Your Children's Ponciest Food Statement

[NotQuiteCockney]

This one's for the fish ...

DS1 demands blood oranges, and will request them over all other oranges. Also, he prefers homemade popcorn to cinema popcorn.

What poncey food requests do your kids make?

Please may i have a hot dinner today

Friend's child said very loudly when in a workman's/motorway caff, 'I hope they have Earl Grey'

sometimes I make sushi with my kids, sally...

shall I go now?

actually, think ds2 would like sushi. Will all you posher people laugh if I ask how to make it at home? (we don't run to Yo Sushi! herabouts :))

(just realised why ds1 says 'actually ' so much )

told a friend when over for tea "oooh - my mum makes her own fish fingers as the orange in the bread crumbs isn’t healthy!!" rather embarrassing all round

Just what I was thinking FMF - Fillyjonk, we challenge you: how DO you make sushi at home (or more to the point, how DO you get yer kids to eat raw fish and seaweed?)

my niece (to my dad) aged about 5 when presented with some vile sandwich he had made

n: I only like smoked salmon sandwiches
dad: where did you have those then?
n: claridges

Shall we ask at the Wetherby Whaler, Emmylou

this explains well how to make \link{http://www.hub-uk.com/cooking/tipssushi.htm\sushi}

you can get the stuff in (big) tescos or (bigger) healthfood shops.

i love miso soup also.

Emmylou - do you think they have Nori Seaweed and Wasabi at Jack Fultons?

Thanks, Fillyjonk, we may have to adapt to allow for pickiness but ds's love all fish so am hopeful....

dt1 might be the youngest food ponce. He turned his nose up yesterday at macdonalds chips in favour of olives off my packed lunchtime bagel. He also refused quavers while staring pointedly at my smoked salmon during lunch at the weekend. He is only 14 mnths! Pity that dt2 is the opposite.

dd asked for a homemade pavlova with rapsberries last year as a birthday cake, so I obliged.
guess what she wants as a birthday cake this year? same thing!
and that's after being told that she can have any decorated cake she wants (from M&S or Waitrose, you understand )...
she also says that the children who don't like pavlovas can have my homemade choc cake.....
she also asks for parma ham and asparagus all the time

its totally forgiving. my friends kid made it with us, she eats very limited food, just left out the rolls and had avocado and rice in little mounds. Its one of those meals where the preparation is a lot of the fun.

oooh need to have another sushi party...

(feck, my 2 yo has sushi parties...I think I must get a t shirt for that, surely?)

If you want to look like a nobend , yeh why not

Fillyjonk!

seriously, they do eat it, it can be customised to what they eat-rice cakes even. personally dont give raw fish to littlies tho..

Not really 'poncy' but DS has always wanted his birthday parties at the local Balti House. I think he was born a 'geezer'.

Not my children but me aged 4
Taken for tea in the Waldorf (sp?) - asked what I would like by the waiter I piped up with "I'd like smoked salmon sandwiches with the crusts cut off please" And I got them... family legend!

DS chooses Mussels in our local fish and chip shop (its a poncey restaurant style one with a fish bar rather than the local chippy)

and asks to go for Thai food

Freind's mum to my dd, 'Would you like a drink of water?'
dd, 'Have you got Badoit?'
Friend's mum, 'No, I'm afraid not'.
dd, 'No thanks then.'

oh dear fairyfly, there is no need to be so rude

You can have a t shirt as well, dear, if you want one so much. There you go.
