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?

I had provided them with a packed lunch but 'itswinetime', you have a fair comment about why I am on here rather than just going to the doctor. I should probably just do that. After all this though I am wondering if he will believe me!

Still we mustn't badger the op.

@NoerthenderNamechanger it may well be, but I'm not eating it to find out. I don't even eat goat and that's a traditional food where my nan was from.

If that's right, just what was in those Tupperware boxes? - I smell a rat...

Sett Menu is amazing - bravo that poster

So, id he brought it with him it was cold Badger With Rice

?!?

I can't imagine that would be anything other than rank

YANBU if true and you aren't even U if lying because hilarious

Mind you I'm surprised it wasn't mashed potato

This week we've argued over if you can have rice with roast dinners

Now you're bringing mashed potatoes into it

Ummm what? Wtf is happening on here tonight?!

I’m very intrigued about he managed to prepare a feast of steamed badger whilst being homeless

This is the best sentence I've ever read.

The ex probably charges his phone in librarys etc like all the other phone owning people do

I own a phone and I've never charged it at a library

So your packed lunch was returned uneaten? The kids chose to eaten unknown food over a lunch packed by mum who knows what they like??

Again either some one is pulling your leg or your kids don't like your cooking/are every adventurous!

How old are you kids?

I did say to the kids that it must have been cold, and they just shrugged and said it was a bit warm.

To be honest I’d be more concerned about the cold rice for next time:

Why did your ex send you a pic of a dead badger? Was it a black and white pic?

Badger & rice

They are 7 and 9, and very good eaters!

At least he didn’t cook em toad-in-the-hole!

If it wasn't served with mash potatoes Pawnee I would have massive issue everyone knows Badger loves mash potato

we are not really on speaking terms (texts only)

He had sent me a picture a few days earlier of a dead badger

This sounds like a worrying relationship

So they ate your lunch and his?

He brought it with him, yes, probably in tupperware.

This is probably definitely a real thing that really happened.

You can charge your phone in the library?

Yes, rice stood be chilled after cooking and not reheated. Luckily they didn't get rice poisoning. Badgerwithrice. You're called Badgerwithrice!

Yeah, I agree Bruegel - if someone I wasn't really on speaking terms with randomly sent me a picture of a dead badger I'd be somewhat perturbed.

I'm sure my dachshund would think badger and rice was delicious.

Is it like eating Swan?

I'm from the north BTW
