To wonder why DD was refused food?

[TheLasrStraw]

Y8 DD came back from a residential trip and said she and her friend asked for a the Yorkshire Pudding without the meat sprinkles - the server was sprinkling the meat on it in front of them so could have just given one before he sprinkled it.

They were both refused.

We were told that this venue caters for all diets so why would they have been refused this?

So they were both refused one Yorkshire pudding at one meal or were they literally refused food for the whole trip? The difference is important.

Whims? Do you consider all requests as whims? Jesus, you'd never cope in hospitality this is a dinner on a school trip, hardly a paid-for meal at the carvery.

Also, if the Yorkshire puddings weren’t vegetarian and they didn’t state “we’re vegetarian,” when they asked for no meat sprinkles, it could be considered a whim.

If they’d wanted no meat because they’re vegetarian, they should have said “we’re vegetarian, can we have it without meat please?” He could then have said that the Yorkshire’s weren’t vegetarian anyway. But as they just asked for no meat sprinkles it could rightly be assumed they were just being picky.

I presume they asked for no gravy either?

I'd consider a request by a vegetarian to be served some of the meat eaters menu (without the meat) just because they fancied it, a whim.

The Yorkshire puddings were probably cooked in beef dripping or lard, so when your daughter asked for no meat she wouldn't have been able to have the yorkies as they were not vegetarian. We're the meat sprinkles pulled pork?

What's a pork sprinkle?!

Anyway. They don't want to be left with pork sprinkles with out Yorkshires.

And they wonder why they don't get any respect from children. Children deserve the same as adults. complain and ask for a refund.

Even if they're made with lard?

@smokey998

Jesus, why do people think that kids should just like it or lump it! adults wouldn't put up with that! It boils my piss when school do the whole..no juice only water..teachers don't just drink water all day. And they wonder why they don't get any respect from children. Children deserve the same as adults. complain and ask for a refund.

🤣🤣🤣

If the server was sprinkling he or she may have been concerned that some of the pork sprinkles went onto a rogue Yorkshire.

Also Yorkshire may have been cooked in beef lard.

What are meat sprinkles, is it some kind of finely ground up meat,of unknown type, like kitten food.,to just add flavour to the Yorkies.

@Aprilx

Meat sprinkles? 🧐

I love that this is the first response!

You are probably only allowed Yorkshire pudding if you have the Beef

Is it crackling?!

Children deserve the same as adults. complain and ask for a refund

Of course they do, but the OP hasn't said that her DD has been treated differently from the adults. And complain because her DD couldn't have one Yorkshire pudding? Really? After all the work and effort that goes into a residential trip?

Presumably they ate something? “Refused food” sounds rather dramatic. I’d guess the Yorkshire puss were cooked in animal fat.

Mine at that age did an outward bound trip in Ardennes. She told me they hiked 40 miles and slept in a barn with farting boys. Apparently they had a boiled egg and 2 slices of bread between 6 of them. She returned home alive and wanted to go again so I didn't automatically think to go in all guns blazing that she'd been starved or deprived in any substantial way.

@1forAll74
I read your post quickly and thought you meant ground up kittens were the meat sprinkles

@TheKeatingFive
then he just needed to say "fyi they are not veggie"

Children, like adults can and should be treated with respect...it's not too much to ask.

Really? I’m assuming she had other food to eat. She wasn’t just made to sit in a corner with an empty plate.
School staff have given up their time for no extra pay and all you are worried about is that for one meal she didn’t get a Yorkshire pudding.
Yes it’s annoying but it’s really nothing to get worked up about.

Is your daughter vegetarian? Does it really matter? Sorry couldn't get worked up about this, she wasn't refused food she chose not to take what was offered.

then he just needed to say "fyi they are not veggie"

Maybe he did say that. Which is why the OP isn't going to get an answer from AIBU and should contact the venue if she really needs to know.

Presumably there was something else she could eat, meaning that they did in fact "cater for all diets" and did not actually "refuse her food"?

@BalloonSlayer

Maybe the puddings were cooked in lard so server assumed that they wouldn't want them if they didn't want the meat sprinkles.

Not everyone is vegetarian for ethical reasons. My friend doesn't eat meat because she doesn't like the taste, she have no issue with this

Children, like adults can and should be treated with respect...it's not too much to ask.

There's no evidence that the OP's daughter was treated any differently to how an adult would have been.

Pork sprinkles? I’d be very surprised if it was pork.That would rule out that item of food being eaten by vegetarian, Jewish and Muslim residents.

Maybe they asked them in a really rude way.
