"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?

[TheHumblePotato]

Meryn I think you'll find gherkins and pickles are foods of the gods so no need to do the strikethrough unless of course we are both heathens

I buy Cathedral city or that Red Leicester. Not a foodie in the slightest but we all manage somehow in Potato household.

She builds cheap cheese, in the cheese aisle?

[knackered69]

I buy special offer cheese too !! Whatever extra mature is on special offer it goes in the basket

I just love cheese - I don't much like chocolate sweets and cakes etc but could happily eat my own body weight in cheese

I bought some stinky bishop at a market stall a few weeks ago .. Wrapped in paper slung it in the passenger seat then went to morrisons .. .. .. By the time I got back the smell was so strong it was setting the car alarm off .. It was lovely !!

pmsl OP - ex's can be such twats

my ex's partner once went mental because I was feeding them shit (aldi meat) and she only fed them ORGANIC meat from WAITROSE

it became a standing joke in our house - the kids would ask, in a Margo voice 'ohhh mummy I do hope that wine/bread/bowl of coco pops/baked spud' is organic ...from Waitrose - only the best for us you rubbish mum

Ex got wind of it and now he joins in (if he turns up to collect them during dinner) but then he always was a disloyal bastard

[Luckystar82]

He is obviously scarred by years of eating cheap cheese! I think cheap cheese is OK - it's still made of the same stuff and is good honest food. But cheap ham is a different story!

[TheDietStartsTomorrow]

How dare he insult your cheese buying!???

I was going to say LTB but realised you already have.

[DowntownFunk]

Say "cheese snob" quickly a few times.

That's your EH, that is.

As a teen from a poor family I was invited to stay with a better off friend, who peered into their fridge and said " mmm, lychees! Do you like lychees?" And I said " I dont really like any kind of cheese". Cue much hilarity as they all thought it was a very witty response. Took me ages to figure out what was so funny!

[TheHumblePotato]

Lucky , ghosty I've been in the exact same situation as OP only it was over cheap muesli or cereal & milk or yoghurt. He was an absolute twat! I really couldn't give a rats arse over it. As you say exes will find any way to intrude and impose their unreasonable ways to try to maintain some control.

[PiperIsTerrysChoclateOrange]

Cheap cheese is my week to week stuff.

I only go all out if I have a cheese board.

[stoopstoconker]

stinkingbishop admit it. you were drawn here by the mention of cheese.

[Shallishanti]

tis very true that cheese is often shoplifted (I know from courtwatch in our local paper)- that will be why I found SECURITY TAGGED cheese in our local tesco. I would show you all a photo but it's on my phone and beyond my IT skills

[Catsize]

Given hi reaction. thEvfea I reckon he said 'sheep cheese' and this whole thread is a hole short of an Emmental.

[Catsize]

What happened there?? Start again.. 'Given his reaction, I reckon he said' etc.

[Heebiejeebie]

Is your ex that well-known ex-Blur cheese bore, Alex James?

[DameDoom]

I cannot and will not buy cheap cheese - however and, probs much worse, I love proper cheap sausages and value crabsticks.

[SchroSawMargeryDaw]

I don't really care about the price or colour of cheese, if it resembles cheese (cottage cheese doesn't count, it doesn't look, smell or taste like cheese) I'll probably eat it... Unless it has fruit, ginger or any other weirdness added to it, that's just wrong.

[SistersofPercy]

I confess I'm not really a fan of cheese (or wine) so when DS left home a few years ago I automatically kept buying the same amount of cheese I'd always bought and ended up with the equivalent of the EU cheese mountain in my fridge.

Transpired nobody really ate much cheese other than DS. Saved me a fiver a week though

[SchroSawMargeryDaw]

Sisters I was living with family until not too long ago and there was constant complaints about me taking up half of the huge fridge with cheese... Now I'm not there the fridge is pretty much empty. :o

[flora717]

Stickleton or most things blue / goaty for me.
I am very proud of my 2 DD's love of cheese. They have horrified many a school friend with their delicious mouldy milk snacks. Though school have asked me to curb the stinkier stuff.

[FergalSharkeysfloppyfringe]

I'm with your ex and his dislike of cheap cheese OP. Give me Cornish Cruncher with its lovely salt crystals which take the lining off your mouth. Delicious. And what the hell, we don't need that much skin in our mouth, surely?

[butterflyballs]

I love cheese, cheap or otherwise. Asda do a brick sized block for about four quid.

Perfect for cheesy hammy eggy.

[100redballoons]

If you can't afford to buy expensive cheese Alchemist he clearly needs to increase the maintenance

[PreemptiveSalvageEngineer]

Ooh, 100redballiins is onto something there...

I'm not sure if SistersofPercy 's confession has cured my girl crush, or added to her perfections, leaving all da cheez for those who have the greater need... Still pondering.

[Mrsstarlord]

We talk about plastic cheese in our house

It's the stuff you put on a burger, we buy it though so it's not a snobby thing - god I hope no one thinks we're stuck up because of that!!
