To offer an adult chicken nuggets for their tea?

[SomedayMyPrinceWillCome]

DS & I have chicken nuggets (with potatoes & veg) for tea every Friday as an end of the week treat.
This week we will have a family friend with us for our evening meal, she is a lovely lady who is in her mid-60s (I think that maybe relevant).
So...WIBU to offer her chicken nuggets for tea? Should I get something more grown up?

I would serve something else, a bit more 'adult', to me chicken nuggets/dippers are my easy, no fuss, cba to cook meal, and if another adult was coming over I'd make more effort and cook from scratch. Even if they are homemade, it still doesn't seem as much effort as making a chilli or whatever. Your ds won't mind missing one Friday treat

Are the chicken nuggets homemade? If so, fine to give them to your guest. I wouldn't serve up convenience food to someone coming round to tea, though. In that case, I would do a chicken breast for myself and the visitor and let your DC have the nuggets as usual. You can both eat the potatoes/veg.

I would do home made ones, possibly make them into goujons rather than nuggets. Easy enough to do and far healthier and tastier.

I love chicken nuggets and eat them at home. I also like oven chips and beans. I love so called 'kids' food.

Aah call them goujons and you'll be fine

I would eat them, would be grateful and would not secretly judge. I am over 60, if that helps. If you're worried, call them chicken goujons and sprinkle with finely chopped parsley.

What about chicken goujons? :D

I'd ask the friend. She might think it's fun to join in with the Friday night kiddie-food treat. Or she might prefer something else, and asking will give her the chance to say so without worrying about causing offence.

Top tip.
If you buy Asda fresh chicken goujons, the already breaded ones, smash up a bag of lime flavoured tortilla chips dip goujons into beaten egg (it's nice dipped in plain yoghurt too) roll them in the tortilla chips and eat in wraps or a nice salsa and salad you won't know they are shop bought plus no faffing or dishes just chuck em in the crisp bag to coat.

Chicken nuggets with chips and homemade coleslaw is one of my favourite dinners!

Just food innit?

If they are made with real chicken breast it would probably be fine. If they are made with reconstituted mush that once existed somewhere on a chicken it wouldn't. I just couldn't eat the latter kind as I find them disgusting. They taste bad but the texture is worse, so horrible.

Grim to serve an adult chicken nuggets. Do something else. I reckon it's grim to serve them to children too, but that's another conversation.

I can't eat them any more (unless they're gluten free) but I have always loved nuggets, as does DH. We'd secretly love to go to dinner at someone's and be offered that

Ooooh legotits I like your style

I don't think I could bring myself to do that. I'd do as others have said, and make a more grown-up, less breaded chicken product, and serve the same potatoes & veg. Or change the meal entirely - my DC would cope, but then we never have the same meal on the same day so wouldn't be an issue of routine, iyswim.

I love chicken nuggets. I know that I am not supposed to.

Is she enough of a friend that if you asked she would give you an honest answer?

Explain the treat and ask if she has naughty cravings for junk food too or if she would prefer to have with you while DC has nuggets. Make it sound like either is equally good with you.

One of my favourite meals is chicken dippers and baked beans. I'm edging towards 40.

Dh and I (no kids) have chicken nuggets, oven chips and beans on lazy cooking days. I wouldn't judge. But then, I've served macaroni cheese to dinner guests before.

It would depend on the context of the invitation and the friend. If I didn't know the person well, then I wouldn't offer nuggets just because that's what you and DS have on a Friday.

If it was my best mate who has seen me in all kinds of compromising positions, she'd be getting nuggets with wine and a salad as a nod to being grownups. She'd also like spaghetti hoops on toast though...a lady in her 60s? Hmmm...

I don't eat meat any more but in the days when I did I would really have struggled to force those down. Do you actually understand what goes in them and how the "meat" is produced?

I'd rather have pasta and pesto if you want an easy meal.

I would judge. Both the quality of the chicken, and the nuggetness. I am a lady in my 50s. Well, not much of a lady, but in my 50s.

I would only consider them remotely a treat if you also produced fizz.

My DH would be over the moon with that.

No I'd cook something else for you and your friend.

I'd never offer that to an adult, sorry.

I'd cook your favourite guest meal for the adults and let your child have the usual nuggets.
