To find the idea of a sausage roll for breakfast strange?

[Notgreggs]

Am not sure if it's just me tbh, so happy to be told AIBU!

I was out for lunch with my sister and she was telling me that her daughter (who has SATs) is being given a special breakfast at school every day and their choice for the breakfast was either a sausage roll or for vegetarians a cheese roll (ie. Cheese in pastry). I think there was a vegan option too.

Maybe it's just me but I can't imagine having a sausage roll /cheese roll for breakfast. But then I guess a cooked breakfast is sausage and bacon etc and I guess you get things like danish pastries for breakfast.... I guess I just wasn't expecting it! It's nice of the school to do that for them though, apparently my niece was looking forward to it (she was just a bit confused by the choice of food too I think which is why my sister was telling me the story)

One meal does not make a diet, balanced or otherwise. I'm sure that the aim is to get them to school on time and prevent them from being hungry. Box ticked.

Exactly. Ensuring they all get a balanced diet is a much, much bigger job beyond the scope of the school.

But the school plays a role. I just think it’s odd that they can’t give them a good breakfast before an exam.

DS eats all sorts at breakfast - yesterday he had a steak slice

Often it's leftovers from the previous day, so maybe chilli, curry, spag bol, chicken and rice etc.

He's paranoid about eating at school for fear of food getting stuck in his brace so he eats "interesting things" at breakfast and takes a small boring lunch that he doesn't always eat

Who would prepare that and how would it be paid for?

my 3 year old just has mac and cheese for breakfast at 8am 🤔

Sausage roll is an elite breakfast

@CaptainMyCaptain- That is just what I'd add to my sausage roll breakfast. I wasn't suggesting the school add beans.
