That kids from South Africa scarf mealie pap, a maize- or cornmeal-based porridge? And that Israeli toddlers are typically served one of three kinds of sandwiches for lunch: olive and butter, salted cottage cheese, and chocolate spread?

Mr. Mom said...Neat article. It's funny because my son (A North American boy of 4) prefers sushi for breakfast. Sometimes, if we have time before the pre-school drop off and he's been good the previous day, we'll stop and get a little spicy tuna roll or some mackeral sashimi. If my parents offered it to me at that age, I would have been revolted. I love sushi now, and I think he's just following my lead.
