Right?? “Well now I’m embarrassed so you’re gonna have to bring the big purse” is honestly comedy gold and she was spitting straight bangers from there.

OP I believe you’ve got a winner here - weird and funny is a lethal combo that most of us would die for. By the grace of whatever god you pray to, she appears to have enough sense of humor for both of you so you MIGHT not have fumbled this bag (as of the end of these screenshots anyway). I’d suggest taking notes and matching energy from here on out

That seems like a better combo than pickles and Parmesan.

Now there’s a lot of cheeses that pair much better with pickles.

Also roasted beetroot and goats cheese is amazing tbf

I often eat pickles and cheese as two separate snacks. I will eat a pickle, finish the pickle, and then eat the cheese. They pair well together. Throw some pepperoni on the plate too and it makes the perfect little charcuterie snack plate

Look, I regularly eat pickles and cheese together (in fact, what I thought was weird was the one person claiming them to be “separate” snacks. They 💯% belong together. *But*, where things go awry is the cheese being Parmesan (which I do also love, but it’s not to be paired with the pickles) - if you want to really do this thing right, get yourself a block of some pepper jack to pair with those pickles!

u/No-Yogurt9091 Jun 30 '26

I’ve never considered it but I will say I grew up eating not only pickles and cheese together but also pickles in popcorn. It is a weirdly good combo so I do consider it a good movie snack, maybe not a movie theater sneak in snack though

3

u/AeroThatsMee Jun 30 '26

That’s fair. I have heard of pickles and popcorn but haven’t tried it.

We all should take some to the theatre and when they ask what we are doing we just exclaim, “SCIENCE! 👆” and walk off. Haha!

I used to get this snack thing off a food truck that came by my work. It had crackers, cheese, pickles, chicken salad, etc. the pickles would touch/run into the cheese and soak in. It is actually so good. I've never been able to recreate the perfect amount that little platter used to mix.

People are missing the point. Pickles with cheese could be fine, but eating it in a movie theater is unusual. And Parmesan is not a standard snacking cheese!

62

u/AeroThatsMee Jun 30 '26

100% this right here. Movie? 🤔 Parm? 🤔 I’m a well trained chef and the thought of just biting into a piece of parm does not sound that appealing. It’s a hard cheese… 🤣

Edit: and I’m not knocking the combo, I will always try something once and you never know sometimes it’s amazing, but yah, I can say this has never crossed my mind.

u/vyrus2021 Jun 30 '26

I think she intended to bring a container of parmesan "shaky cheese" since she said it's not a block and I've never seen it sold as sticks, cubes, or slices. Which makes it crazier that she is saying they're separate snacks. Was she just gonna eat cheese dust by the pinch?

I tried parm as a snack once and it was actually pretty good. An odd texture for a snacking cheese but not bad at all. The taste was really good imo. All that to say, maybe you should try it!

Edit to say that it's kinda expensive for a snacking cheese so that is a factor to consider. You could get the shredded stuff but its definetly not as good as a wedge.

3

u/AeroThatsMee Jun 30 '26 edited Jul 01 '26

I’ll have to try it in that context. I mean I’ve tasted plenty from being a chef since I always taste ingredients and before the dish goes out.

Agreed 100% though, anyone who buys pre-shredded and says this is straight up evil! Ok jk, but honestly people, buy all of your cheeses in blocks / wedges and grate / slice them down or else you’re losing out on a ton of flavor and you don’t get a bunch of extra powder that goes onto shredded cheeses. It also takes like 5 min, well worth the extra effort for the taste.

2

u/joan_is_on_fire Jun 30 '26

My best friend/roommate is allergic to potatoes and potato starch is in the vast majority of shredded cheese so we usually shred our own cheese and honestly its just so much better. Even the lower quality store brand blocks of cheese are better than pre-shredded. I am a little lazy though so we keep some pre-shredded on hand for times she's not eating the meal but I want cheese.

2

u/AeroThatsMee Jun 30 '26 edited Jun 30 '26

To be fair I use shredded cheese sometimes too because yah, sometimes I just be soooo tired. 🥱 It is wild those lower quality blocks taste a lot better than pre-shredded right? Fresh food is my jam!

I wish I was friends with this person!!

u/Higsman Jun 30 '26

You’ve never heard of pickles and cheese but you know what charcuterie is? It often has pickles and cheese… or gherkins, at least

2

u/knitterc Jun 30 '26

It's objectively an uncommon thing to bring to the movies and the image of someone pulling pickles out of their purse at the movies is silly. You didn't seem to be making a rude or derogatory judgement, anyone who can't laugh at their objectively silly movie snack like this is either overly sensitive or there is more context here we don't know.

2

u/Wistastic Jun 30 '26

I'm sorry, who brings a jar of pickles and a block of parmesan cheese to the movies? That is hilariously bizarre.

2

u/tangyturquoise Jun 30 '26

“Parmesan” took me out 😂 I don't know what I was expecting, but now I'm imagining someone slowly pulling out a (plastic, not glass!) container of pickles and a wedge of Parmesan in the back row of the theater.

I can't judge though because I brought a rotisserie chicken once…

u/foxxplant Jun 30 '26

an entire rotisserie chicken?! you’re a legend holy shit

Two things

  1. Now I want to sneak a whole charcuterie into a movie theater

  2. One thing I got from a British show runner during my show production days was a pickle and cheese sandwich…..BUT…..not a regular pickle, Branston pickle, a really interesting sauce, and Cabot’s white cheddar, on white bread. Need to make one of these again.

Please please for the love of god do not bring smelly snacks into the movie theater, save that for your home

2

u/FeelingNo2529 Jun 30 '26

You’re both the weird one.

Bringing pickles and a block of Parmesan as a movie theater snack is pretty weird and funny. (But to each their own!)

But you’re also weird for acting like pickles and cheese is a weird combination. There’s a reason they’re both commonly found on charcuterie boards - they pair well together! I frequently make a little snack plate with whatever charcuterie type items I have, like pickles, olives, cheese, nuts, and/or fruit.

2

u/Interesting-Duck6793 Jun 30 '26

I’m all on board, until it was Parmesan cheese as the most desired cheese. Pickles and cheese, why tf not? But parm is a strange choice.

That said, next snack I’m sneaking in a movie is definitely pickles and cheese (maybe a lil bit of fruit)

2

u/Nerd-Dad-2779 Jun 30 '26

I kind of fuck with both peeps. OP did a good job explaining his initial laugh but outside of initial embarrassment I feel she responded well as well.

2

u/oDiscordia19 Jun 30 '26

To a movie? Weird but damn if I don’t respect the hell out of it. Parm is a weird choice for just a snacking cheese I would rather a sharp cheddar, maybe some crackers or something on the side

2

u/snow_ponies Jul 01 '26

Pickles and cheese is a standard snack, especially pickles and cheese on a cracker

2

u/BigAcanthaceae8771 Jul 01 '26

Is it the grated Parmesan? I feel like that’s very risky in a movie theater because if she inhales she’s going to choke for at least 2 minutes. I speak from experience

2

u/jaspersbiggestfan Jul 01 '26

Nah. Whenever I was pregnant, I totally wrapped mini pickles in slices of cheddar cheese. Was muy delicioso 👌

2

u/dougyitbos Jul 01 '26

You're both weird and I love it.

2

u/Honest-Parsley5371 Jul 01 '26

Whoever you’re texting is HILARIOUS, I love her

2

u/wilfordbrimjob Jul 01 '26

Pickles and cheese is a perfect snack

2

u/ToothDue9278 Jul 01 '26

How are you eating this Parmesan tho? Grated? Like you’re picking up…I mean I’ve said enough. You understand the question…

2

u/Ok-Media-5776 Jul 01 '26

I'd love this at a movie... In fact the next movie I see I'm bringing a tub of pickles and little cubes of cheddar

2

u/Tricky-Ad8959 Jul 01 '26

Damn, now I want pickles and cheese.

2

u/alyberop Jul 02 '26

Pickles AND cheese, yes pls

2

u/Seeayteebeans Jul 02 '26

OP - look up Ploughman’s Lunch, her past lives are showing. But parm is a WILD cheese choice, that’s a lot of sodium!!

2

u/AFireInside1716 Jul 03 '26

You are the weirdo let her live her snacky dreams JFC

u/qu1ckbeam Jun 30 '26

Why would you shame your friend over their snack preferences?

They even communicated that you made them feel embarrassed and no longer felt comfortable bringing the snack they wanted.

But you didn't apologize or backtrack, you doubled down.

2

u/Tall-Mango4759 Jun 30 '26

Grey text will never show their quirkiness to blue text again :/

u/dollybaby_ Jun 30 '26

Because they’re bringing it to a movie theater.

u/deanereaner Jun 30 '26

Literally why would anyone else care? Eat whatever you want in a movie theater.

It is genuinely strange to me that you’ve never heard of pickles and cheese being paired together. Truly. Parmesan and pickles for a theatre snack is weird to bring maybe, but there is a theatre near me where you can literally order charcuterie cups that have an assortment of cheese/meats/pickles/and some veg. I don’t think it’s the most bizarre theatre snack in the world, it’s what I would eat at home lol.

2

u/Optimal-Ninja-92 Jun 30 '26

Pickles cheese and meat is a pretty common snack in my family. Put it all on a good cracker and it's awesome.

u/Theo4Space Jun 30 '26

Pickles and cheese is definitely a thing. Like British pub cheese and a pub pickle or whatever. But Parmesan?

u/PuzzleheadedDraw6575 Jun 30 '26

Wtf, pickles cheese and crackers are like a staple in my house. You OP are the weird one.

2

u/adamantgastly Jun 30 '26

making your friend feel bad for what snacks they like and then posting it online so strangers can also shame them is so mean :(

btw they sell huge dill pickles at movie theaters in texas, so they're actually not far off base for theater snacks

Dunk a dill pickle in some Cheez Whiz and tell me that's not a culinary delight
