To ask if this is the done thing?

[PinkRiceKrispies]

Cooking up chicken goujons and placing them in a freezer bag. Then collecting teenage daughter from school, going on the bus and then eating said goujons on the way home.
Lighthearted thread but saw this exact thing the other day and wondered if other parents did it.

So bringing a snack essentially?

Eating when you are hungry.... yes, I'd say that's the done thing in general.

Eating a snack on public transport is very normal, yes.

Scandal!!!

Sounds perfectly normal and a lot less hassle than doing the crudités and hummus dip I’ve seen some people on the bus try and give their children - always ends up a mess!!

In the summer, dh used to wrap an ice lolly in foil and give it to ds, when he finished school, to eat in the car on the way home.

So confused op. Do you think folks shouldn’t be able to eat on the bus?

Did they freeze them in the freezer bag before eating them on the bus? That would be quite unusual...

How do you know they were heading home and not straight off to a club?

My dc gets a peanut butter sandwich between school and piano. I'm in bmw not a bus. Is that more acceptable?

Eat when you’re hungry
Drink when you’re dry

"Cooking up"?
What did that mean?

The food isn't the unusual thing in that scenario. I would say its picking up a teenager from school to get the bus home, unless there are particular needs.

Seems like a good option, especially in between activities.

I’ve seen some weird threads in here, but “is it the done thing if a kid has a snack on way back from school on the bus”, is one of the oddest.

Is it any different than cooking a sausage roll or mini sausages or making a sandwich?

It's just a snack.

Op did you vote you weren’t being unreasonable?😂

Or did she fry them off?

It's cheaper than a trip to Macdonalds for chicken nuggets.

I said it was lighthearted, just surprised me that's all!

Surely it’s just the same as having a packed lunch or snack? I don’t think what the contents is matters, as we all have different tastes, so I think it’s quite usual.

I refrigerated chicken goujons in school bag for 8 hours? Gross.
In a thermos, so what.

I take mine a snack

Not much difference between that and eating a KFC on the bus. Just cheaper.

M&S sells cooked chicken bites in its picnic section...

If its good enough for M&S!

I once saw a woman eating a yogurt on a train.
