Last night, we had dinner with church friends family at home. They have a 3 year old son and 1 year old daughter.
Japanese kid's best favorite meals are like :Hamburger (meat loaf), Neapolitan (ketchup flavored spaghetti), fried chicken, curry, fried rice, etc. Most of "kids favorite menu" are very meaty, although, there are several techniques to add/hide lots of vegies without let kids notice. For example, chop up lots of different kinds of vegetables and combine in meat, or make sauce out of vegetables.
So I made hamburger and neapolitan (and some vegetable sides), but a 3 years old boy didn't like any! More than that, parents said "it's not a kids menu" (they didn't mean to hurt my feeling, just thought about it and let their son not worry for not eating much)
I was surprised! Hamberger and spaghetti are not kid's menu?! What are American kids eating then?
Hotdogs? Macaroni cheese? How do mothers make kids eat vegetables with those menu? There is no place to hide vegies!
