Friday Five: Food

[brigid]

I’ve got a dual Friday Five for you, involving some of Niko’s favorite foods.

First up, we have his five favorite healthy foods:

• Apples
• Plums (even though they have A SEED)¹
• Carrots ²
• Strawberries (both fresh and dehydrated)
• Corn

Now, so you can feel superior to us and our food choices, his five favorite unhealthy foods:

• Fruit Snacks ³
• Pretzels
• Popcorn ⁴
• Chocolate Raisins
• M&Ms, also known as NEMINEMS

1. He mentions this every time he eats a plum, juice dripping all over his face and chest and hands, and he also asks us to “take out the seed” of fruits that don’t have seeds. Like seedless grapes. ↩
2. Sometimes I cut them into carrot sticks, sometimes he just wants a giant carrot. He chows down handily on them. ↩
3. He has three varieties: small fruit snacks (what you think of, when you think fruit snacks), big fruit snacks (a peel-apart fruit snack bar), and new fruit snacks (a long stick). He doesn’t handle fruit leather well. ↩
4. Choking hazard? What choking hazard? He’s always closely supervised while eating it, and sitting down. Yes, that means when he’s eating other foods he generally 1) isn’t closely supervised 2) isn’t sitting down. ↩
