[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s my sister, her 2 kids, my parents, and us: 2 adults and 3 kids.

My go to a big pot of soup and bread and salad, but that leaves nothing for her girls.

Chicken nuggets might not work, because I’m not sure what brand they will eat and I do not want to ask.

Snacks seem like a good idea…or a roast chicken???[/quote]

Just do your go to and have some sort of plain chicken and plain rolls / bread.  Or a selection of some deli meats.  Do not make a big deal if they do or do not eat it.  [/quote]

Honestly, I think this is the worst option.  For a kid who has this level of anxiety around food, this is going to feel like a whole lot of pressure, because the food is similar enough to what they eat that it is going to feel like pressure, and different enough that it's not going to feel safe.

I would either take your sister up on her offer to run out for fast food for them, or I'd have the actual foods they eat available, not things that seem similar to someone who doesn't have this issue (e.g. chicken tenders instead of chicken nuggets, or rolls instead of sliced bread), but very different to a child.
