Default What do toddlers around the world eat?

Hi folks,

I am a journalist from America, writing an article on what toddlers
(about 2 years old) around the world eat. For example: in America it's
commonly chicken nuggets, cereal, hot dogs, etc.

I would like to know what moms outside of America feed their toddlers
as snack foods. If you have any interesting and colorful foods,
anecdotes, funny stories, and traditions with the foods I would like to
hear them!

Your comments may be used in an award-winning US parenting magazine
with over a million subscribers.

I look forward to your feedback. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hot dogs are the number one cause of choking deaths in toddlers. They
fit perfectly in the windpipe. CUT THEM UP SMALL.

Huh? Not really, for any toddlers that I have known. Maybe in some
areas, but not all. Remember, America is a large area and it contains
many different countries.

Not in my experience. I think you are being fed a stereotype that is
not really true, unless that's what the family eats also.

Where the hell are you from? I fed my kids whisky, when I was in good
mood. Otherwise it was broken glass. They're really well adjusted as a
result. Chicken nuggets and hot dogs, my ass.

Well at 2 years old I suppose they eat "BABY" food, must be called
that for a reason hmm. If you are what you say you are, I suggest you
stop buying the line of crap you're being "fed". That is they do in
between leaking all over the place. Now pay up, I figure $3 a letter
should cover it.

Please don't disparage all US Moms by saying we all feed our kids that
crap. My son (15 months) eats what we eat - all varieties of food -
including beets, swiss chard, black-eyed peas, broccoli, whole grain
rice and pasta, and all sorts of good stuff.

Are you serious? Yuck.
When my sons were toddlers, they used to eat whatever we used to eat,
period. As I am the house cook and I love cooking, that means French
food, Italian food, Chinese, Thai and Japanese food, Spanish and
Portuguese food... You get the idea. They are now 10 and 7, and only
the quantities have changed. They sure appreciate good food!

Are you nuts? "commonly chicken nuggets, cereal, hot dogs, etc" I think you
need to do more research before drawing those generalized statements. My
grandkids "Corn, sausage, roast, pasketti, green beans, apples, strawberries,
bananas, oatmeal, toast, salad, cheese, and the list goes on and on. Chicken
Nuggets is an occasional reward.

So your name is Tanveer Badal, you're a "journalist" from America (?
really? my what a melting pot), and you've already asked folks in
Dubai working Mom G-group what Indian kids eat. Not only are you a
troll of the worst sort, you're a poor ****ing excuse for a
"journalist". Is this what we've come to now? A "journalist" goes to
freaking Usenet to get the "facts". You are a truly pathetic piece of
shit, (IMO only, of course) and if I had you in even a High School
journalism class, I'd flunk your sorry ass on the spot. By quick
Google search, I see you're apparently already well-established. I
think it would do everyone well to Google for your name, and seriously
avoid any publication that is stupid enough to hire you. Of course,
once again that is only an expression of my opinion, and I am not
calling for a mass boycott. I believe if I see you again, it would be
only proper for me to contact some of these organizations and tell
them they could save some cash by just surfing the net for themselves.

If they want healthy, well-adjusted kids who'll eat a wide variety of
food, hopefully they'll give them the same wide variety of fruits,
vegetables and meats as they eat themselves, only in smaller
quantities at a time! Toddlers eat what they're used to eating, and if
you want to feed your kids processed pap then that's what they'll
expect! Yes they love chicken nuggets but that's hardly the basis of a
healthy diet... of course a lot of parents think that stuff's 'food'
too so the kids haven't got a hope.

Maybe commonly, but that's not what my niece ate. She was deeply into
veggies and fruit.

Dunno where you got your information, but I can't imagine
feeding a toddler that kind of crap. My son's favorite meal
at that age was shredded deli turkey, small chunks of cheddar
cheese, a slice of bread, and a sippy cup of cold water...

Deli turkey is preserved, it's loaded with nitrites, a whole lot less
healthful than chicken nuggets, which is simply deep fried breaded
*unadulterated* chicken chunks, and it's easy to lower its caloric
content by peeling off the breading. And if you buy the cheap deli
turkey it's essentially gelatinized moulded garbage.

