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?

Kiwi skins are like saggy, shaved, stubbly testicles.

OP, eat what you like. Nowt to do with anyone on here

Yep,you're right in that it's nothing to do with anyone else how you eat your biscuits. When you come onto a public forum and ASK people who's being the unreasonable one, that doesn't really stand though, does it?!
OP wanted opinions. So she's getting them. It's obviously split into two camps. Normal eaters, and picky from the middle and ditch the rest one.

Less than £12 a year on biscuits, i spend more than that a month for wine.

enjoy your biscuit binge. That time of the month is chocolate and i cant stand the stuff normally. < still looking at Christmas chocolate from 2013>

9 pages of biscuit controversy!

If this bothers you then you are very lucky that you clearly have no real problems in your life.

I'm just jealous of the restraint shown in throwing away the less desirable bit of a biscuit instead of just shovelling it in.

ScreamEggsAndHam eyes are bigger than her belly? OP is 35 weeks preganant!

I don't find eating just the bit you want that odd.

it's that there were no bits left for anyone else!

O.O

Gosh, if only I'd merely eaten the parts of biscuits I like and thrown away the rest. I'd be waaaay slimmer than I am now.

Where in the law books does it say one must always eat everything you have?

I do understand not wanting to be wasteful. But seriously, how beneficial would some biscuit remnants be to someone?!

Whilst we are on the subject of biscuits,I am very troubled by the very existence of toffee dodgers they are just all kinds of wrong. Even just seeing them in the supermarket makes me want to set fire to the shelf,and if it was not for all the other perfectly innocent respectable biscuits hanging out there minding there own business that would be upset then I would.

Op YANBU. I myself have been known on occasion to buy those little sundae/triffle pots but only eat the custard

I am most upset about the Jaffa cake wastefulness. I would really like one now...

Please tell me people don't discard bits of fondant fancies..

Toffee dodgers sound much more appealing than jammy dodgers which are pretty dreadful.

Yes, come on, ScreamerMaan, where do you get your raspberry cakes? And do they come in cherry?

Hand him your left over crumbs next time?

They sell them in Booths. I've not seen them elsewhere though.

Have you taken up a crack habit?

I'm now shaking my head and muttering obscenities at my screen and wondering about my weirdo detector because I had thought you appeared to be very sensible

Arse, I'm in the wrong part of the UK for Booths. I'll search the interwebs.

some of these replies are hilarious! It was a 99p pack of biscuits, yes you were a bit wasteful, but there are worse crimes, and far weirder habits.

I only have one food compulsion I can think of, which is that on the rare occasions I buy a Feast ice lolly, I have to eat the thin choc-nut crust first, then the chocolate ice-cream, leaving the inner chocolate block untouched and preferably unbroken, before I eat that.

Yanbu as you are 35 weeks pregnant.

Even if ywbu saying "that is rank"would do. No need to carry it on the next day!

I was hoping I'd be the first to do

But I see someone else got there first.

This is the second biscuit controversy in Mumsnet's history - what shall we call it? Biscuitgate 2?

Op just give him the finger!! Boom boom! Do you see what I did there!!!!!!

Quill my children won't eat what they refer to as "the milky bit" on the top of fondant fancies. I do though, so no waste here! Phew

If you bite both ends off a Cadbury finger you can suck your tea through it!
Give it a go!
