To find my husband eating cheesestrings

What does your DH eat that is really annoying? Mine buys and eats cheesestrings for some reason really winds me up. It’s not like he peels them into strings and waves them in my face, it’s just that surely a 32 year old adult could just have more refined taste than that?! He also loves those little petit filous yoghurts..do your DHs also eat toddler food- or just my man child. Not sure why it bugs me so much.

Oooh I love Cheese Strings. Grin I also like a Babybel.

DH likes those Cadbury desserts where you tip the Buttons/Flake in, and Sherbert Fountains, there's no hope.

YABU. Cheesestrings are amazing.

Sorry, this made me chuckle. I love cheese strings and petit filous! We grew up poor so I only ever saw other kids at school eat them. Now I can buy my own 🙂

DaisyNGO · 14/11/2021 19:46

Oh dear
I love cheestrings!

Givemeallthegin8 · 14/11/2021 19:47

My children don’t eat cheese strings or dunkers, I buy them for myself Blush

Returnoftheowl · 14/11/2021 19:47

I eat cheesestrings, they are a handy snack. I'd also be upset if my husband broadcasted my eating habits online and called me (whatever the female equivalent of) a man child is due to it.

Landof · 14/11/2021 19:48

I don't think cheese strings and petit filous are specifically for toddlers. I know loads of adults who love a cheesestring! Yabu!

Notimeforaname · 14/11/2021 19:48

Partner and I buy cheesestrings and dunkers sometimes, for ourselves...no kids.

LubaLuca · 14/11/2021 19:48

I prefer Dairylea cheese strips, but I can't knock him.

Isn't there anything along those lines that you like? You never fancy a bag of Monster Munch or some Jelly Tots?

Anycolourwilldo · 14/11/2021 19:48

I bloody love cheese strings. They're my guilty pleasure.

YouCantBeSadHoldingACupcake · 14/11/2021 19:49

I love cheese strings (I'm 35) and babybels

MeatyRvita · 14/11/2021 19:50

Yabu.
Cheesestring, babybels and peperamis are foods/snacks of the gods!
I do like more refined ‘grown up’ snacks as well but although the above are processed they are also full of protein and sometimes just hit the spot!

Sparklingbrook · 14/11/2021 19:51

Dunkers are great. But they have to be the ones with the Ritz crackers. I would have to draw the line at a Lunchable or Fridge Raider though.

TheLastLonelyBakedBean · 14/11/2021 19:52

I buy extra. I love a cheese string, mayo and pombear sandwich, followed by tinned peaches mixed with petit filous, topped with mini marshmallows and sprinkles. Or jelly and Squirty cream.

Or baby bel, dairylea everything, with a side of skips and Jaffa cakes.

Or potato waffles/alphabites/smilies with chicken whatever's and spaghetti or beans. Topped with grated cheese. Or if we don't have that, ketchup and torn up cheese strings.

I'm not a good adult Blush

Alwaysmyresponsibility · 14/11/2021 19:52

Another one here who likes cheese strings, babybels, dairylea dunkers.

I get annoyed by people who don't like cheese (irrational I know).

My mum used to buy me those petit filous yoghurts when I was about 19. I have moved onto more adult yoghurts now.

TheLastLonelyBakedBean · 14/11/2021 19:52

Also love a chicken nugget and cheese string salad. Don't knock it until you've tried it!

NadiaVulvokov · 14/11/2021 19:52

Bastard. He’ll be scoffing pepperamis next.

reallyworriedjobhunter · 14/11/2021 19:52

I have never eaten one but have about 25 in the fridge. Now I'm rather tempted!

poshme · 14/11/2021 19:53

I once had a cheesestring with a glass of port as there was no other cheese.

jetadore · 14/11/2021 19:53

Cheese strings are revolting, why not cut out the middle man and just start peeling and eating the sealant off your bathtub?

MustDust · 14/11/2021 19:53

Ooh I love a cheese string. And pepparami.

Mortifiedloostory · 14/11/2021 19:53

My DP has rather juvenile tastes in food generally. It does bother me a little as I love lots of flavour and fragrance in my food. Dp is all about the white bread, cheese, plain meats etc.

DoctorWhoTardis · 14/11/2021 19:53

YABU.

That would have to be with the famous MN 'massive salad' obviously. Grin
