Fully expect a huge flaming but I can take it.

Yesterday I was in M&S at the till and the woman next to me had a child in her pushchair who was about a year old. The woman handed the child a plastic container of food that she'd just paid for saying 'the lady says you can have this now' and the little girl stuck her hand in and started eating. It was a tub of 20 cocktail sausages.

Can we add this to Fruit Shoots and Greggs sausage rolls? Or because they were from M&S do they not count?

Couldn't survie in BumblingLand without hot dogs and sausages, cold or hot. Don't know how anyone else does.

Then again, we buy ours from Waitrose Donchano, so they must be fine.

laydeestardust · 10/03/2010 19:18

Now then, picking sausages out of a tub and eating them herself- hmm.... surely that counts as a Mumsnet Good Thing in a BLW kind of way?!

I think its fine-perhps twas the only slighly yukky thing she'd had all day, everything else being wholefoody organic Proper Virtuous Food.

My lot wouldn't eat them,(but then we don't eat any animals)but no judginess from me about it

ADealingMummy · 10/03/2010 19:19

actually this thread is brilliant . Well done op , some of the comments really made me laugh .

staranise · 10/03/2010 19:35

I saw a baby drinking Ribena out of a bottle on the bus the other day and stopped myself from mentally judging by anticipating the AIBU responses along the lines of this thread.

Afraid I can't see what the OP's objection is on this one.

So if you saw a child in a pushchair eating a bag of mini doughnuts would it be better or worse?

Thouht I'd better check in case I bump into you when I'm out shopping with DS. I'm the one pushing him whilst eating the full sized version

Before I get shot too, we do eat healthily normally but just love to have a naughty day when we are out

That wasn't a problem to me butthe bastards had stuck a crispy creme paper hat in her head.
that is crossing a line in my view.
bastards

Morloth · 10/03/2010 19:51

Depends, were they those little vienna type ones? Cause they are fucking delicious and it was quite selfish of her to give the kid the whole packet and not offer you one.

Seriously? You give a damn that someone gave their kid some sausages? I think you need to get out more.

EggyAllenPoe · 10/03/2010 19:51

what about falafel?

mine had Waitrose falafel for dinner yesterday (i'd hae done some rice to go with, but Dh couln't be arsed, and they're mostly potato anyway..)

Oblomov · 10/03/2010 19:53

sorry ladybiscuit. but seriously there are plenty of these types of thread that are serious, you know that don't you ?
people get in a tizz about eating grapes in a supermarket and all sorts.
let alone donuts in a wheelchair !!

Morloth · 10/03/2010 19:53

pagwatch DS always insists on getting one of those hats if we go to Krispy Kreme, he then wears it for the rest of any trip.

I love it when OPs attempt to make any flaming seem unfair by putting "letting the flaming begin" or some other such crap in their OP, like it can head it off at the pass.

pagwatch · 10/03/2010 19:55

at Morloth

I think once they are old enough to make the choice it is different.
Then you don't have to worry that you are being cruel, you just have to figure out how you failed.

Morloth · 10/03/2010 19:57

It is worse when he insists on wearing his stack hat as an accessory. You get a few looks then let me tell you.

lilyjen · 10/03/2010 19:57

You need to mind your own buisness because there's enough anxious parents out there who worry what other people think all the time that they can't just be themselves and do what they think it's best.

chegirlWILLbeserene · 10/03/2010 19:58

I am laughing proper at those worrying about toddlers being unhygenic

Have you actually met a toddler?

BTW I just eaten a whole packet of crunchie buscuits YUM.

LadyBiscuit · 10/03/2010 20:28

I couldn't give a stuff what people feed their children frankly - it was a shameless attempt to get cocktail sausages added to the cannon of things that MN disapproves of.

I've failed clearly

can you tell i havent got the hang of this yet?

muggglewump · 10/03/2010 20:54

Ewwww, I hate biscuits.

I ate 4 packs of Aldi's own make of cheese and onion pom bears.
Something or other mouses I think. Get that.

I bet I'll be banned from MN, because it was crisps from Aldi.
If it had been Le chip, from Le poncery french place, t'would've been a different matter.
Different I tells ya.

chegirlWILLbeserene · 10/03/2010 21:29

Jamieandhismagictorch · 10/03/2010 22:10
