Top secret report filed by Chief Commandant of the Food Nazis concerning children's party food.

[moondog]

Went to one today.

One kid did nowt but shout 'Fruit Shoot' (or rather 'foo shoo') until his mother caved in and gave him one.

Another spent the entire time having sausage rolls(!) wrestled out of his hand by his mother 'because his dad doesn't want him to eat pork' (Muslim)
She then told us proudly of all the Christian prayers he had learnt in school and looked mystified when I suggested he didn't sing them to his dad.

Third one wouldn't eat anything,although his dad tried to get him to,prefacing every offering with 'It tastes just like chicken nuggets.You love those.'

Oh,and I confiscated the party bag offerings.

ahhh smugsnet.

Sausage roll anyone?

I'll have some popcorn, thank you JJ

LMFAO cod

I am now in fits, imagining MD skulking round picnics, packed lunch events and parties like a bad Austin Powers spy muttering into a tape recorder and making a list in green biro to send to jamie oliver! Noting down the main offenders from the 'what has your child eaten today' thread, jotting 'blu 2 Kustad kveams' in invisible ink in a little notebook...Ladies lock your doors and scramble the message on your answering machine.

Cod - trust you ro recognise spy when you see one

Of course I make no mention of my dh who has savaged the white wine ce soir........

eh?

Is 'ce soir' a code?

no
Just being a smart arse.I dispose of the Mars bars in party bags,while dh chugs down the vino.

NotQuiteCockney, funny you should say that, it was in Canada(visiting her sis and family)! It was an posh private school too. My cousins get only 'pure' food at home, so I LMAO when the kids visited last year and repeatedly told me how great their plane meals were on the way here!

personally, my kids eats pretty healthy food 90% of the day, so I dont mind her having some junk, tho I very rarely buy it (for the sake of my waistline(or lack of), more than for her sake )

never had a proper party for her, so cant comment, but we did go to pizza hut with my friend and her kids for her last birthday...eva spat pizza out tho and ended up just eating stuff from salad bar...mainly sweetcorn and carrot...hmmm

Well said fishter - blimey

I like moondog's food snobbery threads, they make me pmsl

When I was waiting for a bus yesterday I saw twin girls of about 18mo in a double buggy, with no socks and shoes on, grubby little feet and matching jumbo sausage rolls. There was pastry everywhere and they were grunting with pleasure as they wolfed it down I was sniggering all the way home on the bus.

It's a JOKE ffs. It's not SERIOUS. Sheesh.

Its really easy to be rude (because that's what you are being!) about other peoples kids and what they will and won't eat - sure I would have done it a couple of years ago as DD ate everything but DS only eats a very limited diet - mostly sausage and chips - and I have starved him for 4 days to try and eat other things. And being allergic to a range of things doesn't help either!!

So please please all you pleople that feed your kid opasta and houmous in their lunchboxes and only give raw veg and poached salmon at parties spare a thought about people that can't do that - either because their child is just a pain in the arse when it comes to food or has allergies.

And if I had heard you offer my child a piece of quiche instead of a party bag I would have taken you to be rude and pastronising to a chi8ld and that's just not NICE!!

tbh I think everyone stresses too much about party food and what the kids do or don't eat there. They are far more liekly to make demands of their own parents than those of the host of left. For most parties the timing falls such that it is unlikely to be their main meal of the day, more of a snack.

At dd's party I did a selection of ham and cheese spread rolls, sausages, cheese and pineapple, cucumber, tomatoes and grapes, and crisps/cheesy puffs. Then choccy fingers and fairy cake. Most picked at a selection of this and seemed very happy ! They played, they got their party bags and went home tired - job done

Agree about Blu, and special mentions to cod and GdG too

I just cannot decide how serious you are about all this moondog, unaccumstomed as I am to trawling the food threads.

Does is really upset and anger you on a deep level? It is angst that is causing you to post here, a desperate attempt to let go of those negative, damaging emotions?
