Latest signs of food ponciness ...

[NotQuiteCockney]

DS2 gets excited when he sees a Paul (fancy french bakery), and points at the croissants with great enthusiasm.

What are other people's poncy kids doing funny these days?

told my poncey 5 year old that we needed to go shopping and wrote a list that included bread, fruit, carrots, tea-bags .. you get the general non-poncey gist right?

DS said .. "add chocolate brioche to it then"

dunno where he gets it from

wouldn't mind but normally wants pain au chocolat but fancied a change

Oh dear. Yeah, my DS1 is mad for pain au chocolat. He also gets really excited about mangos and pomegranates (sp?)

bribed ds with mango to make him finish his thai green chicken curry .. it worked

I don't know whether to laugh or cry tbh

ds loves a chocolate croissant or a chocolate brioche - he'll eat anything fancy and poncy !

We have two mangoes sitting trying to ripen in the fridge. I get asked to check on them at every meal, and DS1 is disappointed every time. He's obsessed. And DS2 isn't much better.

I'm pretty lukewarm about mango myself, but glad they enjoy it so much.

DS is too fond of sushi!

that's reminded me ! sushi and duck wrap are his favourite supermarket treats...I make do with an egg and cress sandwich meanwhile...

my eldest dc (11) loves sushi. Also loves quarter pounder with cheese though so can't be smug

Grandma and my dsis took dd out for a treat expecting her to order a kids meal. Dd, studying the menu says she'd like garlic bread for a starter followed by moules mariniere.

dd1 is rather partial to edamame with soy suace dip !!!

Thats great redsky, really tickled me, how old is she !!??

I am still scarred from a visit from my then 4 yo goddaughter. When I offered some cake she looked at me and said "where is the pastry-fork?". I had recently graduated and was in rented accomodation, and my possions did not run to a set of pastry forks. Come to think of it I'm not sure whether I have any at present either?

she must have been about 10 at the time - and she is used to fairly adult tastes as we run a pub so a chef cooks all our meals.

Oh, god, DS1 was mad for moules at the age of one. We went to a French family "moules and frites" sort of restaurant in Paris, they saw DS1, and said, oh, ok, we'll bring you a spare plate of fries. DS1 then hoovered up a couple of servings of moules.

Both my dc require black olives and marinated garlic in their packed lunches!

hey NQC you shouldn't keep Mangoes in the fridge .. they should be in the fruit bowl .. supposedly

again the sushi thing.

once told a friend's mum who offered him a biscuit that he doesn't really like having 'hydrogenated fat' - he's 7

We had a nexcellent thread along these lines a while back called something like 'You know you're a foodie when....'

Lots of hilarious examples-kids kicking off in M&S because there was no Brie left and so on.

Mine have just insisted on smoked salmon and potatoes sauteed in goose fat for dinner.

Dd insists on Kalamata olives, ordinary black ones not good enough (she's 2)

Mind you, my kids wouldn't dare to be so precious in public!! Its more than their lives are worth. With me is one thing - with friends' parents/ grandparents etc, I would simply die and so would they when they got home if I found out about it

dd1 writing in her news book about the continental breakfast she had at the weekend-poncy enough?

My poncy dd says "I want cado please" meaning avocado. My cleaner thought it was poncey anyway.
