Your mom loves you
Ok, but an apple, banana, watermelon, and kiwi sandwich actually sounds really good though.
The mouth feel would be abysmal. Especially with the inclusion of banana.
Skill issue.
Definitely going to slip and bite your tongue or lip
Chew better
I would prefer this over McDonald’s trash any day of the week. Apples, watermelon, bananas, kiwis? This isn’t like raw broccoli or something, it’s all fresh delicious fruit.
Are you implying raw broccoli isn’t delicious?
If you are less than about 20 the bitter flavor is too prominent for most people. Same reason younger folks don’t like unsweetened black coffee. It takes a while to grow out of the sensitivity to bitter flavors we are born with.
tbh, this look good. very refreshing. Just add a mango slice to be the cheese
That’s so cute, it would totally work on me
As an ungrateful little urchin, I would have been pissed ngl. As an adult tho, I can see that this is so freaking sweet and cool.
That looks good, but fruit on an empty stomach doesn’t generally work well with me.
I know those feels. The acids in apple juice used to wreck my stomach. Couldn’t drink it. OJ was iffy. No idea why. Regular fruit was fine, though. Try a self experiment and take a small antacid like tums beforehand and see if it helps?
But hard to digest fats do? And yeah, can’t stomach much more than muesli at morning too.
I would eat that.
Very nice try :)
In a parallel universum kids want this really bad and they hate fast food.
“No, my son can’t come out and play today. He hasn’t finished his lunch transfats for the third day in a row and is grounded until he learns to appreciate the empty carbs I work hard to put on the table.”
Heck yes. I would replace the banana with strawberry slices and say it’s ketchup or tomato.
Ok, but that actually looks bomb. Gimme.
Now bread it and deep fry it all
Hope she used a McIntosh apple
It’s so funny that kids often don’t like fruit. Like, “no I want my sugar without chewing! How dare you make me chew. Fiber bad, candy good.”
Is it true or just a stereotype? My kids love fruit. We go through probably 6kg of fruit a week, half of that is bananas and the rest is a mix of all sorts.
They obviously love candy too but they don’t complain about fruit.
Vegetables on the other hand… Fiber without (much) sugar is offensive.
Vegetables on the other hand
A dietician once explained to me that children are extra-sensitive to bitter flavors like those of vegetables, and this sensitivity grows milder with age, so their special aversion is only natural. I recall feeling extremely hostile to vegetables then at some age feeling shocked that I no longer knew what the fuss was about & could appreciate them more.
Blanching those vegetables to subdue the bitterness may be especially important for a kid’s palate.
I suppose it depends on the kid. Fruit seemed like a punishment to me when I was younger, and then when I got older I wondered how I could have been so ridiculous.
Maybe I disliked it because “the man” wanted me to eat it because it was healthy. Maybe the rebellious kids are the ones who hated fruit, but not because of the taste.
It’s also possible that in places like school lunches they get the cheapest possible thing whereas you can choose quality food as an adult
If you have kids, try cutting sticks of cucumber and carrots. Serve them in a bowl next to a bowl of candy. See which gets eaten first.
