Plastic cheese in an omelette

It's the only cheese in the house. AIBU?
I would like to add the cheese was purchased by someone else and I forgot to buy naice cheese when I went shopping earlier.

Left over chips? Hmm Is that a new thing now?

HerRoyalFattyness · 30/11/2016 18:12

What you want is fried egg on toast, woth the plastic cheese melted over the egg. Mmmmm

TobleroneBoo · 30/11/2016 18:18

Oh, sorry! Plastic cheese!

And I used to reheat the omelette at work, wasn't half bad

BarbaraofSeville · 30/11/2016 18:24

Allalonenow I said the portion was very large. I once weighed my chips from the chip shop, because I had read this and was interested in the size of my portion of chips.

I think they were 14 oz, so about 800 calories in the chips alone. Add in about another 400 for the fish and you have a very large 1200 calorie meal, which I am full before I have eaten all of.

So when I have fish and chips I usually eat the fish and some of the chips and save the rest of the chips for another meal, when I often make a chip omelette, which I enjoy very much.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 30/11/2016 18:25

You made an ordinary omelette, i.e. just eggs, not a tortilla type, and reheated it in a microwave with plastic cheese? Shock

Blimey! You'd have loved it at UCL Students' Union in the early 80s. Toblerone! Do you keep these precooked omelettes in the freezer till you want one? That's what they did. Grin

BarbaraofSeville · 30/11/2016 18:32

Lots of pubs and places like little chef and supermarket cafes serve frozen omelettes Gasp.

People report being able to buy omelettes but not fried eggs on toast, 'because the place has run out of eggs'.

I can't see how it is quicker to microwave a frozen omelette than it is to cook one from fresh, but apparently it's to ensure that it always tastes a bit crap product consistency and may be a little less labour intensive in a busy kitchen.

OohhItsNotHoxton · 30/11/2016 18:33

I wish I'd never started this Fred.
Left over chips is a concept I can't cope with. Despite clicking Barbara's link.

Can you all please get us back on track. What shall I do for my tea? A plain mushroom omelette? Egg and chips with no beans? Scrambled eggs?

An egg sandwich. With tomato sauce.......

WAIT! I might have some bacon.
Would that go with a mushroom, bacon and plastic cheese omelette?
Or would it be a bit dry?

Pffft, thanks to this frankly ridiculous thread I've just had the following for tea
One beefburger
Two potato waffles
3 tablespoons of spaghetti oops
A fried egg (on top of the burger)
A slice of bread and butter (proper butter)
Mug of tea
Brown sauce.
It was bleedin lovely.

Gosh I loves a bit of plastic cheese, when I was a kid you could buy it in blocks from the asda deli counter, it was amazing and was labelled "processed cheese"

In case you think I am a total
Cheese ignoramus, I love all cheese from every country and the smellier the better, but I also like plastic cheese. I would have the omelette with the cheese only to appreciate the taste and gooiness and a nice salad.

OohhItsNotHoxton · 30/11/2016 18:41

I need that sort of confidence.

A bacon egg and plastic cheese omelette with botulism spaghetti hoops. It's a no brainer OP.

OohhItsNotHoxton · 30/11/2016 18:45

Plums So no mushrooms then?
Sorry I messed up the maddie in last post.

OP posts:
OohhItsNotHoxton · 30/11/2016 18:47

There's no such thing as an egg omelette ffs!
An omelette is eggs innit. You can't have an egg omelette. An omelette is always eggs.

BusterGonad · 30/11/2016 18:49

Yes you are right OP, my mistake, I just got carried away with the excitement of it all. I need a cup of sugary tea to calm myself down with.

BarbaraofSeville · 30/11/2016 18:50

Plum until not very long ago, our Asda had an aisle dedicated to 'foreign food' The most exotic thing it stocked was jars of Homepride curry sauce.

tshirtsuntan · 30/11/2016 18:53

Just go to the chippie...get us a mince and onion pie? (I'll "share" your chips Grin ).

OohhItsNotHoxton · 30/11/2016 19:06

OohhItsNotHoxton · 30/11/2016 19:17

WindInThePussyWillows · 30/11/2016 20:11

We got KFC, I had a Burrito with no cheese because who the fuck wants plastic cheese in their dinner.

OohhItsNotHoxton · 30/11/2016 20:45

I couldn't do it. I'm waiting for a Chinese delivery. I somehow feel I've failed.

WindInThePussyWillows · 30/11/2016 20:58

I just found a cheese slice in the fridge!? I was checking for omelette ingredients for tomorrow and there is was. No one in the house will touch it let alone eat it, is it yours OP?

It looks very like mine Wind. Hang on while I check...

OP posts:
OohhItsNotHoxton · 30/11/2016 22:02

Omg.
Upon preparing the plastic cheese for a photo for comparison with Winds plastic cheese purposes I happened to discover a slice of previously hidden mozzarella.
If I'd only looked harder this entire Fred could have never been.
