What's your children's favourite meal?

OK, for tea tonight my kids had a bowlful of brown pasta twirls, topped with finely grated mature cheddar, to which I added a smiley face using tomato ketchup. This is their favourite meal and takes about 5mins to make which makes it my favourite too! They would have it every day if they could.

Anyone else's kids have a particular favourite?

ds's favourite is beans on toast, dd1's favourite is lasagne and dd2 likes pasta or rice with mushrooms (it is the mushrooms bit she loves). Pasta with butter and cheese always goes down very well with all 3 if I am feeling lazy. Funny how nobody has said broccoli !!

Ds fave is carbonara.Also loves sausages,salami,white toast real butter,chocolate petits filou and any vegetables esp carrots and broccoli

bunjies · 19/07/2004 09:30

Spag bol is the definite favourite with my ds(5) and dd (22m). It's also one of my faves too.

zebra · 19/07/2004 09:32

Breakfast cereal -- they would both eat 3x/day if allowed.
I only buy low-sugar varieties of cereal, too!

chocolate crepes

Bread and butter (fresh baked bread strongly preferred) . Wish he would be more adventurous but at least going out for meals anywhere is simple with my son!

Thomcat · 19/07/2004 11:26

My home made spag bol, actually, anyones spag bol will do.

Toast - alwats a winner when all else fails.
When I ask her if she wants a slice she says 'tooossst' with little pursed lips, whiler ubbing her wrists togewther which is her variation on the sign for toast, so cute!

Ghosty · 19/07/2004 11:32

If I were to ask DS what he wanted for dinner he will always say, "Yellow Spaghetti and Toast" ... Yellow Spaghetti being tinned spaghetti. He loves it but I don't give it to him often ...
He too loves any form of pasta ...
Other faves are: Roast dinners with gravy, beans on toast, dippy eggs and toast, chicken pie.

Pidge · 19/07/2004 11:42

Well until recently I would have said baked potato, beans and cheese for my dd - at 20 months she took to picking up the phone (or the tv remote control) and saying "hullo, potato, beans and cheese please" .... much to the entertainment of all.

Now it would have to compete with "getty" bolognaise, oh and salmon or anything meaty.

CountessDracula · 19/07/2004 11:50

Pasta with spinach and ricotta sauce

Dippy eggs (but more for the fun than the taste I think)

raspberries

CountessDracula · 19/07/2004 11:50

oh god and ice lollies. (FAB she calls them as she once had a fab and was the best thing ever IHO)

In the mornings she sometimes says "go to shop, buy FAB?" as her first words!

sponge · 19/07/2004 12:01

Sausages, bacon, corn on the cob, ice lollies (she loves Fabs too), fruit especially strawberries and melon, peanut butter (yeuch), broccoli, ketchup, cucumber (dipped in ketchup), crisps etc of any kind.

Blu · 19/07/2004 12:09

Lamb chop
Boiled egg
Bacon sandwich
But isn't really bothered enough about food in general to have either favourites or dislikes. It all takes too much time to eat, that could be better spent tearing about.

Cam · 19/07/2004 19:59

Was it in Brighton Lemonice?

Maximom · 19/07/2004 20:23

Pasta ok, meat and ice-cream FAB ( not together)vegetables of ANY description NOOOOO! Any suggestions. Its starting to make my feel like a bad mom.

enid · 19/07/2004 20:25

cd, dd1 had a Fab on holiday once and thought she had died and gone to heaven.

twitcher · 19/07/2004 20:26

My dd is very predictable:

Breakfast - Weetabix
Lunch - Marmite Sandwich
Dinner - Cauliflower Cheese

colinsmommy · 19/07/2004 20:30

Pumpkin muffins for breakfast, and macaroni and cheese any other time. I have to make it myself, though. I noticed it was disappearing faster than should be and found out my DH was eating it too. I told him he should be glad I had stopped breastfeeding, because I was making it with formula. It hasn't been disappearing as fast lately.

Thomcat · 19/07/2004 23:15

Poor little L has only ever had a home made fresh prune juice lolly!!!!! I feel cruel have to say she loved it though!!

emsiewill · 19/07/2004 23:46

Pasta with a bit of mayo and loads of cheese. dd2 would eat this every day for every meal if I let her. She also enjoys it with the addition on cherry tomatoes.
