Bacon sandwich dilemma (lighthearted - sort of)

DH made me a bacon roll this morning - lovely dry cured bacon, ketchup, tiger bread roll and brought them up to bed for me, but upon finding me in the shower left breakfast on the toilet (!!?!) for me. Apparently this is hygienic as the lid is down. AIBU to not eat it Confused?

I would eat it if it's not soggy from shower steam. I assume your husband's bum was in contact with the seat rather than the closed lid and that he washed his hands before making your breakfast? But I'm strictly a brown sauce person, the ketchup is grounds for divorce.

SoupDragon · 26/04/2020 09:52

I wouldn't eat it.

Rationally I know that it is fine but I still wouldn't be able to bring myself to eat it.

SoupDragon · 26/04/2020 09:53

Surely your toilet lid should be just as clean as your sink etc, unless you wee on it.

Do you put the lid down before or after you've washed your hands though?

amusedbush · 26/04/2020 09:53

That’s disgusting.

A bacon roll should only be eaten with brown sauce.

beebeedandelion · 26/04/2020 09:55

Tomato Ketchup and Brown Sauce do not belong anywhere near food. YABU if you eat a contaminated sandwich, bacon or otherwise.
LTB.

Was it back bacon and crispy? Streaky and smoked - yuk.

Freak.

ThePants999 · 26/04/2020 09:58

Can't believe there's anyone who would consider this a problem. Never mind how clean the toilet seat is - are you planning to lick the BOTTOM of the plate!?

Washyourhandsyoufilthyanimal · 26/04/2020 10:03

I rest my wine on the closed loo when I’m in the bath!? Where else do you put it?

Lordfrontpaw · 26/04/2020 10:05

Only on the floor because I couldn’t reach the loo from the bath (and the kid is curved).

SoupDragon · 26/04/2020 10:07

On the rack that goes across the bath.

Coldilox · 26/04/2020 10:08

Tiger roll? No. It should be white sliced bread or a barm (soft roll for anyone not in my region).

Toilet seat wouldn’t bother me though.

snowpony · 26/04/2020 10:11

Thank you for all your responses. In answer to some of the critical questions, yes it was crispy back bacon, definitely ketchup (not sorry) and yes I agree it’s ok to rest a wine glass on a toilet - alcohol and necessity obvs. I have eaten the very well crafted bacon roll whilst trying to educate DH on food hygiene (and the fact that there is a perfectly suitable surface in the bedroom, mere steps away) but he is too busy celebrating winning the poll to listen.

On the wine shelf storage unit conveniently placed within reach

"It should be white sliced bread or a barm"

Barm 🤮 it's a bloody teacake

Oysterbabe · 26/04/2020 10:14

Barms and teacakes. You crazy northerners and your words for bread Grin

00Sassy · 26/04/2020 10:14

Erm, the toilet can’t be that dirty that you can’t eat from a plate placed on top of the closed seat, surely? Confused

circusintown · 26/04/2020 10:21

Stop saying barm 🙈

RomaineCalm · 26/04/2020 10:22

Barm 🤮 it's a bloody teacake

But a teacake has currants in it. That would be very, very wrong with bacon.

OP - I would have eaten it but wouldn't be completely comfortable about it being on the toilet seat no matter how clean.

circusintown · 26/04/2020 10:23

No. A currant teacake has currants in it. A teacake doesn't Smile

snowpony · 26/04/2020 10:26

@RomaineCalm here’s the really controversial AIBU - I love a bacon roll made with a hot cross bun. Am thinking you may find that worse than eating one left on a loo Grin

Stephie0x3 · 26/04/2020 10:28

Gross but I’d still eat it!!

Isitweekendyet · 26/04/2020 10:30

Unless he dunked it in the aforementioned shitty toilet water I'd say you're good to go ;)

AlCalavicci · 26/04/2020 10:51

It is a bit of a odd place to put it as you are unlikly to eat it as soon as you step out of the shower , I would take it to the bed room and get back in bed to eat it --and ask where is the coffee-
But yes I would eat it with no problem ,

Northerner here can some one please explain why a teacake is so called ?

A 'barm' cake is named after the foam that rises to the top of beer while it is been brewed , the yeast sold in 'cakes' ( compact cubes , not the sweet type we now know ) was then sold to bakers in this is what they used to make the barm cake.

Sorry to derail your thread @snowpony .
As you were Smile
