To send my toddler to nursery with takeaway curry?!

Mooey89 · 15/05/2016 19:29

I send my 3 year old DS to nursery with lunch and tea. Usually a sandwich/something on toast and then leftovers from the night before, spaghetti bolognaise, shepherds pie etc.
Tonight DP and I are having curry (takeaway) - non spicy vegetable based.
There's bloody shitloads left over!
He eats anything and everything, loves curry when I make one, very confident he will eat it.

DP said it would be an 'epic parenting fail' to send him with it, I think it's fine as a one off...

AIBU?

Just had a PM from a researcher on the Wright stuff asking if they can use this thread and if I can call in on Friday???
Is there nothing more interesting going on in the world??

I hope they invite toodles along too. I reckon she will be comedy gold

Sadly, I'm working, and also, think I need to keep fighting the good fight and not encourage the media theft of boring (mine!) threads!

Hope you reported to MNHQ, Mooey - I think that's clearly against site rules.

Takeaway Indian for a 3 year old. Ridiculous

I'm sure Queenie said the very same thing in her speech today.

Please go in the wright stuff...
just so you can do a Harvey Price "hello C**ts" on them.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 18/05/2016 14:55

I did, Lurcio, I said OP had been contacted by a troll.

Mooey89 · 18/05/2016 14:59

I reported the Pm to mnhq.

I don't know why everyone is saying reheated rice is a food poisoning risk.... I am Indian and have reheated rice forever - never had even a tummy bug! Of course, it's at the most 12 hours old...

Pico2 · 20/05/2016 17:15

This is why people are saying its a risk.

firesidechat · 20/05/2016 18:32

Yes I did a food hygiene course and rice is the worst for food poisoning. That said I do reheat it, but to a nuclear level and only for myself and husband. I wouldn't take that risk with a small child, especially if sending it in for others to reheat. I do think the occasional curry is ok though.

originalmavis · 20/05/2016 18:44

I asked my ME mil about rice being bad to reheat. She says that she's been eating it for almost 80 years (so I assume pre refrigeration) and it's absolutely fine to reheat. I think it's something to do with cooling and not reheating it properly.

I reheat it and have never had a problem.

UmbongoUnchained · 20/05/2016 19:15

Rice is fine to reheat if you've cooked it yourself but only once. If it's from a Chinese takeaway then it's likely to have been sat in a rice cooker for hours and then reheated in the wok when you order it. That's why I wouldn't reheat rice from a takeaway.

OP, if you think the salt police are pompous killjoys (& a tad insulting to boot - you are NOT crap for rearing an unfussy kid), take a look at the how much booze is ok threads...

Autumn2014 · 21/05/2016 17:26

My son would love this. You ate not crap. I don't understand how it would be reasonable to take a child out to a restaurant to eat a multicultural meal, but a take away it wrong.

Fine occasionally
