To think DH could just pick up a chicken drum stick and eat it.

Honestly, is my DH the only one who messes about with a knife and fork and makes a toddler grade fuss about any meat with bones.

Why can't he just pick them up and eat them!

hell not heel - you know what I'm trying to say Grin

Delurked - sadly cake, biscuits, sweets and just about every other foodstuff known to woman doesn't have the same effect Grin

So basically he blames the cook for them not being processed? I do pretty much agree with him, I much prefer the processing to happen in the kitchen with appropriate tools. Mind you, I have no problem eating other appropriate foods with my hands, it's more not waning the hassle of deboning a chicken with a table knife and fork.

My solution - get him on a Butchery course, so then it's his job to process the meat, and you'll never need bones in any of your meals, and that sorts out your Christmas present too...

I can't stand eating anything with my fingers, especially greasy food!!
It also makes me queasy when I watch other people doing it....

People always laugh at me when I tuck into my Delivery Pizza with a knife and fork but I don't care Grin

Where do all these hang ups come from? How did you guys cope with weaning and toddler's messy fingers. Confused

Urgh I'm with your OH, I'd eat it with a knife and fork.

I wouldn't mind, him using a knife and fork if he didn't moan.

it's not as if he doesn't lime doing fiddly things. He'll build and mend electric circuits that need a sodding microscope nd are supposed to be built by robots.

I love a chew on a drumstick,finishing with gnawing on the bone to see if I can get some marrow out.

I would keep serving them up,and let him eat them as he sees fit,whilst insisting that I'd eat mine as I saw fit.

Weaning and toddlers messy fingers are a doddle - mush on a spoon, followed by throwing bits of finger foods at them, then they feed themselves. Quick wipe with a wet flannel, job done. Vast difference between that and being forced to eat things with sinew, skin, fat and cartilage
