I scream

Vegetable ice cream.

I can see what she is aiming for.

Children who are fussy eaters (I have one who loves pasta but doesn’t like spaghetti, by way of a very mild example) probably like ice cream.

So make an ice cream that tastes like something healthy, and they’ll probably latch onto the flavour and try the real item.

But I see a few problems here:

  • Children like flavours such as chocolate and strawberry. The odds of them agreeing to try pea flavour is about even with them wanting to try peas in the first place.
  • This will probably end up putting kids off ice cream entirely. Well done. That’s one less food they will actually eat. It might be fatty, but at least it is dairy.
  • She’s suggesting that the best way of stopping children from becoming obese is TO EAT ICE CREAM.
  • She’s the wife of a famous chef. Not a famous chef, nor apparently a chef at all. She’s simply using her name to try to launch a business venture. It’s not like Gordon Ramsey has launched a Jamie Oliver style Childrens food campaign. Yes, I realise that Linda McCartney did the same thing with her vegetarian range of foods, but at least her and Paul were both veggies, and it stopped her trying to sing with Wings.
  • Broccoli ice cream? I like broccoli. If you do, would you honestly try the ice cream? Me neither.

    Children

    I have odd conversations with my children.

    A few nights ago I was walking with my sons and told them to be careful as the recent rain had driven a lot of snails from their shelter.

    My eldest asked where they were going.

    “That grass over there,” I answered.

    “Why?”

    “Dunno. To find some food, maybe to play with their friends.”

    “That’s silly. They are snails. They don’t play…..and anyhow they’d be rubbish at football.”

    Refer me to someone

    I’ve always been curious as to what brings people to a website. Any website.

    Ah, okay, I admit it. One of mine.

    So I’ve dug around, and this is the list:

    gravis phantoms

    I have no idea.

    eastenders storylines 2003-2005

    Equally puzzling.

    how to iron silk

    I seldom iron. I don’t own any silk, so…..

    never shout armadillo in a moonlit field

    Interestingly I thought I’d made that up, so I’m surprised anyone is looking for that phrase. Well, they found it.

    !

    flipper aberystwyth

    I know Flipper did a shoot in Wales, but I’m not convinced anyone there would have known him as the Great Flipperoo.

    tartan hummer

    I’m guessing they mean the vehicle.

    tom oliver navy frequency

    What’s the frequency, Kenneth?

    describe a first date

    An odd request. “Nervewracking” would probably suffice.

    dreamy time escorts

    That’s us, matey.

    desk smells fish sniff around

    ?

    foil leotard adult

    Foil?

    cubicle ettiquettes

    Never say “I’ll name that tune in 3″ in response to the person in the next cubicle passing wind.

    accidents involving milkmen and milk bottles

    Dunno. I know a lorry driver who managed to get run over by his own lorry, though.

    remove smells from furniture

    I’m guessing it’s connected with the last one:
