There could be a claim there Nyan?

'When sorry isn't enough'. Pessary. Where there's blame there's a claim.

Ha ha that is the modern way, sue their arses. You know it makes (financial) sense. So glad I am old and we were more rational 20-15 years ago. Before anyone says I always thought Jimmy Savile was a bad man so we weren't living in denial.

Sparkling - sausages in everywhere. Not just a cocktail one too.

Are you not sure it may have been horse? Or maybe even dog?

Popsie... it's Saturday Night in AIBU. So please don't expect more than the odd intelligent, considered response, in amongst all the fuelled jocularity.

Assuming you are for real, yanbu, it's not on to undermine parental choices with food, unless you are a professional with a child protection brief and the parental choice is something like starving a child to death because the parent believes it to be possessed by a demon.

In the name of JINSY! Can we just try and rationalise this situation! The OP, understandably doesnae like the ingredients of the usual, common bangar. Along comes interfereing Mumsy. Poor child isn't eating pigs whatever! Will offer it to child, tho I have no authority! I eat donner kebabs. So I have no fear in life but when it comes to my innards! but if someone went behind me back, regarding the kiddyminsters. Well I would have to get all medievial on their asses!

Thank you DeepRedBetty, It is real and I am more angry at the other Mum for secretly trying to give him it, we have never eaten sausages and ds is happy with that, I wasn't being precious!

The other mum kept looking to see where you were in the hope you'd leave the room?????? Nobody in ther right mind would be that invested in making sure someone else's child ate a sausage! Are you a touch paranoid in other areas if your life too, op?

That's ok Popsie. I'm afraid I've started on the myself now... there must be a Silly Thread somewhere - coming?

No I'm not paranoid! Luckily another Mum said to her 'No you can't do that,he doesn't eat them'! She really wanted him to have it, I think she thought he has been missing out on these amazing bloody sausages!

i don't know why people do this. instead of just accepting that some people are particular about what they and their children eat, and leaving it at that, they have to stick their noses in and hand round the sausages.

Oh FFS what bullshit. How would the other mum have even noticed your kiddo didn't have a sausage?? Why would not just assume he didn't like them??

OP, I think you need to relax. It's a cocktail sausage. For what it's worth, I don't eat sausages. I don't know what's in them, don't really like the taste either. DP and DDs eat them, but I wouldn't buy cocktail ones at home cos they're cheap shite. But parties are all about stuff you wouldn't normally have at home - that's what makes them fun! I do think the woman was being disrespectful to go out of her way if you had made it clear you didn't want your DS eating them for her to go out of her way to sneakily give him one.

Bubblegum - what on earth is in your £10 for 2 sausages? GOLD?! What butchers do you go to? That would cost me £40 for sausages for one meal for my family! It's cheaper for us to buy fillet steaks for all of us!

Wait till your kiddie goes off to university and will eat kebabs and pot noodles by the bucket full. In the grand scheme of life, it is not important.
Have a or a bowl of icecream, and stop BU !!

At my sisters wedding buffet, being the classy bird she is (and i do love her to bits) they had full size sausages, cut down the middle, then mash piped down the split in the sausage. They were lush! Never seen that again since though!

And the only good cocktail sausage is one wearing a coat of bacon!

Not sure why or how anyone would bother noticing what others were putting on a plate at the buffet, unless a production was made of not choosing sausages!

Rouge I'm having a hard time imagining that as anything other than cream eclairs!

Was a sausage and mash éclair!

But the whole point of party food is to be able to scoff "poxy cocktail sausages", isn't it?

It is completely off to give another kid food that you have already been told he can't eat, but unless you have a genuine reason (ie dietary or cultural) you should have raised it immediately or let it go. If you think that your son has been poisoned from ingesting a party sausage and it would be fair game to punch someone over it, you really need to get out more.

oh my

That sums it up cozie.
