FUSSY CHILD AND GIVING HIM A ROAST DINNER..

[BLUESEAPARADISE]

We have DC friend over tonight and we are all having chicken pie, roast potatoes, peas, carrots and Yorkshire pudding with gravy,

The friend is incredibly fussy ( and I understand it's very difficult as my DC is fussy) however his mum has told me to give him a roast dinner just like everyone else to try and encourage him to try something.

How would you serve the meal with as little stress as possible? One potato? Or a small bit of potato? One carrot? One pea?? How about the pie?!

The friend apparently is very unlucky to try any of it but mum still wants me to serve it to him in a hope he will try!

I don't really want to overwhelm him with a large plate of food but It would be nice to say to his mum when he picks up that he has had something!

Sorry for this post I am such a worrier!

Any tips on how to support a child ( who isn't yours) who is incredibly fussy?

A roast to me means the meat and potatoes are roasted (i only do yorkshires with beef). And as that's probably the only element that my DC would eat, if i suggested a roast and they served a pie i'd be a bit . Actually, if someone said what meal would your ds1 eat and i said a roast, thinking he at least may eat some meat, then i'd be quite dismayed to be served a pie.

Altho the meal is a fine meal, i couldn't ever see it described as a 'roast'.

A little off thread but my kids love a pie - any pie. Has to have gravy and Yorkshire puddings go with anything.

How is a pie a roast dinner? Confused

How is a pie a roast dinner?
It's a Wigan Roast.

I want to make the Wigan roast meme succeed. If only I were on Instagram..

Yes we have to make the Wigan Roast go viral!

The Wigan roast sounds awesome 😎

Mini, that looks tasty!
