so this sausage roll thing?

73 replies

i was just wondering is it the eating of the sausage roll that is bad or the eating in the buggy that is bad? would it be ok to give ds organic carrot sticks in his buggy?

do you mean those things that are like wotsits? Ds has never gagged on them (bound to today now though ) but I don't give him anything to eat in buggy just in case. Also have horrible snobbishness about eating while walking along - strictly speaking a buggy probably counts though

southeastastra · 13/03/2007 09:15

no it's illegal

deaconblue · 13/03/2007 11:28

It's illegal to give your child a bite of sausage roll in a pram? Shoppingbags imagines the sausage roll police coming to arrest nappyaddict...

i'm still lost!! is it the eating in the buggy as a whole that is deemed so terrible then or just sausage rolls cos they are plain nasty.

I think it's the eating in the buggy as well as it being a sausage roll.

I got all paranoid that it was me as I used to go out once a week in my then home town with dd sat in her scruffy buggy and I'd give her a sausage roll which she'd eat with me and get all the bits all over her.

Some judgementalists deemed this sight to be highly offensive and common and started a thread all about it! They later retracted it saying it was a joke, which it was, in a kind of HUGELY judgemental way!

deaconblue · 13/03/2007 17:00

For me it's eating in the buggy BUT sausage rolls do repulse me too. I think it's the image of minging babies feeding themselves coke in a bottle in their buggies that does it

Saturn74 · 13/03/2007 17:04

"minging babies"

Ah, it's nice to read yet another thread that demonstrates the lovely non-judgemental world of motherhood!

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 13/03/2007 17:06

If you spend long enough on mumsnet you can pretty much get paranoid about every aspect of your life you hadn't previously given a second thought to...

LadyOfTheFlowers · 13/03/2007 17:07

i think it is more linked with:

'eat your dinner up'

as the child is handed the minging sausage roll. tht's my take on it anyway.

so shopping bags .... you don't even like to see children eating in buggies if it is a nice healthy apple or the like? not getting at you btw just interested in what people think.

Guess what repulses me then? Babies kitted out in designer gear to match mummy and daddy and the designer buggy of course.

Mothers who give you filthy looks if you smile and wave at their children.

At least the kids with coke in their bottles have mothers who will sit and chat to you and don't suffer from any kind of pretensions.

The whole sausage roll thing got out of hand because of judgementalists, let's not start it all again!

sorry i am not trying to start anything, i really was just curious.

agree with lady

LadyOfTheFlowers · 13/03/2007 17:12

ds eats grapes and bananas and the like in the buggy and old ladies smile at me!
i'm gonna get shot but it seems no-one else has the gaul to say it....
it seems a bit chavvy i think. on a thread about young nums being shunned, i am young btw, i agreed with the post someone made about not getting on with other young mums as they dont seem to look after their children the way i do, or are not as interested in their kids as i am.
our town is full of young girls with buggies and sausage rolls.
i think it is linked to this image?

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 13/03/2007 17:13

Nobody cares about eating in the street in France, home of gastronomy, do they?

I don't really know what the problem is. I enjoy the odd sausage roll and so do my DDs but it is not our staple diet, so why is it anyone's business if we indulge now and again?

Worry about something more important.

LadyOfTheFlowers · 13/03/2007 17:14

i dont wantto start anything.
i am trying to explain where i think the sausage roll phobia came from as i understand it.

nappyaddict · 13/03/2007 17:15

was that me or someone else? i made a post about not getting on with other young mums cos they think i'm loopy cos i wear my baby, use cloth nappies, feed him organic fruit and veg and BLW.

I wasn't a young mum when I fed my dd sausage rolls in her buggy.

S'ok nappy addict, just talking generally!

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 13/03/2007 17:21

This has become a sausage roll baby = scummy teenage mother who doesn't care about her baby

vs
Organic fruit baby = conscientious, possibly lentil-weaving earth mother

debate.

People are more complex than that. Most of what is in my fridge is organic/fairtrade/ethically and seasonally produced

BUT

I also like sausage rolls now and again.

Don't judge, that's all.

p.s Not trying to be incendiary or argumentative, but these threads crop up too often.

ok i am beginning to regret starting this thread. i was just trying to find out what the original sausage roll thing was about cos i wasn't around then. i was just confused as to whether it was "scummy" to let your child eat in the buggy full stop, or whether it was just sausage rolls. i am not against teenage mothers in any way - i am one!

Kelly1978 · 13/03/2007 17:44

i weave my own sausage rolls and I fed them to the boys in the car adn there were pastry crumbs everywhere

I'm past caring about it. How do you know that these young teenage mums haven't loving handmade their sausage rolls with butchers best pork anyway?

BizzyDint · 13/03/2007 17:45

cos they are usually held in a greasy greggs bag.

deaconblue · 13/03/2007 18:56

For me, it just goes back to having a snobby mum who wouldn't let us eat in the street so I don't like to see babies eating in buggies. I hold up my hands and admit to snobbishness. By the way, my kid doesn't have designer gear or buggy and I do chat to anyone who smiles at me or my baby
