I have a bit of a thing about children's menus when I am eating out and will actually base where we go as a family based on what a children's menu is like. My issue is the choice that children are given. There are some restaurants that serve a fantastic range of food on the main menu- pasta, salads, international cuisine, grills and many other items. Then, you open up the children's menu and the choice is nearly always burger, pizza, sausages, fish fingers or chicken nuggets. It drives me mad! These are nearly always served with chips and beans. When I cook at home, I make my children the same homemade meal as the adults are eating. This can be anything from roast dinners, curries, pasta dishes or vegetarian meals. Our diet is quite varied. I occasionally buy a pizza for them in the holidays and once in a blue moon I cook sausages. We never eat nuggets and fish fingers. Who has decided that these are the things that children eat? I prefer eating out at places where children have a wider choice on the menu with some healthier options. If my children then choose to have a burger or a pizza, I don't mind. I am not a health freak and don't mind them having these foods on occasion. I just think they should have the choice of a nice meal. There is a pub near me that has a kids menu with a picture of a lovely pasta dish and salad on the front and then when you open it up, the choice is actually fish fingers, nuggets or pizza. Am I alone in my frustration with this or do others agree that children should have a decent menu choice?
