I picked DGD up yesterday after a mooch around the shops with her friends after school. It was around 5 pm. At 7 pm I asked her what she had made in Food Tech at school. Chicken nuggets. What?? Surely they shouldn't have been sitting in her school bag all day since the first lesson on the timetable? Are they trying to make everyone ill?

I remember a stew slopping out through a none too tight casserole lid into my school bag on the way home!
(Did it have autumn flowers on the side?)

DGSโ€™ class made cookies at school. He took a box to bring them home in.
By the time theyโ€™d shared them out, all we got was crumbs. No chance of them going off.

Maybe the fridges were stuffed full of products and it was just poor organisation on this day?

Or maybe your DGD had reasons for not wanting to return to the food room to collect her product at the end of day. Lack of time maybe?

It would definitely be appropriate to contact the school if there are concerns about hygiene.
Ingredients are often expensive for the average family budget.

Perhaps the food tech teacher has a supply of all the preservatives that manufacturers put in commercially made โ€”crapโ€” food rendering the chicken nuggets safe for millennia. grin

Ridiculous!

I'm sure it was like this Mollygo with a lid.
1970s.

Lesson ended at 10.20 am
School out at 3.20 pm
Shopping until 5.30 pmish
7 pm by the time I asked the question, (alerted by the dog gleefully running round with the empty zip lock plastic bag in his mouth)!

Long day for some chicken nuggets!

I am equally astounded that she was carrying them about - pleased they had cooked them and not just prepared them though!

Did DGD eat them?

Canโ€™t be too careful with chicken. I think I would have ditched them.

I remember one girl on the school bus with rice pudding she had made in school. It was a lime green colour and we asked what she was going to do with it. โ€œOh my dad will eat itโ€ she said with great confidence. Her dad was the vicar so I guess it put his faith to the test!
