To think it was obvious they were for the kids??

DS is having a little play date today, low key birthday “party” but DS doesn’t really do parties so it’s more of a gloried play date.
Yesterday I did some baking … 8 sausage rolls, 8 scotch eggs, 8 jam slags and 8 chocolate brownies.

Came down this morning and most of it is gone, I text DH asking if he’d touched the baking and he said yes, he’d taken it for work.

im fuming, isn’t it fucking obvious that they were for the kids for today?? He’s insisting that it was not obvious. This is not the first time he’s done something like this.

Are these Jam Slags?

No, those are Jam Prudes.

LuluBlakey1 · 01/06/2024 22:32

Does anyone have a photo of a Jam Slag or Jam Slags?

Peachy2005 · 01/06/2024 22:38

Nope the Internet has nothing…i tried jam slags, Paul hollywood jam tarts, mary berry jam tarts, large jam tarts, large jam tarts with jam ball on top, image searches etc…

This appears to be a unique invention of the family of OP@Birump 😂

CowboyJoanna · 01/06/2024 22:39

YANBU your husband is a greedy twat

YABVVVVVU for calling them jam slags

Right, here we go! After several iterations I think I have produced something worthy of the name 'jam harlots'. Essentially a sort of double-walled freestanding jam tart. Instead of pastry, I used the same biscuit dough I use for stained glass biscuits (it's very buttery and very forgiving). For some unaccountable reason, the posting interface is inviting me to mark these as 'sensitive images'? I can't think why.

(To be absolutely clear, these are not jam slags. I've just taken the opportunity to have a little too much fun. And, at this point, far too much jam...)

You are my hero 👏

Blondeerror · 01/06/2024 22:46

So greedy and thoughtless, I’d be fuming.

Blondeerror · 01/06/2024 22:46

Yes it’s obvious the food was prepared for the kids

Sellingbedtime · 01/06/2024 22:53

Next week there will be jam slags in every Greggs around the country.

azlazee1 · 01/06/2024 23:03

Next time, leave a note any time your baking is for another's benefit. If he still takes the food, you have a serious problem with your partner.

katebushh · 01/06/2024 23:06

No fucking way did he think they were for him to take, absolute bullshit of the highest stinkiest degree.

I'd pack his bags!

WorthyPinkBee · 01/06/2024 23:06

Common sense would be to tell your partner? Talking helps!

Shareaway11 · 01/06/2024 23:10

I voted you are not being unreasonable of course but wtf are Jam slags 😂😂

Ifyoucouldreadmymindlove · 01/06/2024 23:43

Deliberately you say?

What an absolute cunt.

idkbroidk · 01/06/2024 23:45

he's a greedy, selfish pig and i can honestly say for the first time in my life - ltb.

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/06/2024 23:50

We used to call jam slags nipple cakes

To think it was obvious they were for the kids??
HuckleberryBlackcurrant · 01/06/2024 23:57

It would be bad enough if you'd bought them, but you took time to MAKE them. I would be furious. Selfish man.

WafflesOrIceCream · 02/06/2024 00:14

What a big over grown baby he is!!

Wheeder · 02/06/2024 00:16

Oh my god. I’d be so hurt.

Apricot obvs

Apricot jam doesn't deserve to be called jam.

Jam is ALWAYS raspberry. With seeds.

I seriously doubt it's your first.

Divorce over a few sausage rolls.

Now that's Peak Mumsnet. 😀😀

Birump · 01/06/2024 14:51

Yes that’s it! ☺️

@Birump I hope you update us with your DH's "reasoning explanation".

Mine would be doing his own laundry and own food cooking for the next couple of weeks. I really dislike men who think what they "want" is the only important consideration in life.

Mothership4two · 02/06/2024 02:20

Agree with @Nanaof1. I wouldn't be cooking for him for a while, put him on a diet after all that fattening pastry
