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 ??!

Ice cream is fair game for everyone. You snooze, you lose.

Sparklfairy · 04/12/2019 05:18

Vanilla is the best anyway

Vanilla is not a flavour. It's an admission of defeat.

Depends, a vanilla ice cream made with double cream and vanilla pod is a thing of beauty.

The tubs of yellow foam that you can get made with artificial flavour are vile.

Lying here just recovering from a 3day winter vomiting bug and could just about murder a peach melba ice cream... And a jaffa cake muffin as well come to think of it...

IwantedtobeEmmaPeel · 04/12/2019 06:32

Jaffa Cake donuts!! Do such things really exist?

He shouldn't have bought a flavour he didn't like. Perhaps you should have asked before eating all of the ice cream .....?

lotusbell · 04/12/2019 06:48

Where can I buy peach melba icecream? We have a fantastic ice cream parlour near us that do something similar but I've never seen it in supermarkets.

FoamingAtTheUterus · 04/12/2019 06:52

IWanted they do indeed exist, Morrisons sell them.

And banana ice cream is rank. Vanilla ice is acceptable only if it's Mr whippy.

And he got his revenge as the owner of the only working phone charger in the house 😑

Martha's chill out. Mumsnet is made up of twee shite. If I want to add to it, I will do. 💁🏻‍♀️

lotusbell I think it was from one of those cheap freezer shops. Either heron foods or farm foods. It's a carte d'or one .........you aren't missing much Envy

On the subject of freezer shops one does a fab, apple strudel ice cream. It's some obscure brand but really good.

Jaffa cake doughnuts? The man is a heathen and you should leave him, regardless of ice cream-gate.

ScreamingValenta · 04/12/2019 07:18

Just buy some more strawberry flavour. It isn't as though the peach flavour will go off in the freezer and sooner or later someone will fancy eating it.

sueelleker · 04/12/2019 07:24

I don't know why Salted Caramel is such a thing-it's everywhere at the moment.

WitsEnding · 04/12/2019 07:25

YAB equally U for making pancakes and not eating any.

SoftBlocks · 04/12/2019 07:34

Peach Melba ice cream sounds amazing. I want some.

NearlyGranny · 04/12/2019 07:41

Mango is the best ice-cream flavour, but home churned. Mangoes are ripe here ATM and deliciously dribbly. Alone they can give off the faintest cabbagey whiff, but made into ice-cream they are perfection.

supersop60 · 04/12/2019 07:42

Slightly off track - There's a legend? myth? about Dame Nellie Melba that she used to perform oral sex on a member of stage crew before she sang, so that she could be 'lubricated'.
Who buys stuff they don't like and then gets upset when other people don't eat it? my DP, that's who

Vanilla is my favourite flavour, you monster!

I love Peach Melba, having it as solely icecream though makes me dubious..

Sparklfairy · 04/12/2019 11:44

Sorry posterDamntheman Grin

Personally I'm a fan of pistachio, peanut butter or coffee but I am admittedly a weirdo

Sparklfairy · 04/12/2019 11:44

Why did it put 'posterDamntheman'?! I mean @Damntheman

AryaStarkWolf · 04/12/2019 11:47

Of course he's BU, unless you told him you loved Peach melba why would he buy a flavour he didn't like?

Chinainmyhand · 04/12/2019 11:54

I love twee stuff like this, a break from the misery.

Does DD like Peach Melba? I like the thought of Peach Melba even less now I know why it's so named, can never get on with things like this. For example, strawberry ice cream, I know it will have strawberries in it. Peach Melba, i know it will have peaches and... Bits of Nelly in it Envy (not envy)

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 04/12/2019 11:57

probably via Morrisons so he can scoff a bag of Jaffa cake donuts

I have been hunting these like a thing demented. I have been unsuccessful. I am jealous of your husband and as such will happily proclaim him VVVVVVU as long as you pay me with a bag of them.

blackteasplease · 04/12/2019 12:02

I like peach Melba and not strawberry.

However I still think yanbu because he can’t buy one that he doesn’t like and demand that you eat that one.
