I decided to have a quick chat to the school today. As they have just launched "core values" and the first one is respect I thought it timely for everyone to be reminded that commenting negatively on others food is unacceptable. Fortunately they shared my view and even upped the ante and classified it as "bullying". And yes, if a group of children consistently comment negatively on a child's lunchbox it can be very upsetting. It also makes it harder for parents who do want to deviate from the standard sandwich/chippies lunch.
So enough of that and onto today's fare. I had some leftover pork balls (prawn balls for Max) that I made for dinner and some omelette. Not enough for lunch so I quickly boiled some brown rice noodles - that look white, the boys love and take 5 mins to boil in a pan. Added some tamari sauce and tinned corn and voila a lovely, nutritious and I think delicious lunch. I was experimenting with non-wheat pancakes yesterday and so they got one of those each too.
Would your child yum or yuck this as lunch?
