Fish N Chips

[Justoneme]

Okay ... crazy one for you ... currently on holiday with my DP my DC and three DSC

Tonight we ordered our meals at a restaurant on site.. my meal, my son and one of the step children meal arrived, the others didn't. So immediately we asked where the other meals where and the restaurant apologised and said they had forgotten. They offered us free fish and chips from the site chippy which we accepted.
While we were waiting for the chips my son and two of the step children went back to eat the food from the restaurant.

My other DSC went back in a bit after to eat half of "my" meal with his sister, but she'd eaten all the double cheeseburger and chips. Anyway got back to the caravan and DSS who had nothing to eat joined us and the 3 of us tucked into fish & chips. Then the others arrived back after eating their meals, and asked for their fish & chips as well?!?! (First question, what would you do give them it?)

But then DSD said to DSS, save it till tomorrow as that's what we'd said to the others (bearing in mind they'd eaten already). Is that weird what DSS said? Is she trying to say it's fair? Wwyd???

No no no it's not goats or hens or chickens, it's SHEEP.

Intresting on the restaurant. Manager needs minimum go to Specsavers. At worst he needs sacking.

Because he can open a fridge and not see that there's only 3 burgers left in it. He starts cooking them, and then realises he needs 6

How on eart do you cook half an order without knowing you haven't got the other half?

Still don't understand half eaten cheeseburger thing. One minute it was half eaten, next minute it was a whole one.

Note to self - why am I posting?!

This sounds like the beginning of a Guy Richie film.

D'ya like dags?

Rationing left over food in the way you have and refusing to let children eat it because you think they shouldn't even though they are on holiday and it is a one off situation is likely to lead to food issues later in their life.

I very much doubt it!

So, DH said his XDW would have kept ALL 6 F&C for the next day and felt it would have been fairer for the 3 (OP, DH & 1 child) who hadn't had the nice (all-be-it possibly cold) treat of eating a restaurant meal to just make do with a tin if soup or beans on toast that night so that everyone could enjoy(!!!) the reheated F&C together the next day?

Wonderful!!

@JG1. Why didn't they just all go to the chippy the next day then? Who wants reheated fish and chips that's been sat in a caravan all night?

That was DH's input, saying what his XDW would've done AFTER they DSD had told her brother he shouldn't eat his F&C (I think!! )

I'm assuming OP would have put the food in the fridge once it had cooled down.

All this thread has made me do is REALLY WANT chippy F&C with salt & proper malt vinegar! Impossible where I live. I'd gladly eat the leftovers now

Jg1 saving cooked fish and chips for the next day is weird and miserly behaviour, especially when on holiday. We are not talking about left over stew at home which can be easily frozen and reheated.
Yes, I do believe that refusing to let a child eat some left over fish and chips when they are on holiday is the sort of behaviour that leads to food issues later in life. It must be awful for a child to be refused some delicious smelling hot fish and chips knowing that they will be served it up for tomorrow's meal when it is cold and grim. If it was about a weight issue and the OP not wanting to add to a child's already excessive weight and greed then she should have discreetly disposed of the fish and chips so the child wasn't aware that there were leftovers (or better still she could have cancelled the order for three of the portions when the children went back to consume the restaurant meal). Why take something that you don't intend to use just because it is free?

The F&C were ordered when the 3 kids decided to go back to the restaurant.
It was DSD (who had already eaten) telling her brother that he couldn't eat his F&C because she couldn't have her (2nd) meal. That's not on.

Have you never changed an order in a takeaway Jg1? As they were not paying for it they wouldn't have lost any money by only taking what they planned to consume that evening. It's not as though they would have to pay for the three portions that they could have cancelled.
