My friend thinks my husband should divorce me

[AintNobodyHereButUsChickens]

... For doing this to a block of cheese For some reason my DH gets really wound up when people (usually DD) grate the cheese from the 'wrong' end (ie, an end that isn't already grated). Earlier, I was grating cheese for tea and I had a lightbulb moment and grated every possible end, edge, side, corner and angle on the block of cheese

My friend is horrified and thinks DH should divorce me for so much wrongness

Obviously lighthearted

I think he should value your creativeness!! My son likes to use the ape corer on the cheese block...just putting it out there!

He deserves it for such bad taste in cheese!!

That is obviously an apple corer an ape corer would be a step too far!

I would probably do this for a laugh too

I would do it differently every week. Next week grate it all the week after cut it diagonally and grate a side x2.

Take a really good photo and enter it into next years Turner prize.

Your bound to win!

I always grate all sides and round the corners, no one has ever given 2 shites here. Cheese snobs hey! 😁

I'd divorce you because you put the cheese on top of the outside of the packet

I”d marry you for that👍😆

You need to at least bite the corners off first

Loving the textures here, op! If he doesn’t like it then ltb!

OP this would be the end of US for me.

This is a thing of absolute beauty. If he does divorce you maybe you'll marry me instead??

Although, you should have displayed it proudly on a plate, not just on the wrapper.

Awesome.

And I know what I'm talking about. Obviously.

That would totally confuse my dh. I might just nick that idea....

I would never ever ever put cheese I was going to put in my mouth on the outer wrapper! The wrapper that has been through the machines in the factory, packed in boxes, dropped on the factory floor?, put by hand on supermarket shelves, been picked up and replaced by various shoppers, possibly dropped on the supermarket floor.
The grating is not an issue in comparison. In fact it looks like a sculpture with tactile qualities.

I always do this with the cheese. TBH I'd probably just grate one end, but we never seem to get through a block quickly enough. Grating the entire outside off definitely helps with its shelf life. DH looks at me funny though, & tells me I'm weird.

Is there not some sort of rehabilitation programme you can do?

It’s giving me palpitations just looking at it 😂

I have to cut a slice off the grated side to make it flat because I like it smooth ~and really because I bloody love cheese~ I would have to eat the whole block so this didn’t affront my eyes. Shame.

What fun darling and thanks for bringing laughter and non stop grinning

10 out of 10 for ingenious piss taking

faints

😱

That’s almost as bad as this!

I don’t mind the grating marks but would be horrified if you touched it with your bare hands! As a PP said skin should not touch cheese! It takes me back to my first Saturday job at a small deli (many years ago...) During our introduction we were made to thorough wash our hands and then handled a small piece of cheese each. Wrap it and put it in the staff fridge (separate from the customers stuff!) We came back the following week to be able to see our fingerprints clearly visible in mould where we had touched the cheese. Even though we had thorough washed. The oils in your skin which replace quickly after washing are enough to give a hold for bacteria. I have never touched a piece of cheese since with skin! Always carefully use the wrapper to hold it whilst cutting or grating etc - yuk!

it would go to waste before I managed to eat it all - sorry, I don't understand that statement . Cheese going to waste? Surely such a thing is not possible.

My DD has this nasty habit of not cutting my lovely mature cheddar, but just breaking chunks off it. Grrrrr
