question about children's menu

[CEDmom]

I try to think of my DD8 as a choosy eater rather than a picky one. She eats a large variety of healthy food but there are certain things she absolutely will not touch.

Of course these are many of the things on the kid's menu. She hates melted cheese so that rules out grilled cheese, mac&cheese as well as pizza. She also doesn't like meat in her pasta.

Will restaurants be able to make pasta with tomato sauce or butter for her? She's fine with chicken nuggets, hot dogs and hamburgers but some of the places we're thinking of going only offer pasta and pizza.

Thanks.

I hate, hate, HATE the kids menus!!!! Why can't they just offer smaller versions of the adult meals? I'm not sure of the answer to your question but it seems that most restaurants [TS] are pretty accomodating. You should at least be able to get buttered pasta.

If they have pasta on the menu they will do just butter on it. We get it all the time for my niece and nephew.

On the "you pick" kid's meals, do you have to get all three things (the app., main item and dessert)? My little ones will not eat all of that. Thanks!

I know I will probably get flamed for doing this but at CS restaurants, DH usually took DD to the table and I went to order the food. If the children's menu was really bad...as it often was...I would just get her something off the adult menu and they weren't the wiser that it was for a child. DD also doesn't eat many "children's" foods.

To the last poster...apps are no longer included on the DDP so you don't have to worry about those. But yes, we got all of the things in the past and often used them as snacks later in the day (we took a lot of stuff back to the room and put in the fridge)
