    Things have changed from the 1940's. Children require a varied diet, its one of the main reasons scurvy and rickets are less prevalent now.

    After the war bread was rationed. They'd have been sent to bed with a carrot and grateful for it :rotfl:

    I was going to suggest milky porridge. Cheap, quick, easy, filling slow-release carb.

    Single adult thinking.

    When children come into your life, you realise that they eat comparatively small portions of everything so want to make sure that whatever food you can get down them delivers all the nutrients they need. Carbs are fine for those of us who cannot be bothered to cook, but even I wouldn't inflict my culinary laziness on an innocent child!! I'd chop up a kiwi fruit instead :D:D:D

    It is just a snack.... not their "proper meal", so toast won't hurt them. Snacks are what you give them to shut them up while you're trying not to despair about having to prepare/cook yet ANOTHER meal (God knows, you did one yesterday, will it ever end....)

    What does she like to eat?

    DS3, as a teenager, needed a 'snack' when he got home from school, and yes, as far as I know he was eating lunch.

    His 'snack' was a double portion of flavoured couscous. We were able to buy it in large containers, fortunately.

    He would then eat whatever was offered for tea.

    I miss the hollow legs - they've all left home now!

    I remember getting a mug of hot milk or hot choc after dinner / before bed when I was litttle. It filled me up and also the warm milk would make me sleepy.

    Hi

    Soft boiled egg & soldiers

    My children liked what we called a "bits & bobs" bowl. Made up of things such as Grapes, cherry tomatoes, sliced apple, cucumber, nuts, olives, chunks of cheese, salami, ham, hard boiled egg, pasta. Basically bits & bobs from the fridge, fruit bowl & store cupboard.

    Cheese & crackers.

    I've been told that banana dipped in peanut butter is good but I've never tried it.

    Houmous & veg sticks.

    I was never very successful with sandwiches with children because they always got bored & didn't eat all of as too much bread.

    Jen
