DH says it’s fine to put a slice of left over pizza in DD2’s packed lunch tomorrow. I say it’s disgusting. WIBU?

Sounds like an epic packed lunch to me,but I wouldn't pack it in school packed lunches as I'm too scared the Packed Lunch Police would come nee nawing up and tell me off Grin

Yabu. Left over cold pizza is fit. Better than got pizza. In fact I am having left over pizza tomorrow for my lunch.

Tell him to throw in some carrot stick and it'll be fine. Bread, cheese and tomato. What's not to like?

Crinkle77 · 30/01/2018 20:10

Ok your husband just sounds better and better. Garlic mayo sounds amazeballs. I also hummus with my cold pizza.

mumeeee · 30/01/2018 20:11

Cold pizza is fine. I've often eaten left over pizza for lunch the next day.

PoorYorick · 30/01/2018 20:11

Mmm, cold pizza. Almost as good as cold leftover Chinese.

BlackPeppercorn · 30/01/2018 20:12

My teens will snaffle anything - cold pizza, cold pasta (with grated cheese on top), yesterday one took leftover rice with curry sauce on top (in a Pyrex dish!).
Except for Friday, they take nothing as the school canteen does cheesy chips that day.

iveburntthetoast · 30/01/2018 20:12

I should be relieved that DD2 is eating anything She’s a very fussy eater and would live off nothing but sausages if we let her. She doesn’t like chips, cake, chocolate, most sweets Confused

Cold pizza for lunch is great

kateandme · 30/01/2018 20:17

its fine.only like a different type of bread with tomato and cheese

Theweasleytwins · 30/01/2018 20:17

I had half a cold pizza for breakfast ❤️

"Cold pizza is grim - congealed cheese?"
That's why I also don't like it.

PoorYorick · 30/01/2018 20:31

It's not congealed, its melted and solidified and it does that amazing poppy thing when you bite through it and it's all marinaded and delicious and yum.

rightknockered · 30/01/2018 20:32

My kids prefer cold pizza. Youngest sometimes has it in his packed lunch

BlueMirror · 30/01/2018 20:33

It depends. My 2 used to take leftover pizza but it would be homemade so basically bread, cheese, passata, herbs and plenty of veg so as healthy as a sandwich imo.
If it's a congealed, grease ridden slice of Goodfellas/Dominos then I wouldn't.

Chasingsquirrels · 30/01/2018 20:34

I think it's disgusting - so I don't eat it.
Ds2 likes it, so makes extra pizza so he can have some for his lunchbox, has done so this evening in fact.
Each to their own.

FatBottomedGal · 30/01/2018 20:35

Absolutely agree with you OP - cold pizza is gross!!

GoodMorning1 · 30/01/2018 20:36

Ooh - cold pizza for breakfast. Takes me back to my student days.

BrutusMcDogface · 30/01/2018 20:37

Cold pizza is lovely.

I'm more shocked at a can of Diet Coke being confiscated from a fully grown adult at a toddler group, though?! Really? Really?! HmmConfused

Italiangreyhound · 30/01/2018 20:38

My main concern would be what your dd thinks. Cold food is fine, pizza is fine, but what do her friends eat, would she feel embarrassed to have a slice of pizza if they have sandwiches?

Also "Update: apparently he’s sending a little tub of garlic mayo for her dip it in." Is this going to make her breath smell of garlic all day? That would be my only concern!

Italiangreyhound · 30/01/2018 20:39

I'm not saying she should feel embarrassed but would she?

crunchermuncher · 30/01/2018 20:40

Why is it disgusting? Because you don't like the idea of cold pizza? Or because it's a day old? Neither makes a food stuff 'disgusting '.

sonjadog · 30/01/2018 20:43

I always make enough pizza to have leftovers for lunch the next day.

PurplePotatoes · 30/01/2018 20:44

I wouldn't personally as I think cold pizza is rank so I agree with you OP but looks like we are in the minority! As long as you think DD would eat it though that's the main thing.

BattleaxeGalactica · 30/01/2018 20:46

I had three day old cold pizza for lunch yesterday.

Was lovely
