Settle a serious argument between DH and I…

[PinkponyclubOG]

A sharp or even mild cheddar does not belong on top of an authentic Lasagna..

DH is calling me fussy and that I’m turning into my bat shit mother who will only eat straight chips because I am protesting that the flavours don’t go.

It’s doesn’t even melt the same FFS.

It is not. The two phrases serve different grammatical purposes and are not interchangeable.

‘DH and I are going to cook lasagne tonight’ - ‘DH and I’ is the subject of the verb and therefore a subjective pronoun is used.
‘Settle an argument between DH and me’ - the phrase is the object of the preposition ‘between’ and therefore needs the objective pronoun ‘me’.

This. Cheese would enhance cornflakes.

Mine doesn’t cook every night which is why I would enjoy the break from it.
Of course you can tell the cook your preference but I don’t think you should be giving him directions or over looking the cooking

Ricotta and pecorino.

I’m equal opportunities when it comes to cheese. I love them all.

What I would say is that if this is a ‘serious’ argument between you, then you must have a lovely marriage

It's actually DH and me

You jest. 😅

Cheese is cheese at the end of the day, and if someone else has cooked it I’d care even less what cheese was used on top!

Proper grammar is “DH and me,” if you’re going to correct someone.

1. DH and me, in this particular instance.
2. No, cheddar is not appropriate or authentic but it's so, so goooooood. Your DH is right to use it. Not mild though, obvs.

Remember, English politeness/self effacingness (is that a word?)
dictates that the writer lists themself last in a couple or group. So, DH/DW and I are etc. Or he spoke to DB, DF and me. Most people don't bother now, but strictly speaking it's correct.

I've got an Italian language pasta recipe book and none of the ingredients in the lasagne section translate to English Cheddar cheese. The cheeses mentioned are ricotta di pecora, mozzarella di bufala and parmigiano grattugiato. So for authenticity OP is correct.

100% agree on the usage of 'I' or 'me', but was always taught that the other person should be mentioned first. Either way, we're right 😂😂

I can’t stand cheese, nor pasta nor a tomato sauce, so 🤣🤣 no good asking me

I’m with your mother. I don’t like crinkle cut chips either.

What is wrong with people, @PinkponyclubOG? I’m 100% with you. Mozzarella and parmesan only, pecorino if I fancy a bit of sharpness.

Cheddar has NO place on any self-respecting lasagna!

My DH is with your DH unfortunately…

Ughhh I’m with you OP - only mozzarella!!

We just use the grated four cheese mix, usually the entire bag

There's no grammatical reason to prefer "DH and me" over "me and DH". They're both equally correct.

I haven’t made a lasagne in ages - but I used to use a good, extra mature cheddar every time - in the bechamel and on top. The cheesier the better.

Cheddar on anything IMHO

Try Boursin in slices over the top or between the pasta sheet layers

It can be either BETWEEN DH and me or BETWEEN me and DH - doesn't matter. It just can't be "I" after between.

Surely for an authentic Italian pasta dish you should also be making your own pasta… but I’m guessing you haven’t.

If DH ever cooked a meal for me other than a toasted sandwich, I’d think I’d died and gone to heaven! 😁

You’d hate my non authentic cooking. I make a veggie lasagna as I hate meat ones (I like meat but not in a lasagna), and the béchamel is a cheese sauce in every layer containing whatever cheese I happen to have in the fridge. I also bung a mixed salad on the plate and chuck the lasagna on top of it. 😂
