Feeding my kids raw chicken??

I don’t really know how to react to this, I fact I didn’t react at all I just took my kids, said goodbye and left.

A school mum has offered to have my kids over for lunch so I could attend an appointment today. Really nice of her, really appreciate it.

When I went to get them they were eating still and I went to sit with them at the table to see my two year old about to stick a piece of pink slimy chicken into his mouth. I made him give it to me then noticed that all the kids had undercooked chicken on their plates. I pointed this out to their mum and she laughed and said “Oh yeah they were really hungry and I didn’t have time to cook the drumsticks through properly so I just pulled all the bits that looked cooked off the bone.”

Aibu to think she’s a fucking idiot?? I was so stunned I just said we needed to go! Hoping they don’t get food poisoning Sad

What's wrong with being a plumber?

LittleMe03 · 07/01/2019 14:38

@louise5754 don't... just don't! Confused

It’s literally just the first job that popped into my head.

I didn’t think this thread would be so much fun. limitedperiod’s posts are utterly bizarre, and that medium rare chicken 😂

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 07/01/2019 15:25

This thread has been very informative.

I always assumed food poisoning would be pretty much immediate, and it seems that’s not quite like right.

waterplease · 07/01/2019 15:43

Argh this is my worst nightmare!Shock I literally avoid all meats because of food poisoning (and eggs!). What a stupid woman!

ethelfleda · 07/01/2019 15:47

This thread is two for the price of one- the stupid moron who gave the undercooked chicken and the bloody strange poster who keeps going on about your doctor husband Confused

BitOutOfPractice · 07/01/2019 15:50

Next time I go to nando's I'll ask for my chicken "medium rare" and see what the reaction is Grin

I hope the DC continue to be OK OP

Please, nobody confuse my user name with limitedperiodonly, we are not related! Grin

MsTSwift · 07/01/2019 15:54

It reminds me of a weirdo who insisted that I and a few others couldn’t possibly be solicitors and we must be making it up. Right. If I were pathetic enough to lie about my job I sure as hell would pick a more interesting one than a solicitor!

AppleBlossomArseCheeks · 07/01/2019 15:57

Chicken is the worst, yanbu!!

It's not bloody beef she was cooking, I hope your children don't get ill

BitOutOfPractice · 07/01/2019 16:07

What would you be MsTSwift?

MsTSwift · 07/01/2019 16:16

Spy. Murder detective. Pilot. Super model

Pfingstrose · 07/01/2019 17:27

Thanks @GertrudeCB! CSI NHS!Interesting (although I'm sure it didn't seem that way given you were poorly enough to be in hospital!).

Some of the stories on this thread make me want to review my omnivore status 😓

ShirleyPhallus · 07/01/2019 18:12

I was accused once of not being English. That was quite funny. How the poster had any idea I am not sure

BitOutOfPractice · 07/01/2019 18:40

All of them MsSwift or is that a list of options.

I think I’d be a rock star. I have the voice of an angel already so it shouldn’t be too much of a stretch Grin

pickingdaisies · 07/01/2019 18:59

Bitoutofpractice I think you have a new user name waiting for you! (Or I might nick it myself, I too have the Voice of an Angel!) Grin

GertrudeCB · 08/01/2019 06:30

You're welcome @Pfingstrose, also the time it takes for symptoms to appear depends on how much of the bacteria you ingest, so in my case it was a reasonably low amount that multiplied after I'd ingested them hence the delay. Salmonella is like my specialist subject now Grin

birdiewoof · 08/01/2019 06:50

Thank fuck I am vegetarian, I am now picturing people eating slimy raw chicken 🤮

sueelleker · 08/01/2019 07:08

I ate a dodgy prawn salad one lunchtime, and it was the following morning before the symptoms appeared,
