AIBU about ham, or is DH

Our marriage is very troubled at the moment, new baby, sleep deprived, yada yada.

We've been having a lot of arguments lately, some the same old stuff, some new old stuff I can deal with, new stuff is hard, as it involves my family. In particular my dad, who is extremely annoying and needy, finding himself dumped by his partner and post surgery, so been spending more time with him lately, a few issues has cropped up with DH about this but have kind of dealt with it.

Now, back to the ham

Today, DH text me while he was at work and I was looking after DD1 and DD2 asking if I was going to Aldi over weekend,can I get him some ham trim,mayo, apples and "Best of both" bread.

I go to Aldi as I need to pick up a few bits for my dad who is unable to go shopping g at the moment,picked up a few bits for our upcoming holiday, then picked-up the bits DH wanted.

Just sat down after getting DDs to bed and this is the conversation:

DH "did u look at that ham when you bought it?" (I'm sensing a tone here too)

Me "yeh why, is it out of date?"

DH "it's not ham trimmings (it is) it's six thick pieces of ham, it's inedible,unusable why didn't you look at it when you bought it"

Me "are you for real? I had both squirming DDs in the trolley and your having a go for not looking at the ham?"

DH "I've now got to go out tomorrow and get ham and I didn't want to just because you couldn't be arsed to look at it"

We are now not talking!?
A bit stunned to be honest.

AIBu to not check a pack of ham trim before putting it in the trolley? Ham trim does come in all different shapes and sizes to be fair but come on?!

Ham trim sounds like the leftover bits you'd give to the dog...but I don't eat ham. 🤷🏻‍♀️

IMO, the best ham at Aldi is the Tewkesbury mustard ham, 1.49.

We also buy their UK corned beef, and the slightly dearer Wiltshire ham, (but never the think cut one).

I would never pay less than £1/quarter for ham (100gms to youngsters), unless it was reduced/selloff - ie originally costing more than £1. £1 is my cut off point at the moment.

But the point is that this ham is artificially cheap for the quality because it comes in scrappy bits not nice neat slices. Not great for sliced bread sandwiches, but fine for pasta, omelettes, pies, wraps, salads or sandwich filling if you chop the ham up and mix it with egg or grated cheese for example.
