I am so thankful to be in the non-kid food camp, too.<br /><br />We went to a birthday party a couple of months ago. I told the girls there would like be pizza there. Instead (for three-year olds, mind you), there was a huge tray of chicken nuggets, potato chips, and juice boxes.<br /><br />Because it was supper time, and they were playing hard, I got our girls a plate with chicken and chips, thankful I'd brought cups of water from home.<br /><br />They wouldn't touch any of it! :) For "supper" that night, they had water and some birthday cake. They were almost in tears, as I promised we'd have fruit and cheese when we got home. It was bedtime for them by that time, but they each scarfed down an entire banana, some cheese, and a huge glass of milk.<br /><br />When we go to restaurants, I always tell the hostess that we don't need the children's menu. Oh, and don't bring the crayons, either. We don't play with toys at the table. :) :)MandyE (Twin Trials and Triumphs)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02510155408149227364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906296904233700630.post-91133588482104105782010-09-07T20:57:12.302-04:002010-09-07T20:57:12.302-04:00This begs to as the question, "What do Indian...This begs to as the question, "What do Indian children eat?". Possibly the reason why there are so many starving children in India.OJShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678947745284731740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906296904233700630.post-67263665406105287052010-08-31T09:35:19.347-04:002010-08-31T09:35:19.347-04:00My kids will enjoy the menu at Mary & Kate'...My kids will enjoy the menu at Mary & Kate's party! (Provided the salsa is mild.) Although L & S don't have quite the palates of M&K, I empathize with you. We were recently at Uncommon Ground and I was so disappointed in their kids menu. I really expected so much more from them. <br /><br />I just don't understand why Americans expect their kids to eat food with such simplified flavors. Other cultures don't do it, and I know my parents didn't get fed "kid food" as kids. How did we get here?Marienoreply@blogger.com
