School and other dinners

[lady_of_clunn]

Ask an average seven-year-old child what they would like for tea and you will most probably hear:

"Chips!"

"Spaghetti!"

"Chocolate!"

"Chips!"


This is what Tania told me:

"Poached salmon with potatoes and vegetables."

"..."

And as an afterthought:

"With dill sauce."

Vot?

I had no idea just how much school dinners improved since Jamie Oliver has taken matters in hand...

She's developed good taste already! No big surprise with you as her mama!

Strange thing is, I am not overly fond of salmon.

Maybe it's that salmon fish finger add where the salmon fish finger strips down to her pink insides for two regular fish fingers.

When they faint, Tania can hardly contain herself.

That's awesome, she's so refined :) You're raising a real heart breaker, I just know it.

Sounds kinda high maintenance, huh?

But appreciating fine food is always a good thing.

I was a bit thrown by the dill sauce...

[marmaladefever.livejournal.com]

XD Wow.

[lady-of-clunn.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

I was so shocked that I didn't even ask where she got that idea from, I just went to the shop and brought it for her.

Hahaha impressive!

She actually complains that there is no salad and tomatoes and gherkins on a kid's hamburger when we go to a fast food place. None of us likes it, so that only happens about twice a year.

And in restaurants she likes to order salad.

And eats it.

She has a really good taste with foods!

Thank goodness!

I always watch other mums struggle with their kids demanding rice with ketchup or chips with ketchup or one kid actually only eats pasta without anything (can't be healthy).

I am really lucky.

Normally I'd ask what you're feeding her, but she's already told us that!

A little foodie in the making.

[lady-of-clunn.livejournal.com]

That's just it.

We do eat these kinds of things when it's just the two of us, but when my husband's home, we usually cook biryani or some sort of curry (she loves chapatti).

I am happy that she eats non-junk food without complaining, but to request it? We must have done something right.
