to wish dh wouldnt slice the cheese for his sarnies. or even demand i slice them

[NoahVale]

they need to be grated. he is a spendthrift

Grated cheese has no place in a sandwich

YABU

I prefer grated but I use twice as much as I would if I sliced it - just as well I am too lazy to wash up the grater but bulk freezing is already starting to lead me astray

What do they do to grated cheese though...it always seems to have a funny texture ?

Slices are the way. Potato peelers ate the way to slice cheese!

For me it has to be slices for a sandwich.

Could you buy the block then slice half thinly and grate half and leave in the fridge as a compromise to help with your budget?

We have a small food budget but it's sliced all the way here. Grated makes a huge mess and you end up with more waste.

Yes to cutting it with a vegetable peeler.

Grated cheese is cheapskate. Sliced is the only way.

Grated cheese is the Devil's own foodstuff.
Sliced is the only civilised way to have cheese in a sarnie even if it is wasteful!

Dutch cheese slicers are great. Wonder where I put mine?

if he's using too much cheese then tell him. If he eats it all in three days then he'll have to have bread and butter for the next two days.

I used to do that for the children with crisps and biscuits...buy enough to last the week and if they ate them all in two days then it was tough titties for the rest of the week. They soon learn how to self regulate.

Grated cheese is messy & creates more washing up. No thanks. I'd rather compromise elsewhere if necessary.

Bought grated cheese tastes well DD because it's coated (usually n potato starch) to stop it sticking together.

I found The Cheese slicer
showed it to DH who thinks it is great, and is going to monitor others use of it, hmm

If you have a box grater it usually has a slot on the side you can use as a slicer.

so it does

i like the idea of pre slicing/pre grating

Ready grated cheese if filth!

*is - not if (as if )
