Firstly deep fry everything to ensure number of our deaths from heart disease continues to lead the western world. Perhaps if you deep fried Kraft Dinner you'd learn to love it and consider it just fine for your children. |

Hold on - that might just work. Take one dollop of cold & congealed Kraft Dinner, coat in a good thick batter, deep fry until crispy and golden. For added finesse, shape the dollop of KD into a sausage first, so it's easier to hold onto and bite from one end.

Seriously though, yes Scottish food has a bad rep - not always justly deserved - but people do love to hold on to their out dated stereotypes. I am not claiming Scottish food is healthy - the point is so many Canadians blabbing on about how rubbish British food is when their own food is pretty crappy is a bit rich. Salt levels in food over here are the worst - I have resorted to making my own sausage meat because I can't eat the stuff they produce here it's so salty. |
Re: Canadian stereotypes of Britain?
I find that children's menus are fairly limited in Canada- Poutine, pizza, fries and something....I haven't come across anything healthy. We usually ask for something to be made..

We tend to try and order something off the adult menu each for us, just ask for a side salad or veggie side order for her and then take stuff off our plate. The portions are usually huge enough anyway. If we order a takeaway we only order one main course and one starter and split it 3 ways - and still have leftovers. |

Oh, so you're the one? The new Scottish Police Force has you on its Most Wanted List. Now they know where you are they can begin extradition proceedings. You could be visiting the Auld Sod earlier than you planned. |

I have no idea what the children's menus are like in Britain - left 8 years ago before we had kids. But I would assume it's about the same. I'm pretty sure there are no people in Britain saying look how awful Canadian food is compared to ours.. |

I think there was starting to be.... I never find that any veg is offered in Canadian kids meals- whereas in the UK definitely so.

Maybe. There's certainly no shortage of nuggets/pizza/macaroni UK kids menus though. Ideally, we would be like the French - just serve a smaller portion of something from the main menu as the kid's menu.
