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?

You're called Badgerwithrice!

^^

Yes. She changed her name

You're called Badgerwithrice!

What an amazing coincidence!

I was inspired by your marvellous thread Op. it was that, or Sett menu.

You can charge your phone in the library?

Well apparently you can steam badger for 4 hours in the woods then eat it in a museum, so fuck it, yeah, why not? 🤷‍♀️

I love this thread! I normally hate the made up threads because they try to hard, the OP has got the tone just right with this.

Haha I know someone like this! And he would probably totally convince kids that they were eating something funny...used to ay tricks all the time!

Anyone else googling badgers to try and find good badger puns?

Ffs choked at sett menu. DH just asked what I was laughing at then said I would rather eat beaver than badger

For what its worth I actually beleive OP, still think their dad might have been pulling their leg though, why would someone feed their kids a week old mingin bit of roadkill?!

I want to go to sleep, but I know this thread will get gone in the morning 😢😢😢😢

PLEEEEEEEEASE don't delete it, MNHQ. It's a wonderful thread.

This HAS to be a joke.. right?!😂😂 So funny, i woke DP up laughing and told him about this thread now he's muttering about badgers in his sleep.😂

Sett menu wins the Oscar from me.

I know this thread will get gone in the morning

More likely moved to Classics.

God that's it.

I was thinking of beaver all along

I wondered what was wrong with me

Why would they cull the thread????!!!

I need to know if it was badger and rice pudding? The milk in the rice pudding with a hint of nutmeg would cover up the tarmac scent from road kill that even 4 hours of steaming won’t shift.

Or maybe it was a Honey badger? They are naturally a sweeter meat than the black and white ones, due to the honey. Although raw black and white badger can be minty, like an Everton mint so that wouldn’t work too well in a rice pudding.

Or maybe it was a Honey badger?

Unlikely for Hertfordshire roadkill.

Oh, please, please, please do go to the GP. Morale is at an all time low, and this would not only make their day, but potentially give them a lifetime best in "weirdest complaint coded".

I wouldn’t bother asking the GP. They know badger all about this type of thing.

And this is why I don't want to specialise as a GP.

Badass cornflake badgers

Maybe Errol he got discarded honey badger innards from the NHM whilst the body was being stuffed for display? Plausible.

Who is going to tell Ratty, Mr Toad and Mole?????

I love this thread, and if true and ex wasn’t pranking the boys, I think the badger ratings boys and the badger cooking homeless father with Tupperware awesome!

Who is going to tell Ratty, Mr Toad and Mole?????

Probably too late to issue a warning.

Simmer with courgettes, peppers etc for nice Rat-a-touille; Toad has obviously in the Hole; and then add a classic Mexican sauce for Mole mole.

@HarrietKettleWasHere

It’s weird as OP has a very banal posting history, then went rogue with badger and rice.

The above and sett menu made my day

As did the OP's cheerful surprise with @BadgerAndRice 's username
