My DH says it is unreasonable as 3-4 should be sufficient - I say he is BU - Mumsnet jury return the verdict please

You can never have too many types of cheese. Your DH is BU.

Can I come round? I have pickle.

You are not BU. You may be my new best friend Grin

As long as none goes to waste who cares? The more the better I say!

You can never have too much cheese. He is being ridiculous.

I just need more money to be able to afford more (nice) cheese....

Only 7?

You are just not trying.

Do you eat them all?
If not, remove his choices from the shopping list and see how he feels. Smile
We have loads of different sorts, bought weekly and eaten by different members of the house. Rather like our bread situation.

7?

Am very Envy that you can eat cheese, I can't. Although actually, the only taste I had of cheese made me think it was disgusting (and then I ended up in the doctor's so it kind of made the experience worse...)

I have 6 types of chocolate spread.

Haha! I knew I wasn't BU - DH has the hump as he was sure he was right - he said to say that he and the girls only eat 3 types - the others are mine (he is still BU isn't he??!!)

He also just said food shouldn't be used for pleasure - should I LTB!!

We probably have about 6 at the moment. Some frankly a bit crap (DS1 loves Dairylea slices Hmm) but some are the real thing - stilton and nice cheddar.

YANBU and I don't much like cheese unless it is melted or soft cheese flavoured with garlic or chilli. I really don't like the texture of cheese except for those.

YABU though, if don't eat them as a family

I've only got 3 (not done the shopping yet), so I now have cheese envy Envy
Personally I think it's unreasonable to expect you to be able to function on 3 varieties or less. Oh, and food is most definitely for pleasure (as well as keeping you alive and stuff). I suggest you only give your DH stuff he hates and inform him that since he believes food is not for pleasure he can only eat things that give him no joy whatsoever. That'll teach him Grin

Why is he grumpy?
Are you buying gigantic blocks that hog the fridge? In which case, the answer is to acquire another fridge.

smoked applewood
wensleydale
manchego
pie d'angloyes
something odd and squishy and French (OH)
slipcote with basil
peppered goat's cheese
cheddar
halloumi
paneer
philly
cottage cheese
feta

ahhh. Um. Good thing he's not living with us then. Grin

Looking at those lists and thinking, "Good Heavens! No mould-ripened or blue-veined cheeses?"

'Tis the mark of an elegant cheeseboard to have those. What will the neighbours think?" Grin

Agh! Wasn't fast enough. Clearly Eyes' cheeseboard is the height of sophistication

Ooh I've just counted 7 in ours as well.

Three of those are dairylea slices, cheesestrings and laughing cow triangles. Does that still count?

I'll bring some pears and port!

It is never U to have all that lovely cheese!

I'd refuse to share with him for such insolence Grin

This is an Aspie household (except me}
No blue cheese or mold of any sort possible, due to sensory issues and general ranting.

Don't start that. We have a lot of varieties of port too.
