To think my husband has lost his mind!?

Making Sunday dinner today and DH nips to the shop to get something for dessert. A simple task you may think...

So he brings home a bag of goodies and first out is an apple pie, not bad.

What is next? Custard you may think? Cream? Even vanilla ice cream perhaps?

No... it's MINT flavoured ice cream.

Now I don't want to insult the weirdos anyone who enjoys mint ice-cream but with apple pie?! Mint and apple?

Ugh. AIBU to think DH has absolutely failed this assignment?

I actually laughed out loud reading that. You poor thing. Both individually very nice treats, together? Not chance!

safetylastday · 24/07/2022 13:35

Ltb you have no other option. You can’t come back from this..😂

ThanksAntsThants · 24/07/2022 13:36

LTB.

SuperlativeOxymoron · 24/07/2022 13:40

I mean, this is a one or the other desert. OR even better one for pudding and one for when you get peckish around 8ish 😁

Babdoc · 24/07/2022 13:42

Tell him to get in the damned kitchen and make custard, to go with the pie. Then stick the ice cream in the freezer for tomorrow.

DappledThings · 24/07/2022 13:43

We would happily eat that here!

RicherThanYew · 24/07/2022 13:43

Poor Op. My DH did similar, except he brought home Turkish delight flavour ice cream 🙄😂

BendingSpoons · 24/07/2022 13:46

Was he matching by colour?

WeAreTheHeroes · 24/07/2022 13:47

Actually I could see Turkish Delight flavour ice cream working with apple pie. But mint? Ew.

Ginisatonic · 24/07/2022 13:50

Mint ice cream doesn’t go with anything 🤮
Send him back out for custard.

savemeagin · 24/07/2022 13:53

Is he sending my DH straight back to the shop! Apple pie only belongs with extra thick double cream - nothing else!
In fairness, DH knows this about me after I once grumped he'd ruined dessert by getting custard to go with said apple pie!

missymarrk · 24/07/2022 13:56

Why are they like this?! Mine would do the exact same thing 😂

FindingANewLifePlan · 24/07/2022 13:57

That... Is dirty as fuck.

VickyEadieofThigh · 24/07/2022 14:05

Deffo LTB.

Debbiejellinksy · 24/07/2022 14:12

If my fella wasn't sat with me this very moment I'd be concerned he'd tramped his way into your house. This is exactly the nonsense he would produce.

Cervinia · 24/07/2022 14:14

Probably why I always have two little individual tubs of Ambrosia in the cupboard. You never know when you might need them.

maras2 · 24/07/2022 14:14

That's the kind of disgusting thing my DH would do.
Dirty bastard.
Actually if chocolate ice cream was available, he'd buy that too. 😬
I'd like to think it was an age thing but he's 72 now and has the same taste as he had when we were first together when he was 19. 😁

Whoactuallythinksthat · 24/07/2022 14:17

I’ve never said ltb before, but this is horrendous!
🤣🤣

MintyApple · 24/07/2022 14:18

What actually possessed his mind during this shopping trip. I do not understand the thought process of 'I know just what this apple pie needs, some toothpaste flavour ice-cream'.

Not sure who I've married tbh.

CockingASnook · 24/07/2022 14:18

Mint ice cream? Let me guess, did he grow up in the early 80s?

Opti2021 · 24/07/2022 14:19

The only dessert I love as much as apple pie is mint choc chip ice cream....but even I wouldn't eat them both together....dirty bastard! 🤣

Goldbar · 24/07/2022 14:22

That's a bit odd. Assuming this is unusual behaviour, I'd be inclined to be sympathetic and ask if anything is wrong. Has the heat got to him? Does he need to lie down in a quiet room 😁?

britneyisfree · 24/07/2022 14:26

I despise mint ice cream. I don't think I've tasted it since I was like 6 😂

cafenoirbiscuit · 24/07/2022 14:28

Serve with a jug of Pimms?

Boiledbeetle · 24/07/2022 14:29

YABU

I mean the mint ice cream is absolutely fine, I think that was a good choice.

But Apple pie? And you let him through the door? You should LTB for that.

Blghhhhhhh
