I asked my 10 year old if she would eat €śsalad frosting€ť, and she wrinkled
up her nose and said €śno!€ť This trick may work for a short time (one time)
on much younger kids (the under 4 crowd), or kids to whom the packaging and
€ścute€ť name appeal to (but are old enough to know what it really is), but
the concept of eating it simply because its called frosting is dumb.
Theyre not fooling anyone.
I grew up in a family of hunters, and deer sausage was always called €śBambi
meat€ť, especially to the littlest kids. No matter what it was called, I
always knew it was deer meat. The name made no difference. Then again, I
liked it, so getting me to eat it wasnt an issue.
