To think this is huge

[Nomorenails1]

To think this is a huge portion for an 11 month old I'm socked at it

keep

oops, my first langauge isn't English. DH has always understood what I meant. Shoot. Sorry. Yes, peppers, in tbis case.

I like yellow peppers. And normal potatoes. And chickpeas etc...

ivy oh wow... We never had that.

We did have on some occasions crisps. But not very often. And then usually with salad, vegetables, maybe tofu or chickpeas.

Maybe I'm genuinely overreacting.

And I now want a. Loud fish finger sandwich.

Is this some sort of joke thread? An op who doesn't want to explain and a picture of a meal unsuitable for an infant, seriously who feeds an infant chips etc ffs.

Op, if you're for real I'll assume you mean to write an eleven year old and not eleven months.

A* not a loud ...

No one feeds an 11 month old that shit .... apart from maybe the peas!

My son only eats dry, beige food. So lives on a diet of
Fish fingers, chicken nuggets, turkey dinosaurs, potato smiles and waffles and chips and cheese and bread. That is it.
I love the food police. Obviously they have never encountered a fussy eater and experienced the stress the mother goes through 🙄

I genuinely didn't know that yellow food was the spawn of the devil!!

keep

Not really. I guess.

Not necessarily the colour. As I said, peppers, potatoes and also squash uhm... Idk. Pears, yellow grapes, berries, yellow tomatoes, chickpeas etc. All lovely foods.

Just, very fatty and or processed food is often yellow, right?

My nephews are the same greggers. One has autism and a very restricted diet and his brother refuses to eat boring healthy food when his brother doesn't have to. Both are very active and healthy looking and neither are overweight.

I'm convinced that no-one in real life eats frozen peas and 90% of those served in pubs and restaurants are thrown away uneaten.

Chippie, do you mean the meat or the veg?

Sorry didn't RTFT, You've already clarified slinks back into corner

the vegetables.

Not the salami, nope. ;)

I'm convinced that no-one in real life eats frozen peas and 90% of those served in pubs and restaurants are thrown away uneaten.

I actually like frozen peas, so I do eat them! What I tend to leave in pubs and restaurants is the ubiquitous salad on the side of the plate, as I'm never quite certain it's been washed properly.

What's so bad about flour anyway?

Everything

I am coeliac and therefore biased

Greggers, that sounds like my youngest (now 25) I was on a thread called resistant eaters, seems like dry, beige food was a common factor. I would have been delighted if he had eaten anything on that plate actually.
He ate the same few things from aged 8 months til 17 years of age. He has grown up to be very fit and healthy and normal size. Still a bit fussy around food but nothing like he used to be. Stressed is too mild a word!
Sorry to distract the thread. Plates of food up for scrutiny always bring back the shivers of dreading each mealtime.

Thanks for sharing @storynanny TBH yesterday my son ate some chicken nugget and I was jumping for joy as I can't normally get him to touch meat

Frozen peas are eaten multiple times a week in countless homes across the land. Which is fine, given that they're pretty wholesome and often have a higher vitamin count than some random veg harvested a gazillion miles away.

They're inexpensive, accessible and probably the easiest veg to prepare. Kids generally like them. What's not to love?

Greggers!!! I know how exciting it is. I posted on the resistant eaters thread a couple of years ago that my son ( aged 19!) had gone out with some friends and .......eaten a curry. I could have wept with happiness. When I say ate a curry, it was the mildest most insipid chicken curry and a naan bread ( rice is still a no go)

Ah rice is one of the few things my child likes. Cooked, in crispies or in rice cakes, it's his carb of choice

The 11m old will probably eat 3 spoonfuls. Hardly justifies the histrionics on this thread

Well that is probably true in the context most originally thought. Ie kids meal in a restaurant which covers 7 and 8 year olds some even up to 12.

If however it's a regular portion size for such a small baby then the baby will be used to overeating and in that scenario it's definitely not a good thing. People laugh about the competitive lunch boxes. However there is also alot of competitive eating that goes on on MN too. Alot of apparently stick thin children who are auditioning for the next series of Man Vs Food in the amount they consume.

If this parent thinks this is a reasonable size for a baby now then what is being to happen as the kid gets older etc

But I don't think op to really cares or shed have gone about this differently.

In a way that might actually have helped

Ivy that's not a typical vegan dinner at all. Some vegans live on chips and beans it's true. But many don't.

I know it's not a typical vegan dinner
What I am saying is that being vegan and eating crapy food are not exclusive.

I love frozen peas - also have managed to convince my kids from a young age that an eggcup full of frozen peas (still frozen) is a treat!

My 13 month old mostly stares my right in the eye while he systematically drops every single piece of his dinner on the floor.
So seeing as the dog is the only one eating it I'm. Happy to serve less.than perfectly balanced meals. The only thing I can get him to eat at the moment is homemade pizza...but the flour is balanced out by the huge amounts of veg....yes....?

I could kill for that plate of food right now. Which I know is wrong in lots of ways but there you go
