🧐Genuine Question!
What was the most random thing you were fed as a child???
As a Child Mental Wellbeing Coach, I spend quite a lot of my time reflecting on my own childhood.
Oddly, I have very few memories of my childhood which I think is possibly due to the fact we were always renovating and moving house - we moved 5 times before I was 11 years old.
Anyway, one constant memory is a Banana Sandwich, which was a staple meal!!!
This morning I decided to try a banana sandwich!!!
It’s been playing on my mind so decided it was time to put it to the adult test!!! Honestly, it’s hideous and tastes revolting! I’m glad I’ve put this maddening thought to bed (it will never be sampled again!)
There are also vague memories of my grandmother adding sugar to crisps and tomato ketchup to baked beans!!! “Just to sweeten them up dear!!” (As if they weren’t sweet enough!! 😜)
These memories have really made me giggle this morning - no doubt our own children will have some dietary nuggets to share in years to come of what they have been given throughout their childhood too!!! (Hoping not though as obviously our parenting has been absolutely perfect (not)!!!! 😂😜)
