Now THAT sounds liek my kid. She's the one who always complains -
rightfully - that everything on the Kids menu is always fried. She
wants to know WHY they can't give her steamed shrimp or steamed clams
or grilled fish instead of battered and deep-fried. And I can't afford
the prices they charge for what she'd like to order - a porrtion of
steamed shrimp r clams is usually $10 compared to $3 or 4 for the kids
menu. So my aweseom kid picks the breading off most of what she orders,
or we compromise and I let her order an adult's appetizer and then kick
down my salad to her if she's not full. She's an expensive eater!
