to suggest that half a baguette is enough?

[CoralFish]

Preparing a super-healthy (not really) lunch for me and DP of pork pie, cheddar cheese and that bread that comes part baked from the supermarket.

I comment that the bread is packaged as two small baguettes together, so I will have to freeze one once opened. DP says he "could have" a whole baguette. I ask him if he really wants a whole one - we normally share one. He says the same thing again. I read out the suggested serving and calories and say if he really wants a whole one I can freeze half of one, as I definitely don't. He goes off in a huff because I have apparently called him greedy and he only wants half. I cook one baguette.

My point is that at no point did he say he wanted a whole one just that he "could have" a whole one. I thought this was just a suggestion to make it easier wrt freezing.

Me checking the suggested portion size and calories was for myself. I concluded I did not want a whole one, so him having one would make no difference to ease of storage. Admittedly I did not explicitly state this, and I did not need to read it aloud to him, but I was labouring under the misapprehension that he was making a suggestion to try to make things easier, not that he actually wanted a whole one. I did not at any point use the word greedy or mean to imply it.

Was the whole thing just a misunderstanding on both our parts (and he should at the very least snap out of his huff), or am I being unreasonable and should apologise for 'calling him greedy'?

Why did you discuss the calories with him after he said he'd like a whole one? Does he have weight/health issues? I'm curious, because that's the only situation that I can think of, which would justify you mentioning the calories to him.
If none of this is the case, then why on earth didn't you just give him a whole baguette? Poor fella was probably just really peckish.

On a side note, have you ever tried a pork pie sandwich? AMAZING!

Get a nice crusty bread roll (or baguette!), slather the insides with chutney, slice a pork pie and put it in. Add salad if you'd like/you're pretending this is any way healthy.

Thank me later!

I can't even be bothered to read the whole thread, it's so ridiculous. Just cook two baguettes, let him have what he wants, you have what you want, and stick the rest in the bread bin for later. Who on earth freezes half a part baked baguette?

However, I've read your updates and know you intended to apologise so all is well but really, don't sweat the small stuff.

I don't eat pork, but now I want to. I think you have won the thread with your porkpie ideas, @PorkPieForStarters. Surely the starving hubby will be sated with the pork/pastry/bread ensemble?

If not, there is no hope for us.

I've actually never tried it with other sorts of meat pie, can't see why it wouldn't work with game pie or anything else similar - there's a challenge for you!

Food policing. You sound like my mum.

come on op!really?

Oh my, we eat well here and even though I am small I could make a dent in a small baguette myself. The men in my family would eat at least a whole one. I also cannot bear being told what I can and cannot eat
