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?

Already commented earlier about how mine would do the same, and he's just done it! Haven't even discussed this thread or anything, he clearly thinks suitable accompaniment to bread and butter pudding is mint choc chip ice-cream.... What is going on with them?! 🤨

Something must be in the water!

Update... I went to the shop to get custard for the apple pie and lo and behold, DH wanted that with his rather than his frozen toothpaste monstrosity.

Quite right. Though he could have had both with the pie.

I mean...anything but mint!! Good God.

Mind you, I once caught my DH stirring pesto into his porridge and I didn't LTB, so I can't really say much!

I like porridge (black pepper and maple for me) but adding pesto? That's obscene.

Two options - divorce or homicide!!

🤣🤣🤣

I think it sounds very refreshing. The pie would need to be cold though!

Goldbar · 24/07/2022 23:08

It's a shame he lacks the courage of his convictions. He may as well own his choices.

I'd LTB for that alone 😁.

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

🤮

I love savoury porridge, I put all sorts in it. Bouillon is lovely in porridge. I must try pesto one day.

And the best ice cream I've had with apple pie is salted caramel. He should have at least tried the mint though, I reckon it would taste like one of those weird body washes.

FFS, hiding the thread. You people ought to be ashamed.

RoseDog · 24/07/2022 23:33

My dp panics in these situations he would have got the Apple pie then got posh fresh custard, he likes that, ambrosia for me as I don't like the posh stuff, double cream and vanilla ice cream just incase!

lioncitygirl · 24/07/2022 23:34

That’s the only ice cream I eat 😂😂

AndAnotherTwo · 24/07/2022 23:36

You have the tart and make him have the mint ice cream. Don't send him out again. I'm sure he'll return with mint chocolates and then unfortunately you will have to leave him.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 24/07/2022 23:38

It’s a bit mad so I voted yanbu but tbh I’d probably eat it! My kids would look at him like he’d lost his mind though.

RicherThanYew · 26/07/2022 21:35

@PortalooSunset @diddl I'm in Wales and the ice cream was made locally by a little independent company, I'm sorry! It's nice ice cream but why with apple pie?!?
