ds went on a school trip yesterday.
Apparently one of his friends had a horrible packed lunch 'cos his mum gave him an egg inside a coconut.
After much quizzing ( and admiration of getting an egg inside a whole coconut) transpires it was a scotch egg.
Just thought I'd share as it was cute.

I thought this was going to be a thread about finding the egg of a scary jungle beast inside a coconut. I'm disappointed and relieved at the same time.

I though it was going to be a with photos, hideous life form in foodstuff shocker too! I was ready to be put off Bounty bars for life.

Scotch eggs are grim though.

That is brilliant Grin.

My DD told me the other day that her friend had 'frinkles'...on explanation it turns out to be a sprinkling of freckles! :)

My Mum was baffled by my description of croquettes for lunch at school: potato wrapped up in a fish-finger skin.

IneedAyoniNickname · 21/06/2013 10:10

Haha! Disappointed that this thread doesn't contain instructions on how to get an egg inside a coconut though, my boys would LOVE that!

SarahAndFuck · 21/06/2013 10:18

Oh thank god. I thought this was going to be some kind of horrible spiders nest thread.

KitchenDiscoDancer · 21/06/2013 10:20

My DS was describing a lunch he hated - looks like pizza, sounds like Keith - quiche!

MrsPatrickDempsey · 21/06/2013 10:58

My DD has always called scotch eggs scratchy balls!

This reminds me of my uncle who used to be able to hand me an unpeeled banana, which, when peeled, would turn out to be sliced inside.

I never did work out how he did that.

a few years back my daughter came home and told me she had chicken with a handle for lunch great description for a chicken drumstick

farewellfigure · 21/06/2013 11:20

I love that trick. You can do it with apples as well. I must learn how. Google here I come...

Hassled · 21/06/2013 11:21

Another one with visions of some sort of snake egg that the coconut had somewhow grown around :o.

anon - you owe it to us to find out. That's like magic or summat. How? How??

flipflopper · 21/06/2013 11:25

you do it with a pin- stick in through the skin and wiggle

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 21/06/2013 12:53

Grin @ chicken with a handle

5Foot5 · 21/06/2013 13:25

As a very small child who had just begun having school dinners, my Mum asked me what I had had that day and I told her that for pudding there was "spewed apples" Yuck!

MummyPig24 · 21/06/2013 13:41

Haha these are cute! My children call fish fingers or chicken nuggets "fishin nuggets". Lasagne is "vasagne" and Rice Krispies "cewul pops"

DeWe · 21/06/2013 14:16

I love it.

I told dm that school dinners was meat in little envelopes. It was ravioli.

Moomoomie · 21/06/2013 16:30

Reminds me, when dd2 was about six, she asked me why I had put carrot in her jelly. It was peach!
