nicky yes it is!! Send me the pastry - I like it but I can't eat the inside of a quiche - bleurgh!

Hairy kiwi skin must be like dried testicle skin.

No thank you ma'am.

Anything anyone does with a Jaffa Cake, other than leaving it on the supermaket shelf is wrong. They are disgusting little things. Biscuit/cake - call them what you like, just keep them away from me.

If only I felt that way about all cakes and biscuits

landrover the OP likes the bits she ate, she wanted the bits she ate. It was 99p.

Ninety nine small pence.

I eat like your DH (although didn't grow up like he did) to the point where my breakfast is an assortment of cereal dust.

Just save all the biscuit crumbs for him next time.

Apple cores are edible too.

seriously wasteful habit although our squirrels would love you, they only get cheapo rich tea here

Broccoli stems are the food of the gods, sliced and then fried in a little olive oil & butter.... yum. Anyone throwing them away needs shooting, unless they send them here!

Oh FFS.

OP, eat what you like. Nowt to do with anyone on here. God, the hysteria over a packet of someone else's biscuits.

Once a month and once more since she has been pregnant. Under £15 per year. I dare say there isn't a single person on this thread that doesn't do something many of us would consider wasteful for £15 per year.

... and there had better not be a single smoker on this thread complaining about the OP's actions!

Worra they must have been similar to the look I'm giving you now - Jaffas are the king of biscuits! (Well, they have actually been proven to be a cake, but I digress...)

I can't buy them anymore because they're just so easy to pop in your mouth... again... and again...

If they sold them without the orangey bit, I'd probably buy them cherry!

M&S do lovely Passion fruit jaffa cakes.

These are lush - raspberry cakes.

I've never seen those before, where does one purchase such a glorious looking item?
