My kids' dad fed them badger

[Loulamummy]

I'm not joking. We are separated and he sees them for the day once every few weeks. Last week he took them for the day in London and when I picked them up they told me, very casually, that Daddy had given them badger with rice for lunch. He had sent me a picture a few days earlier of a dead badger so it is totally plausible, and given that he has been homeless for the last couple of years and often 'lives off the land' I am certain he would not think twice about eating a badger. He told the kids that he steamed the meat for 4hrs but now i'm really worried about the whole TB thing. They seem fine but not sure if I should get them checked out. Any words of wisdom?

Ah @Judashascomeintosomemoney Winter is coming and everyone knows that's the time to eat badger.

OP...are you Sharon? Is your exH doing a T-Rex in the supermarket aisle somewhere?

Does your dp do that survivalist shit op?

Where did he get enough water to steam anything for 4 hours in the woods?

And, more to the point, why am I even playing along with this nonsense.

So what happened, he brought the badger and rice in a tupperware?

And if he's homeless and lives in the woods, how did he take a picture of the dead badger to send you? Does his camp have a phone charger?

Is he HFW?

If so, it's OK

Sett menu

Maybe he paid for the 'Sett' menu? See what I did, there?

You can't make this shit up

I thought I was drunk but man feeds badger to kids?

If it was the other way round then you'd know you were drunk

Oh yeah, Harriet

I remember my name telling us curried crab claws were frogs legs. Maybe be your dp was chatting shit op?

*my nan

I think it sounds quite sweet, I am imagining your ex in his Hertfordshire based bender with his collection action of Tupperware and a phone charging point.

This has made my night. Perhaps even my week.

What??? No BBQ sauce?

Disgrace.

Brian May will not approve of this...

Tell him to come here and share the recipe, it could become the famous mumsnet badger that lasts a whole family a week.

He’s certainly earnt his stripes with this one.

Am I a terrible person that a small part of me is wondering what badger tastes like?

Not that I would ever eat roadkill or something found dead. Poor old Stripey. :(

And some people struggle to get their kids to eat broccoli ...

TB or not TB?
That is the question.

Did it taste like chicken? That seems to be what all unusual meat is described as tasting like.

As far as off-piste cookery skills go I’d say your ex has earned his stripes.
