AIBU to ask for help on french themed food for kids

[ShakespearesSisters]

We are having a French/Olympic themed camp for a couple of nights with the Brownies.
I'm looking for easy to make, French food, that the girls are likely to eat.
We have French toast, crepes, pain au chocolate, croissants, ratatouille, onion soup and ham and cheese baguettes.
Just looking for a few more ideas before we bulk it out with other stuff.

Can't imagine many kids liking onion soup! I don't know many adults that like that. I think all the breakfast ideas you have are good but for dinners I like the idea of baked camembert, crusty French bread and sides.

Brioche bun cut in half. Chocolate squares inside. Kids love it.
And pain au chocolate is actually called choclatine in france. Check the spelling though.

Get a catering size bucket of Nutella. When we took the guides to Disneyland Paris the Nutella at the breakfast buffet was the biggest wow of the trip.

Macarons!!!! not sure if hard to make, but some place sell them - saw some tescos tenderly and prob mns et al do them.

and cheese platters 😁

Gummy frogs? Pinwheel wraps as ‘snails’?

Challenge them to build the Eiffel Tower out of raw spaghetti and marshmallows. Then eat the marshmallows?

I’m surprised by that, it’s never struck me as a particularly marmite food?

My suggestions:
Puy lentil salad - you can buy a ready cooked pouch of them
Creme caramel (ready made)
pain perdu
chou farci (a rolled up cabbage leaf with filling, you could pre-cook and get the kids to assemble them)
Cheese board!
Poire belle helene (poached pears with ice cream and chocolate sauce)

You need some Apericubes to be truly French! 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 🇫🇷

Quiche Lorraine et frites would be a good choice for a main meal for kids, don't forget the mayonnaise!

Give whatever food you're serving its French name.

Quel plaisir vous aurez tous! 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 🇫🇷

Pain au chocolat vs chocolatine is France’s version of bread roll vs baps/barms/cobs etc 😁

ASDA frozen macarons £3.50 for 12. Delicious

Think it's worse than that, isn't it? You can get thrown out of places for using the wrong word 😬

Steak haché, aka burgers!

A staple of every French kids menu

Clafoutis is my favourite, but probably not the best for this occasion!

Crepes.

We once had a child's birthday cake made in France, by a patisserie, and when it arrived it was an extremely light and slightly damp sponge with tons of fruit and cream. Delicious.

Frites, winner every time.

Mine rather liked moules marinere at that age and roast duck but neither are going to be in budget. Cassoulet, puy lentil salad with bacon and goats cheese, tartiflette can all be done more reasonably

Cheese board?

Definitely hot chocolate in bowls for breakfast! I’m not sure it is so common now but I found it both fun (and funny) as a child visiting family in France.

I also loved trying the different flavours of crisps that you can’t get in the UK. You can often find Lays crisps in UK convenience stores in flavours that Walkers (same brand, different name) don’t sell in the UK.

Lidl sometimes sell snails…

How about couscous? France isn’t monocultural… I believe couscous (like curry in the UK) was voted to be the nation’s favourite dish at some point in one of those silly surveys.

It’s the wrong time of year but how about Gallette de Rois, served at epiphany? Like hiding a coin in Christmas pudding, there is a hidden bean. The person who finds it gets to be king/queen for the day and wear a paper crown.