Escargot. My son was at daycare and the provider had to keep taking
snails away from him (we have a lot of them around here). At some point
she found shell fragments on his lips. Ughhh.

Then there's the sand. You can tell they've been eating sand when you
change their diapers and try to clean them up. The butt is all gritty.

"Unadulterated"? Depends on the nugget in question:

http://www.ams.usda.gov/fqa/aa20276a.htm

Skin, TVP, fats are all acceptable. We'll take our chances with
all-white meat deli turkey.

Is it? Sounds very lowe income not to mention incredibly unhealthy and

Toddlers in the countries I've visited eat what the parents eat, just
cut up small and possibly with less chile sauce on it.

Really? I must have missed that day in Mommy class. Would make for
less expensive report card reward dinners out had I trained my child to
enjoy junk food, you know $6 at McD's rather than a $75 sushi tab.
We've always eaten real food not a bunch of over processed "food" the
child got what the adults were having unless it was an overly fire-y
dish. The summary of common foods for American children serves only to
insult those who choose to offer good nutrition and give a feel good
afirmation to those who can't be bothered to waste time or money on
feeding the little darlings food that has nutritional value.

I remember being a kid and having friends who's parents made two dinners
every night one for the kids and one for the adults. The kids got boxed
mac & cheese, mystery meat hot dogs, frozen cardboard burgers,
spaghetti-o's and a plethora of other inedibles. The parents dined on
fresh vegetabes, nice meats, grains, and other yummy things. Hell was
staying with said friends for a whole week once when my parents went to
New Orleans, had it not been for almost as gross hot lunches at school
I'd have starved.

I dare say you forgot essentials like mud pies, crayons, worms, sand,
cat food, ants, and anything else that said child is told not to eat.

And no wonder American kids are so fat, while their parents are trim
from working out. Our kids rarely eat the above foods, perhaps with the
exception of cereal with their breakfast a couple times a week.

That is so incredibly cool. My kids are 16 and 19 and I dare say they
wouldn't try sushi for a free month's car payment. Kind of sad,
really. And it MUST indeed be fun to watch.

My munchkins are like night and day. When Munchkin The Elder was young,
it was cheese pizza, plain meat with barbecue sauce, iceberg lettuce,
fresh strawberries, and that was about it. Wouldn't touch much else,
and the food items couldn't touch each other, and there couldn't be
sauce or gravy on anything, and there couldn't be "junk" in the food
(flakes of anything, chunks of anything, anything that disturbed the
homogeneity).

Whereas Munchkin The Younger and I used to share pickled beets, sushi,
asparagus, hummus wraps -- all the stuff I love, which of course made us
both very happy, because we could share all that yummy food while MTE
nibbled away on meat. MTE wouldn't even eat most ice cream because it
had "junk" in it. Just plain vanilla, thankyewvermuch.

If and when I want chicken nuggets or chicken strips (and I'm no toddler) I
make my own. I buy boneless chicken breasts, slice them into strips or into
nuggets, then marinate them in combo of a light oil with a dash of white
wine vinegar or lemon juice. I use a nice dried breadcrumb and add some
herbs (dried marjoram, maybe some rubbed sage) and a little pepper. Coat
the strips/nuggets and bake them at a high temp (425F) for about 12-15
minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is nicely
browned. Very tasty and definitely not adulterated in the manner you refer
to.

I do agree with you, I was never allowed to eat Chicken McCrap when I was
growing up. I ate what my parents ate. They never prepared separate meals
for us.

=============

My 6 y/o hasn't had sushi yet but adores a nice range of cooked seafood:
Clams, crab, scallops, mussels, lobster, various fishes, and shrimp.

One Sunday, after church, we were looking for a place to grab lunch, DH asks
what we're in the mood for... he wanted pasta, I wanted Schlotzski's, and DS
at only 3 1/2 pipes in he wants Red Lobster! Please keep in mind that we
were living in Armpit, Illinois, at the time (read "majorly landlocked with
the exception of river catfish nearby"). He's been smitten ever since.
