To find my husband eating cheesestrings

[Willywonkamum]

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.

Love a babybel - must be room temperature though. Also petit filous. There are many worse things!

They are really very close to mozzarella

Yeh close to but no cigar. They’ve really fucked up badly if they have to go to such great lengths to correct people that their completely tasteless, weirdly textured product is actually plain old harmless cheese, rather than the industrial byproduct it appears to be.

You got it @Sparklingbrook

If you have ever made mozzarella, you should have a go at cheese strings. Warning, burnt fingers are always involved.

I've literally just had a cheese and potato waffle sandwich for dinner

My DS lives about 3 miles from Chorleywood so I'll think of bread every time I see the sign post now. The process doesn't seem too terrible and I do like a slice of orange Warburtons every now and again...

My DP eats wagon wheels every day we always have at least 2 packs for him in the cupboard at any one time 🤣
I had to sit in the car with him for 2 hours the other day whilst he was chewing hubba bubba which was driving me INSANE. Everytime he blew a bubble I wanted to punch him in the face.

I like cheese strings and love laughing cow dippers but strangely can't stand the dairylea ones- my partner loves them though. We don't have any kids yet and I never really thought of them as kids food to be honesty. My mum likes the organix toddler bars which I do find a bit odd but she does have lots of food intolerances and can tolerate those when she can't most cereal type bars so I guess that makes sense.

Following my gastric bypass, cheesestrings were the only thing I could eat for about 2 months after the soft phase hahaha

I quite like a Wagon Wheel but the chocolate drops off all over the place. I am also partial to a Gold Bar and a Pink and White though.

My go-to comfort lunch used to be spaghetti hoops on toast, but they’ve changed the recipe of the sauce, and now it’s bland and tasteless.

I think that's why he puts peanut butter on the toast first.

Either that or he still hasn't got his head around the idea that he's a 44 year bald man living in a nice house, rather than a pasty faced Goth living in a Canterbury shithole and missing lectures to play pool at the pub opposite.

[Looks at spare room with guitars and posters and figurines and an ancient leopard print duvet cover, littered either mugs, plates and snack packets]

It's the latter.

Is he a good husband, a good man? If so I'd get over it if I were you. There are bigger things to worry about in life, we can't all like the same thing. Is there a written rule that says cheese strings are for toddlers only? My husband is 57 but still loves food that his late mum used to cook when he was a little boy & my cooking sometimes just doesn't compare (she was a very good cook in her day) I don't get wound up about it.

I love fancy cheese.

...I also love cheese strings, babybels, and dairylea dunkers. And those Cadbury chocolate yoghurts with the chocolate pieces on the side.

Not me who bought 8 cheese strings today and 8 two days ago. They are one of my favorite things

Absolutely! Room temp always, I keep them in the fridge and when I want one stick it in my back pocket for 20 mins before eating lol.

Years ago when I first joined Mumsnet you would have been ripped apart for admitting to feeding children any of this - I mentioned fruit shoots and I'm surprised social services didn't swoop in - but you are my people this food is the best!
Kids are 18 16 and 10 now but still buy all this stuff and it's never wasted ( see the food waste thread!) and nothing better than after several gins than Pom bears and babybel!!

I like to get a pack of Dairylea triangles, peel off the foil and eat the triangles as they are, all in one go. They used to do chunky triangles, not sure if they still do those? I especially like peeling the little red string first.

A Dairylea triangle between two Cheddars is good.

im saying, in my opinion, that taste like plastic. How much plastic have you eaten?! And what does it taste like?!

I love pom bears. So does my 19mo. We often share a packet 🙂

[quote Almostmenopausal]@SpookyPumpkinPants You wouldn't give mozzarella cheese to a toddler?!?! There's no dodgy chemicals added, it's just a type of mozzarella! 😆😆😆😆[/quote]
It's tasteless & rubbery, so no.

I'd give them fresh mozzarella, of corse I would.

Lol. Course

Surely you be trolling

YABU how cheese strings are amazing and baby bells and those Cadbury yogurts your being unreasonable stop blaming him there amazing

I love all of the above, I don't consider them children only foods. I also love those kinder Hippos.

Some of these posters acting like everyone's slinging back cow and gate baby food jars on the regular
