"She buys cheap cheese".

[Alchemist]

The DC saw EH at the weekend. This morning I was making cheese on toast when DD pipes up with "Dad says you buy cheap cheese".

Out of all the comments he could have made about me AIBU to find this very funny?

I'm about to have cheap orange cheese on a jacket potatoe. Sometimes cheap cheese is the best cheese!

Someone on Snog, Marry Avoid once received the disparaging review, "She looks like she likes cheap meat." It's now one of my favourite put-downs.

I live near a shop that sells proper expensive cheese, Derek. I bought 3 small pieces of cheese for dinner (friends coming round) and it cost me £20.

Twenty. Flipping. Pounds.

Still brings me out in a cold sweat. Wish I'd had the guts to say 'nah, that's too much' and walk out.

Was it nice, Scrambled?

If my in-laws said this, it would be a compliment

I've done that scrambledsmegs.

Does wonders for the house prices though and you can still buy 2 for 1 400g strong British cheddar from Sainsbury's for £5.

Orange cheese is the exact same cheese as yellow cheese with a drop of food colouring in it.

There's no bloody difference to taste, it's the same thing.

That's the kind of crap my old house mate would have said about me after I bought plastic sliced cheese for a bbq.

I don't care what anyone says it's the best cheese for a burnt burger in the drizzle aka a British bbq!

Orange cheese for cheese on toast
Orange cheese for jacket spuds
Yellow cheese for sandwiches

Anything else tastes wrong and is just odd.

I had a friend who is a total food snob.. her DS came home from a party once and was complaining he was hungry. She asked him what he'd eaten and he said 'oh just crisps, I didn't like the sandwiches'

Her response to him was 'oh, was it cheap ham?'

I was agog!!!

I went to a middle class friends house once for minute portions dinner as a child and her mum asked if we'd like a cheese sandwich when we got in and which cheese we would like because 8 year olds are cheese connoisseurs apparently. I remember proudly piping up with "orange cheeeeeeese!". Oh the look of disgust on the mothers face as she got cathedral city out the fridge for us. I think she meant the maturity of the cheese. Even half price cathedral city is out of my price range

I'm with EatShitDerek - Orange is definitely better.

Abso-fucking-lutely Derek!

I buy my cheese from John Lewis Food Hall. If you aren't fussy and buy whatever's on offer, in the mature cheddar section, you can get a kilo for around £10, which works out much cheaper than cheap cheese from Tesco (and it's nicer).

Oooh, I do love SistersofPercy's for her Fathers Day suggestion. She is an evil genius.

Derek how do you contain yourself? I can't buy grated because I'd sit and eat the lot. Block cheese is safer for me

Cheese is one of the most commonly shoplifted food items - so not surprised you err on the sensible side especially for cheese on toast YANBU.

If you buy those luminous orange processed cheese slices and use them for cheese on toast, they go black on top and underneath is a molten lava of cheese goo which welds to the roof of your mouth. They are amazing, - that's something you just can't do with expensive cheese

Sisters I love that cheese board idea. It's inspired!
