In thinking well actually dp you bought the peach Melba ice cream so you should jolly well eat it ?!?!

Yesterday dp bought two tubs of ice cream to have with pancakes. 1 strawberries and cream, 1 peach Melba.

Even tho he doesn't like peaches. Or indeed Melba. Whatever the hell that is.

Anyways, we shared out around 2/3 of ice cream amongst the pancakes but I didn't have any ice cream or pancakes (( American style for anyone who cares ))

So tonight dp starts getting twitchy over the remaining ice cream in the freezer.

I informed him it was gone, down my neck to be precise. And very tasty it was too.

Apparently it was unfair to neck the ice cream entirely and I should have had half with half peach Melba. Because he doesn't like peach Melba. So that isn't fair.

I pointed out no.fucker really likes peach Melba. And thems the risks you takes when you piss about with ice cream flavours.

He's now gone off for a walk, probably via Morrisons so he can scoff a bag of Jaffa cake donuts to himself to spite me.

So who's unreasonable ? Me for scoffing all the decent ice cream or him for twatting about with ice cream flavours and expecting me to ration my pud ??!

YABU, I love peach Melba! However your DP is being an idiot and should just go and buy more ice cream

lazylinguist · 03/12/2019 21:19

You both ABU for being fussy. Peach melba is nice.

SallyLovesCheese · 03/12/2019 21:20

He IBU. Who buys an ice cream flavour they don't like? Vanilla is the best anyway

TheNameGames · 03/12/2019 21:22

Him, obviously. I can't even hack peach melba (seriously though, what is melba?) yoghurt and I would hate it in frozen form. I thought your AIBU was going to ask whether you should make him eat the entire tub of ice cream having bought it and I was set to YABU and he should just chuck it out and buy better next time but if he's moaning about you not sharing then it's his own fault really.

He bought it in case anyone else liked it.

He was being thoughtful because he knew DD was visiting for tea and I always make pancakes.

However, the fact still remains he dug his own grave with the ice cream scoop with this one.

Why does no-one Google "Peach Melba" if they don't know what it is??

Muddlingalongalone · 03/12/2019 21:28

Peach melba ice cream sounds delicious as do jaffa cake muffins.
If you didn't have anything yesterday then fair game imo

BeeFarseer · 03/12/2019 21:29

Hang on, I think the peach melba might be a red herring.

You shared out the strawberry ice cream with the pancakes, but you didn't have any ice cream at that point.

You later had your share of the strawberry ice cream, separately.

So, everyone has had a fair share of strawberry ice cream and yet your DH is moaning?

In fairness it was a rather generous portion of ice cream.......however the fact still remains I had no pudding yesterday.

This is a hill that's worth dying melting on imo.

I wouldn’t eat all of the pudding that DH liked, leaving him without a pudding. I think that’s quite mean.

But ice cream, peaches, raspberry, I mean it wouldn’t be anyone’s first choice, but it’s a funny thing to absolutely dislike.

Don't need to, don't want to, don't like it.

ZacharyQuack · 04/12/2019 02:44

You could use up the peach melba ice cream in smoothies. As we found out when DH bought mango ice cream. Great as a fruit, bleh as an ice cream, OK in a smoothie.

ZacharyQuack · 04/12/2019 02:45

Otherwise he has to eat it. You're right, he's scooped his own grave.

MLMsuperfan · 04/12/2019 03:08

Strawberry ice cream is rank.

PyongyangKipperbang · 04/12/2019 03:13

I know what (or rather, who) Melba is [smug]

BillHadersNewWife · 04/12/2019 03:34

My DH always buys shit or weird icecream too. He once got some Caramel Salt icecream and it basically tasted of salt! What the makers had done was made salty icecream with bits of caramel in it! AWFUL!

puds11 · 04/12/2019 03:42

Ice cream is rank @MLMsuperfan Grin

He is BU. Both ice creams were to share, not your fault you don’t like peach melba (didn’t know that was an ice cream flavour). Surely you’d have chocolate with pancakes?

"Peach Melba is a dessert of peaches and raspberry sauce with vanilla ice cream. It was invented in 1892 or 1893 by the French chef Auguste Escoffier at the Savoy Hotel, London, to honor the Australian soprano Nellie Melba". wikipedia

maras2 · 04/12/2019 03:42

Named after some old Aussie singer called Nellie, I think. Xmas Wink

Oops. Too late.

Creepster · 04/12/2019 03:58

He had his share yesterday greedy gut.

NameChangedNoImagination · 04/12/2019 04:24

Peach Melba ice cream? Jesus wept.

MarthasGinYard · 04/12/2019 04:27

Yabu for posting such twee shite

mathanxiety · 04/12/2019 04:39

YABU to serve ice cream with pancakes.

American pancakes need maple syrup and butter.

hushnowthanks · 04/12/2019 05:00

Not sure I could spend the rest of my life with someone who:

  1. Buys Peach Melba ice cream
  2. Imposes said flavours of ice cream onto myself

The only acceptable fruity ice cream flavour is banana.
This is gaslighting. You must LTB.
