Were they allowed to eat at other people's houses? Or did you send them everywhere with a picnic? :rotfl:

They did eat at friends' houses - I was not that over-protective! If we ate when we were out it was chips or something like that. Call me paranoid, but I had a ham sandwich with a bone in it once, and I thought that would be safe! It's about balance and the ability of kids to deal with the food they are given.

I don't know what is more horrifying - the news that chickens have bones are that 3 year old are getting Tesco Finest sandwiches.

This is clearly a serious health and safety risk.
I think that something should be banned.
At least some very large signs and self-important people telling you not to do things.
Maybe the tax payer could fund "meat product based sandwich safety concern advisory officers" and produce a diversity action plan?
They'd need a special quango too. "Institute for promoting standards of excellence in consumer safety relations".

Job jobbed.

I think we should form a pressure group to achieve this laudable aim. I nominate you for chair, I am volunteering for secretary and I think Student Phil and Fifer can be joint treasurers. We should apply for funding ASAP.

We all feel responsible for our children and do our upmost that they shouldn't come to any harm. It must have been a shock and maybe Tescos should have been more caring when you rang. After all we are constantly told how careful they are at preparing our food, the sandwich was even made by hand i.e. a slower and more careful process.

The trouble today is we rely on others too much, thinking that the sandwick was made with the same care as you would have made it. I remember when my child was a baby and she was sick after having some juice another mother said to me 'did you try it?' No came the reply - when I did, it tasted foul, I would have been sick.

We need to realise the buck stops with us. Tescos staff should have been a little more caring but this is just the world we live in and we have to learn to watch out.

Bone found in chicken? Maybe you should start making your son squid sandwiches from now on.

Actually, squids have a bone, it's a long, flat, clear thing that looks like a piece of plastic, and when I briefly worked on a fish counter I frequently had to deal with customers ranting on about how disgraceful it was that a piece of plastic had gotten into the squid :rolleyes:

Here's the bone:

Bones are sometimes left in as the processor may use a machine to extract the meat from the birds. How else can they manufacture this for £3 odd?

I personally would use the remains of my Sunday lunch to make a chicken sarnie, not the processed stuff you see on some supermarket shelves.

If you want a hand carved chicken sandwich then buy a chicken (preferably free range), cook it and carve it yourself

that's there Shell, some things have the shell on the inside, squids, cuttlefish and a few others. I just googled and a squid's shell is called a pen, I supose it looks a bit like one and they do make ink.
