to insist my children eat a chocolate biscuit bar nicely

[displayuntilbestbefore]

eg not nibbling along the edge then taking the top layer off with their teeth so they are left with the middle bit, all shiny with saliva and yucky?

im going against the grain

yanbu - it drives me insane when my dc nibble biscuits/crumble cakes,disect custard creams and eat top layer then lick the cream off etc

i ask them to eat it properly

YABU, you'd hate to see me eat a crunchie! I nibble all the chocolate off the sides and then the bottom and then the top

Now stirring jelly till it's mushy, that gies me the boak!

At times I like to:

Stir jam into rice pud
Stir ice cream until its runny
Stir jelly and ice cream /condensed milk until its a whole different texture
Eat everything with layers in many stages.
Mix up anything with mashed potatoes so its all mixed in -then flatten it out to form a 'pie' then cut the 'pie' into segments to eat one by one.

All strictly in private though.

When I was a child I eked out chocolate by letting it melt onto my fingers and then licked said fingers. I dont do this now though.I'm almost housetrained

rofl at responses especially the really serious ones who think I am some sort of meal police!
Thank you blondeshavemorefun for saying I'm not the only person who finds this a bit wince-inducing! I am convinced we are not the only people who feel this way!

fwiw
I have been known to scoop peas and don't burst a blood vessel if dcs do the same (although in polite company we try and curb it a bit)
My dcs always mix their icecream until it's a runny slop and it doesn't bother me one bit.
We mix not only jam into rice pudding but quite often we put in drinking chocolate powder for choccie rice pudding
But the biscuit bar thing, nibbling round sides, nibbling off tops a la Lomond's description, leaving the middle bit in chocolate smeared paws, a poor specimen of foodstuff that makes me grit my teeth and want to shout out "Eeugh, eat it properly!"

Jam and rice pudding should never meet... there should be a law against it.

hi fives display

if nothing else, the biscuit/cake crumbles and then there is wastage of crumbs lol

lol Blondes {grin]

We must set up a club forthwith as we're currently outnumbered by the greasy nibblers

YANBU, I am really mean, I don't give children chocolate biscuits in my house, ever! They can have them when they know how to eat them properly, rich tea fingers all the way for my mindies ( IF they get biscuits, as I am too busy cramming their 5 a day into them, fruit that is, not biscuits!)

If you think that's gross, you should see me eat a creme egg!

I'd avoid looking at them to be honest. It's gross, but one of life's little pleasures.

So, to summarise, YABU.

yah, for ali - a 3rd one to join our club

OK, 3 and counting....!
