Genuine Question about sausage rolls...

[quootiepie]

Hiya...
This is probably the wrong place to put this but why is there so many references to sausage rolls? Am I missing something?

Because some people think sausage rolls are the food of the devil and shoving one in your child's mouth (worst of all, shoving one in thier mouth while they are in their buggy...you have to take their dummy out first, obviously, and take away their Fruit Shoot so it doesn't get covered in flaky pastry) is akin to strapping them to your 4x4's bull bars and driving to school to park on the zig zag lines while blindfolded.

chavtastic answer there from moo

Because posh people use slings and you cant give a toddler a sausage roll in a sling as it will crumble in your cleavage.
Therefore sausage rolls, especially in a buggy is beneath them.

The sausage roll thing crept up on me, too. Is there an Original Sausage Roll Thread?

It's a joke, quootie. Nobody actually thinks they are the food of the devil. It's just a shorthand joke about "slack parenting" and the supposed sanctimonious uber mums who disapprove of them.

ROFL charliecat

you underestimate the hours of fun picking warm flaky pastry out of your bra when you think no-one's looking

Licking surely much more fun, greeny?

God, you must have a tongue like a gecko

Yep, actually have just grossed myself out there...

Once...I found a goblet of chewing gum in my large cleavage

I have a 4x4 But I dont use dummies

A goblet of chewing gum?

Sorry....pedant, I know....but it was an unusually amusing spoonerism charliecat

If we are going to be pedantic that was a malapropism not a spoonerism Greeny

But I make lovely sausage rolls at Xmas. Much in demand

Oh, fuck off Franny

um I don't think the have a 4x4 but don't use dummies argument stacks up incredibly well .. especially not on mumsnet

I made a giant sausage roll today

(If you make your own sausage rolls with Nigella's recipe, use farm reared organic pork, and call them pigs in blankets though, that's fine. It's all a question of degree).

I thought that it was only Greggs sausage rolls that were unacceptable

aaaaaaaaaaaah, but i use the 4x4 to tow the horse trailer.

iota, all sausage rolls have been tarred by the greggs brush,iykwim

Oh - so Iceland frozen "I can't believe it's not trotters" sausage meat & Jus-Roll puff pastry doesn't count as "gour-may" then??

Bugger!
