Eating out in a restaurant should be much more than a treat for children, it should be an education, argues JOHN HOWARTH.
And he’s not talking about taking them to a chain restaurant where children’s menus offer chicken nuggets, chips frozen pizza and limitless pop.
Children’s menus should be smaller versions of the real thing, he says. To prove it, John offers five eateries which offer good eats for children’s treats.
When my daughter was three I took her to a well-known chain with reputation for welcoming children.
Having ordered from the children's menu I was surprised that her normally healthy appetite had deserted her.
“The food’s not nice Dad,” she saId. I tasted – it was execrable.
The reaction on complaining was of great surprise – how could a three-year-old tell whether food is rubbish? We’ve not been back.
Eating out is now part of how we live and much more accessible than in my youth.
From the point where children are old enough to behave themselves in a restaurant, taking them out to eat should be not just a treat but part of their education. Their real-life education that is – which is about more than books.
But what are they offered? Far too often children’s menus serve up chicken nuggets, chips, frozen pizza and limitless fizzy pop.
No wonder so many kids seem intent on charging around eateries when they are fuelled by sugar on tap.
A sensible children’s menu is just the menu – smaller. A menu should have enough real choice to enable everyone to participate in the meal.
“Timmy will only eat pizza/pasta/chicken nuggets” is a strange argument for junk on children’s menus.
Who does the weekly shopping in these households? Does little Timmy drive to the supermarket? Does Timmy pay at the checkout? I think not.
I feel sorry for...
