“Kids will eat quite post food!” says quite posh cheese
A nation of budding foodies: Today’s children have more adventurous tastes than their parents did
Smoked salmon, goat’s cheese, garlic and salami might have seemed like exotic fare to previous generations but for today’s children they are nothing out of the ordinary.
A new survey has found that parents are encouraging their children to try more adventurous foods and more than half of all parents say that their children boast a far more sophisticated palate than they had at the same age.
Gone is the myth that children are too picky to eat anything a little unusual, then – the modern child can chew through all manner of grown-up food. Which is handy, given the company that employed Bad PR regulars OnePoll to come up with this finding:
A study carried out by dairy company Applewood Cheese across five generations of Brits across the UK revealed that nearly four-fifths of parents encourage their children to eat more worldly and stronger tasting foods than they were exposed to in their own youth.
