[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh FFS. What do you think kids eat all over the world, and have done for thousands of years? They eat the cuisine of their culture, spicy though it may be.

Sorry your kids are picky, OP, but don't pretend all children are like this. And don't pretend your choice to cater to them isn't part of why your kids are picky.[/quote]

hmm.. I dont know about other cultures but in my North Indian heritage family..kids do have special food made for them that was separate from the Indian curries and sabzi gosht you eat as n adult. breakfast wud often be plain paratha and yoghurt with sugar whipped in or eggs & toast soldier- not a green chili and scallion omelette! a serving of pulao with ghee or kichri etc.. some kids want to eat spicy foods earlier and start asking for it bit no- one is given korma and palak right off the bat. grandmas would hiss that baby's sensitive tummy cant take it so until kids are like 5-7ish, separate food is served to them.   lots of ghee filled food, yoghurt and fruit with fiber is fed to kids b/c they need the fat for their growing brains. same with almonds/nuts- we had to eat a handful of almonds every day and a bowl of kefir like yoghurt at lunch.  We were also allowed sweets but limited eating sour foods. and egos is pretty common even in South Indian families but they are vegetarian more often and feed kichri instead of pulao. [/quote]
