[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you shop at Lidl, what are some of their best products that would make simple, easy to cook dinners for a college student?[/quote]

I literally cannot imagine my parents ever doing this kind of post. Your college student has access to the internet and is an adult. They can make their own food choices. [/quote]

It's not a huge deal but this was kinda my first thought too. All the PPs defending this post seem to be missing the point. They are saying things like "Parents help kids out!" Or "It's traditional to teach kids how to cook" or whatever.

And yeah? But the OP itself is literally asking an Internet forum on behalf of the college student. Googling or crowdsourcing online is something I guarantee the 19 year old can do for himself.

Now, I can see that OP then took her son to Lidl to scope it out together (I'm assuming that's the "we?") And that's great. But the post itself, by itself-- which is what we were responding to initially-- was eyebrow-raising for me, too. And I'm far from a harda**.

It's one thing for a kid to ask your advice, and you give it. Or ask for ideas/recipes or brainstorming help, and you share that. Great! It's another thing to start doing the same research for them that they could easily do themselves.

It's the difference between asking a mom what she thinks he should wear to an August wedding in Colorado and the mom giving her thoughts, even a range of thoughts, that come from greater life experience... vs the mom coming online to a Colorado forum to ask what the weather is usually like in August.
