Eating bacon rolls...with cutlery!?

Currently staying at DPs parents house. They are wonderful people and always provide lots of lovely food wherever we visit. His mum produced bacon and egg rolls. Looking forward as rarely eat bacon rolls. She made the rolls herself, bacon from a local award winning butchers and eggs from a neighbour. Sat down to eat...to which they proceeded to do so using a knife and fork...for bacon rolls Shock

AIBU to think this should be a criminal offense?

Glad I'm not BU.

Cornettoninja I was ready to tuck in then realised they were using knives and forks and I was rather taken aback. Oh, and, AND, the rolls were OPEN! OPEN I tell you. Not even CLOSED.

It felt rather odd eating it that way. Do I LTB because of his parents' weird eating habits? Our son hasn't long started weaning so do I risk exposing him to this atrocity?? Grin

If the rolls were open I can understand the knife and fork. It would be very hard to eat an open bacon roll with your hands, you'd have to hold the hot bacon on with your fingers.

Cornettoninja · 30/09/2017 20:51

oyster I'd have smushed it altogether myself if it was served open, maybe cut it in half which may seem civilised but is actually to minimise loss and top stainage.

Oh dear crazy, it's just such a perfect image in my head I'm so pleased it wasn't wrong Grin

They're definitely the odd ones - they haven't lived!!

RainbowPastel · 30/09/2017 21:13

Definitely a bacon batch.

Clutterbugsmum · 30/09/2017 21:21

Don't come to mine then when DD2 is eating. She has some very weird eating Idea's,

Toasted baked bean ans cheese toastie Knife and fork
Crispy creme glazed doughnut Knife and fork.

Won't eat pizza, but will eat cheese on toast with tomatoes.

She is very weird.

SteppingOnToes · 30/09/2017 21:29

Warburtons have settled the argument - it's a barmcake.

Nothing encased in bread should be eaten with a knife and fork!

I eat pizza with a knife and fork but mainly because I'm too much of a greedy bitch to wait for it to cool and I've had volcanic pizza topping burn my chin one too many times...

Cheesymonster · 30/09/2017 21:32

Brown or red sauce?

pregz · 30/09/2017 21:35

I have to eat EVERYTHING with a knife/fork I don't know why I'm like this but OH thinks it's the funniest thing ever when I have to awkwardly ask for cutlery when we are out for food that really doesn't require it Grin

I know and accept that it's weird but everyone has their quirks lol!

YANBU.

It's weird.

However, I know someone who eat cakes/donuts/egg custards etc with a knife and fork, AND also toast!

My friend's husband eats pizza, and GARLIC BREAD with a knife and fork FFS.

CherryCheese · 30/09/2017 21:42

yes def an offense - meat is murder poor pig they deserve to live

Poor pig indeed

sonlypuppyfat · 30/09/2017 21:46

See I've got a few who agree it's a batch

CherryCheese · 30/09/2017 21:48

Bacon barm. On a soft barm /bap
Bacon butty. Sliced bread.

With brown sauce natch

19lottie82 · 30/09/2017 21:50

I used to go to a childminder after school when I was about 5/6 and remember she used to make us eat cheese on toast with a knife and fork, telling us that's what Princess Diana did Grin

user1499786242 · 30/09/2017 21:51

My dad does this... blows my mind

He also uses a knife and fork to eat a chicken bake from greggs... why dad, WHY

ProfessorCat · 30/09/2017 21:52

What in the name of fuckity fuck is a barm?! Does it come from the same place as the people who say "pack up"?

A batch is a group of things. Not a bap/cob/roll.

A butty is made with sliced bread or is your mate.

People are weird.

MyDcAreMarvel · 30/09/2017 21:56

Er no Professor , it is a barm but pack up is weird.

SteppingOnToes · 30/09/2017 21:58

Ivy79 THANKYOU - you just reminded me I have 2 egg custards in the fridge!

CherryCheese · 30/09/2017 21:59

I say barm but don't say pack up

SteppingOnToes · 30/09/2017 21:59

Professor Warburtons say you are wrong...

Cosmic123 · 30/09/2017 22:00

God what is wrong with people.

My cousin's vile ex husband left her for a work colleague who was pregnant within weeks of him leaving.

My cousin's teenage daughters had to go and stay the night recently and got told off for not eating pizza with a knife and fork.

Goldenbug · 30/09/2017 22:00

They should be eaten with gusto. Not knives or forks or sporks or knifeforkspoons.

NoMapOfMyHead · 30/09/2017 22:01

Bacon batch??!!! Wtf!.... It's a bacon bap!
Or a bacon butty if it's bread.

AND it must have butter on regardless

Op your inlaws are wierd
