chicken drumsticks - kid food?

[Disneylover99]

I had to google images of chicken drumsticks. I thought everyone was talking about chicken wings. They’re chicken legs?

This was the only image in my mind.

I loved drumsticks as a kid. Never really gave to my kids, not sure why. We have chicken a lot and they prefer other pieces/styles. I don't think they eat them at all.

We have a couple packs of chicken legs in the freezer right now - I love roasted legs and thighs. Costco usually has really good deals on the legs and thighs in their Kirkland brand. They're a good cookout party food - usually, I'll roast them most of the way in the oven, then finish them on the grill.

I'm surprised how many people think that childhood favorites = "kid's food." There are many food kids love that aren't specifically or exclusively for kids. Most of the kids I know now LOVE sushi! I can see how my title was misleading about MY opinion though!

I knew what ppl were talking about, but we also just call them chicken legs. The only food we call drumsticks are the ones you pictured.

Same here... not sushi...but we never ate “kid’s food”. My favorite is still boiled seafood (mostly crawfish) which I’ve been eating as long as I have a memory of eating food.

Our kid food in the UK is slightly different- Heinz canned pasta shaped like cartoon characters, fish fingers, those delicious petit filous fromage frais, dairylea in sandwiches...Haven't had the latter two in years and years.

Could you give us a hint at what these might be? You lost me after fish fingers...

I'd never heard the term "kid's food", until I found the DIS. In my family, we all ate the same food. I raised my DS the same way.

We don't have fromage frais in the US; the closest thing to it is cottage cheese, but it's smoother -- kind of a cross between cottage cheese and cream cheese? In Europe it's sold like yoghurt, in little cups with fruit, etc. added. Dairylea is the trade name that Kraft uses for their marketed-to-kids products in most of English-speaking Europe -- things like Lunchables, and little wrapped cheeses that are a lot like Laughing Cow products.

All those are UK packaged foods for kids. They also have certain home-made items that are traditionally fed to kids, most notably soft-boiled eggs with toast "soldiers" (toast cut into strips for dunking in the runny egg yolk.) My immigrant parents served that one to us all the time when I was little -- before the USDA started the anti-salmonella campaign in the early 1970's and told us all that soft eggs were deadly, LOL.
