Boy vs. Food

As Jack is a dual citizen (American and British), he will no doubt be exposed to a variety of customs from both countries. It will be interesting to see what he picks up on.

Last night, for example, we made Jack a couple of frozen chicken nuggets (an American invention as far as I can tell). Kelly and I had an Indian meal - much of that country's food has been adopted by the British as our national dish.

Jack chose not to eat the nuggets; instead, he wolfed down a poppadum (a large chip typically served as an appetizer with mango chutney) and several portions of garlic naan bread. In the past, he's also eaten the curry sauce, but last night preferred to stick with the side dishes.

Next up in the culture wars - roast parsnips v green bean casserole.
