First off, I like a sausage roll as much as the next dog.

However, when there is a high likelihood that the whole family will need to eat a picnic lunch IN THE CAR, cooped up together, with limited fresh air, I think it is perfectly acceptable to ban cold sausage rolls and indeed any other product that might stink for ages afterwards.

dh is insisting on s rolls

hmm can see both sides here

sausage rolls very nice on picnics

smell will go quite quickly

not understanding why picnic lunch must be in car?

our Zafira does that too Enid - nearly gets me on the chin every time I open the blasted thing.

Good for sitting small children on to pull wellies off too.

He he, I can smell it from here! That farty, guffy smell you get when you peel the lid off a tupperware container!

in car because it will probably be pissing down, yes.

Cold sausage rolls stink much more than hot ones I have found. And teh flaky bits go blardy everywhere.

egg sandwiches a good case in point.

I love an egg sndwich but no other pdogs do. I would never be so inconsiderate as to eat egg sandwiches in a vacuum-packed car in the rain.

Close, MellowMa/Pointy, but my dh works for a wine distribution company ... lashings of very cheap vino.

That beats a sausage roll any day ...
