AIBU to tell DH I’ve decided not to buy cheese and biscuits this year

[WeeMadArthur]

Because there is always so much food around at Christmas ( thanks to MiLs very generous Christmas and Boxing Day spreads which provide us with leftovers for days and we always end up stuffing ourselves) only to weaken going past all the lovely cheeses in the supermarket and end up having a shelf full of cheese in the fridge?

I wish I could help myself, I KNOW that we will all eat far too much over the Christmas period and at some point we will look at each other and agree we shouldn’t have bought the cheese and biscuits. I manage to survive on just cheddar the rest of the year so why do I feel an uncontrollable need to have at least five different cheeses in the fridge at a time when we also have the most food, cake and nibbles around?

You surely don't mean you've bought the Christmas cheese, it's still 6 days away. You have bought cheese.

Doing my first cheese board this year (don't give me evil eyes), I love cheese, we all love cheese just never crossed my mind
So a question
dh wants camembert, I don't think anyone will like it but if I bake it and he likes it but doesn't eat it all, is that it done? one use only?

Got to have cheese and crackers for chrimbo!

My OH sulks if we run out of cheddar and would probably leave me if there wasn’t cheese for Christmas!

Don't be daft. Highly unreasonable not to have cheese.

I am going to be buying a shed load of onions and making caramelised onion chutney to go with ours.

How do you do that then?

shocking shocked to the core you have to buy one those big boxes of biscuits and leave all the digestives of course as for cheese more the better

You have to have cheese. Especially stilton. Just buy less of it.

You need to match the biscuit to the cheese

I have already started on our Christmas cheese 🧀 (5 different ones from Waitrose) and am going to need to restock!

Biscuit matching ?

Thank goodness you asked Mumsnet! Christmas is saved.

Now about those cheeses with fruit in I love cheese and I love dried fruit but somehow they just don't work mushed up together.

You're a monster.

Fun fact: January is the most common month for divorce.

Another fun fact: your husband will divorce you in january if you don't buy cheese and crackers.. and pickles and Italian cured meats.

Christmas is for nibbles!

Of course you match the biscuits to the cheese! Crikey, cheese amateurs!

I always end up with a fridge full of cheese too and my husband is a great one for picking up supermarket bargains after Christmas. Plus we sometimes get very posh barrels and tins of cheese. It does go off eventually :-).

Unfortunately cheese is the BEST part of Christmas

I've gone cunting almost Vegan and I'm having the utter shit show of crap - SHEESE.

Totally fine day to day processed spread SHEESE but at Christmas I want the crack cocaine of Stilton, cheddar, Comte de whatever the fuck it's called.

Fuck veganism

Vegan ‘cheese’ is nasty. The cottage ‘cheese’ is almost bearable.

Buy cheese while you can! There will be no more cheese after Brexit (is the excuse that I will use when buying lots of cheese).

But what will you eat when you are no where near actually hungry and too full for a roast dinner sandwich if there is no cheese and biscuits ...

I think this is one of the saddest things I have ever read on mumsnet the internet.

YABU!

Unacceptable. Buy the cheese.

So now I know who eats all the Double-deckers! We can't stand 'em and have always wondered who actually likes them! It's Mr/Mrs/Ms... WeeMadArthur
