I WOUDL BE GRATEFUL IS PEOPLE WOULD STOP OFFERING SHITTY FOOD AT BIRTHDAY PARTIES.! Thank u kindly!

[MintyandTink]

Having been to a few birthday parties since my little one was born I am quite shocked at the shit quality of the food being served at bday parties.

Shitty cocktail sausages- yuk, rancid carrot sticks, hard cheese just to provide some examples.

The thing that gets me is not the kind of food but the bloody quality... CRAPITTY CRAPITTY CRAP!

Rant over.

OMDB What are you willing to pay me?

homage? obeisance? many public and elaborate compliments which stress your personal beauty, charm and intellect?

TELL ME WHADDYA WANT!

many public and elaborate compliments would do nicely thanks! and I want to be in your quiche.

Now, what do you want to know? Who makes M&S handcooked potato crisps? Who also makes Waitrose's handcooked potato crisps?

Can you guess?

here's a clue: you probably have one in your kitchen

ooh ooh! Is it Rentokil?

No? Balls. It's a brand that's a thing, like Hoover? or am I completeley wrong. More clues.

yes yes think of an appliance that you probalby use every day in the kitchen. What's it called?

(you have rentokil in your kitchen?)

who makes posh expensive crisps?

Oh oh oh - Kettle crisps!!!!

Bingo!

...and the prize goes to love2bake!

They also make the own brand vegetable crisps and M&S's be good to yourself range of crisps.

what next?...hmm, let me think...

Yay - I never win at Bingo!!

But that they make M & S crisps.

I'm with Minty on this one but I'd never have the guts to say so on Mumsnet.

DOH!

Ms spaekle can I come next time, i like the sound of your party food.

lol it's not too surprising really love2bake, they retail at the same price as a packet of kettle crisps of the same size and are pretty much identical.

Dear Host
I don't care what you serve at your own child's birthday party, I know my child will love it as long as there is cake.

Thank you for inviting our daughter!

She so enjoys your child's company and loves to help others celebrate their birthdays.

I know some other childrens' mothers are really arsey about trivial things like a few cocktail sausages, but I hope you don't hold that against their poor kid, who hopefully escaped their I'm-a-tosser-guest gene.

Kind Regards
Even Foreigners Find the OP Rude

when mine were under 6 I would do,
chicken nuggets
jam tarts
veg sticks
mini pizza'a
fairy cakes
strawberries and cream
choc birthday cake.
sausage rolls
crisps
None of it looks healthy. BUT, My Gran made the Jam, I grew the fruit and veg and with the exception of the crisps it was all home made, mindyou that was because dd has a heck of a nut allergy and my mam, nan and I would rather make it between us than deal with an attack.

What would you suggest? Shop at Harrods for a 1yo birthday bash! FFS whatever next.

Oooo I will come to the Harrods food party....and I will bring my recyled gift

lol expat

I am hoping that MintyandTink is going to say what should be served at a party.

blimey buzzcocks, that is true devotion! To have food that looks like the fabulous shitty food that we all love, but is actually .. home made!

OMDB - damn!

rentokil was a joke.. kind of

But what else, what else? The only name-brand stuff I buy is breakfast cereal (DC's want free gifts) and things like Marmite rather than Sainsbury's Yeasto (or whatever candida-like name it has).

Am I right to do so?

not really I have a mixer, my nan had it worse she didn't, (because they are the devil you know ) made the cakes and Jam and I made the pizza's and nuggets, my mam made the sausage rolls.

I did it because a kid SHOULD have party food at THEIR birthday, anything less is cruel.
