i buy sausages and divide them into 4, since our dc are older and in and out and not sure if they will be home.
so i defrost for whoever is home for an Evening Meal

DH announces, he will have a sausage sandwich for lunch, or a couple of sausages for breakfast, like a bloody king!
AIBU to attempt to restrict this reckless behaviour?

Sounds like a family of sausage emperors right there.

That's my family you're talking about! AngryGrin

Maelstrop · 17/06/2018 12:27

Like a king! Grin I’m dying!! :D He’s not eating entire swans and a suckling pig!

If you have meal planned and wanted to use sausages, persuade him to go and get more for tea if he’s ruined your plans.

Pettyspaghetti · 17/06/2018 12:28

I’d be filing for divorce. Sausage is the gateway food, next he’ll be expecting steak for breakfast.

GahWhatever · 17/06/2018 12:28

LTB, Dirty sausage eating Bastard!

pineapple22 · 17/06/2018 12:28

Buy more sausages, then you have some for dinner and some for other meals should anyone want some.

I mean if there's food in the house it's fair game, I wouldn't have somebody tell me I couldn't have a sausage sandwich in my own house lol

BrutusMcDogface · 17/06/2018 12:28

I can only imagine that this is the reason for the thread:

I assume that you are on a very tight budget and so meal planning is essential.

In which case, it is a bit selfish of your husband (though he could do without sausages for dinner when everyone else has them) and also Sad that you're in this position.

BrutusMcDogface · 17/06/2018 12:29

All the people saying "just buy more sausages" obviously have the money to do so!

CoughLaughFart · 17/06/2018 12:30

Where has the OP mentioned money?

AnneProtheroe · 17/06/2018 12:31

I didn't have a sausage sandwich for breakfast.

Madonnasmum · 17/06/2018 12:31

At no point has the OP said sausage rationing is due to budget constraints.
Otherwise the thread would not be so flippant / humorous.

WittyJack · 17/06/2018 12:32

Brutus - I think the OP is being tongue in cheek!

BrutusMcDogface · 17/06/2018 12:33

Oh. I don't get the joke, then! Grin

Aragog · 17/06/2018 12:33

We cooked sausages AND bacon for breakfast butties this morning. There were definitely note than just one or two sausages per sandwich too.

And we're off out for lunch now too. Will probably have more food this evening too.

TornFromTheInside · 17/06/2018 12:33

Daily Mail all over this:

Man caught taking sausage, angry wife says she'd like more sausage but can't stretch to it.
Children hurt by dad's betrayal, although admit he did have a lot on his plate at the time.

KneesupGaston · 17/06/2018 12:34

I fancy a bit of sausage later Wink

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 17/06/2018 12:37

If you read "Viz" a Sausage Sandwich means something ELSE Wink

YABU not having Quorn (other vegetarain sausages are available -and a damn sire nicer) .
Sossidges is full of eyes'n'testicles dont'cha know !

whyareknickerscalledapair · 17/06/2018 12:40

Dun dun dun dun
Another one bites the sausage
and another one gone and another one gone
Another one bites the sausage

TornFromTheInside · 17/06/2018 12:41

If you read Viz, everything has a different meaning!

CoughLaughFart · 17/06/2018 12:48

Sossidges is full of eyes'n'testicles dont'cha know !

Lips and arseholes, my nan used to say Grin

Notevilstepmother · 17/06/2018 12:48

Maybe you could enforce a rule based on type of sausages.

I suggest square sausages for breakfast (Scottish style)

Lincolnshire for lunch

Cumberland for tea.

Put a picture of each type on the freezer door with full instructions on time limits (breakfast until 10:30 only) and quantity limits.

You must crack down on this, or the next thing you know it will be fried eggs and fish finger sandwiches at midnight and steak and champagne for breakfast. Everyone knows it should be red with steak.

I agree with PP about gateway sausages. clutches pearls

Won’t somebody think of the poor children?

TwitterQueen1 · 17/06/2018 12:50

You could have checked with everyone before posting OP, to ensure we all have sausages in our freezers as now everyone will want one! Angry

Fortunately, I do - I split my last pack into thirds Grin Grin

Notevilstepmother · 17/06/2018 12:50

Oh, and please trigger warning for mentions of Quorn sausages. Those poor ikle microthingys that die to make sausages that aren’t real. Sad

SauvignonBlanche · 17/06/2018 12:53

YABU, I fancy a sausage now and am on a diet. Angry

MorningsEleven · 17/06/2018 12:53

The only way to change his behaviour is to give him hole with no toad for his tea. That'll learn him.

DisturblinglyOrangeScrambleEgg · 17/06/2018 12:53

I assume this is a wind up? Sausages are not an evening meal unless toad in the hole with mash, cabbage & onion gravy. HTH

Making me dribble.

I can't get sausages where I live, only this horrible things filled with actual meat (and bloody fennel)! What I would give for a nice Richmonds or Walls, with the right amount of rusk, and that kinda sharp taste..

I'm also the only one that'll eat the toad in the hole, and mopping up everyone's leftover yorkshire just isn't healthy, so I rarely cook it..
