Tonight we ordered a takeaway online which DH collected.

His meal came with a side of kimchi. Mine didn’t but I wanted kimchi so added it on as an extra.

DH collected the food and, when we unpacked the bag, there was only one kimchi. It was a fairly small single-serving tub.

Lighthearted and we came to a very reasonable agreement where we shared it but DH is of the opinion that as kimchi came with his meal, the tub we received was for him and therefore he did me a favour by sharing it.

I feel that he should have checked the bag and therefore any error is on him, and I’m the best wife in the world because I shared my kimchi with him.

YABU = kimchi was rightfully DH’s.
YANBU = kimchi was rightfully mine.

It's a shame you can't quote a quote but your answer of "Japan" made me laugh.

Kimchi should be shared - no?

Same Grin and the one about because it's further to tell you to fuck off from. That was my first choice for a username Envy

You wanted to eat that stuff? Perhaps you wear hessian clothes and sandals?

BTW it was his.

what kind of crazy talk is this? we make 5kg at a time (currently about every other week) and chez Brefugee it is every man for himself as far as eating it is concerned.

I don't understand how anyone is voting that it was his Kimchi..

It was totally your kimchi, and his responsibility to check the order before leaving the restaurant!

You were very kind to share YOUR kimchi.

I'd also like to add a further fuck off to the food quantity police - You have NO idea how much actual food the OP had, nor how much food is the right amount of food for the OP, nor would it be any of your business if you did know any of that. Fuck the fuck off, then fuck off a bit more then when you get there.. fuck off some more!

littleloopylou · 23/11/2020 20:00

The right thing to do was share. It wasn't just his because you had effectively ordered two but only got the one.

Marry me?

We can feed each other kimchi for the rest of our lives* together.

*And that’s likely to be a long life cos kimchi is just packed with antioxidants and vitamins.

Unfortunately BunnyMac.... I don't like kimchi..

But wait.. maybe thats perfect. You can have all the kimchi. I like inarisushi and aubergine nigiri...

Oysterbabe · 28/11/2020 12:29

I think it's his Kimchi. You both ordered a complete meal and you ordered an extra. By sharing the Kimchi you got a complete plus a bit more and he got less than 1 meal.

Wheresmykimchi · 28/11/2020 17:48

So happy this thread is still going @BunnyMacDougal

MinnieJackson · 28/11/2020 17:49

I think they put your paid for kimchi in and forgot his side.

MrsGrindah · 28/11/2020 17:59

I can’t believe there are so many posters having to Google kimchi but nobody asking what on earth obe wan Kano be or whatever it’s called is!

My favourite thing about this thread is the “whooshing” noise from so many things going straight over @AldiAisleofCrap’s head.

Misandrylovescompany · 28/11/2020 19:50

I just opened the kimchi I made last weekend because of this thread and it is POTENT (and delicious).

MinnieJackson · 29/11/2020 02:12

Actually yeah, I haven't even had it! Is it a veggie side, like seaweed? Either way they charged you for it so it's yours lol

PirateCatQueen · 29/11/2020 02:31

It’s family kimchi.

If he persists in claiming sole ownership, family kimchi can easily become marital asset kimchi.

Pickled cabbage. I learned this.

@BunnyMacDougal , my colleague had kimchi 'flavoured noodles' today. I said ahhhhhhh kimchi like some weirdo then started to tell her about this thread then backtracked in case I'm outed Grin

Right, does anyone know a decent divorce lawyer?

Tonight we had a takeaway. This time I collected it from the local chipper.

DH got a snack box (do you have those in the UK? Chips with two pieces of fried chicken in a greasy cardboard box). It came with stuffing included.
It’s a delicacy in Tokyo

I got chips and added on garlic mayo and stuffing (can tell already that I’ll be dispensing a number of “fuck offs” on the remainder of this thread).

I checked the bag and all accounted for.
The contents are:
1 snack box
1 bag of chips
1 tub of garlic mayo
1 tub of stuffing (same size as garlic mayo)
1 smaller tub of stuffing, packed under the lid of the snack box box.

I get home, go to wash my hands while DH unpacks the bag and come back to find he’s emptied the larger of the stuffings onto his plate, leaving me with the garlic and the smaller tub of stuffing. This means that I don’t have an even dispersal of stuffing and garlic mayo.

Then he feigns ignorance. “Oh, was the bigger one yours?”. Yes, of course it is you greasy stuffing-stealing gowl, it’s the same size as the garlic mayo therefore that’s the size of the sides that they give when you pay extra.

Knob.

It’s like he’s the fucking Sultan of side orders.

Ok he has lost the benefit of the doubt for the kimchi. It was yours. How’s he going to recompense you for these multiple losses?
