[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's fascinating to me that this board considers a bowl of pasta a terrible lunch but a little salami, crackers and cheese with a a handful of popcorn an amazing dinner.[/quote]

I think a bowl of pasta with no sauce is not a great lunch to serve a guest, and a selection of foods that you chose for yourself can be a lovely dinner.

Part of my thinking is based on the fact that the pasta was served to a guest. It seemed like the OP in that post had planned a meal for someone else based on what her own picky eater kid would eat. I think assuming that because your kids don't want sauce on their pasta, your guest kids don't is rude.  It's like if I served peanut butter and didn't offer jelly, or served cereal with no milk, two things my kids liked.

The second reason is that I, personally, have a rule that if I'm going to eat something that isn't great for me, it better be delicious.  Picking a plate of delicious things that I like to eat beats plain noodles any day.  [/quote]
