Dd1 is supremely fussy... and stubborn... but we have made real progress with her eating supported by her fantastic preschool. She's just started school and I has insisted she have school dinners. Today we went along to try the dinners. She had been excited to try the meatballs but my god they were utterly disgusting. Soft, pale mushy 'pork' with poorly cooked pasta and a watery sauce. Dd started crying because she couldn't eat it. I felt like crying to because I had to 😂
Other pupils were having the cheese sandwich...a Warburton style bap with a slice of plastic cheese.
To cap it all off was the pudding... it was called frozen yogurt ice cream. It was like a mousse and the ingredients were rank. Claims to be low fat and therefore healthy but I disagree with low fat products as I believe sugar is the main health issue.
I'm now thinking of providing packed lunches instead.... healthy and I can monitor the ingredients. I'm really particular about my meat and where it comes from.
I'm just disappointed as I thought school meals would open up a variety but I doubt dd will ever want to try meatballs again after today 🤢
