[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 72293, member: 1991"] What a great response! Your fears were unfounded - it must be such a relief for you, especially after last year's horror time. I remember easy child in Kindergarten & Year 1 - another kid in the class would steal from lunchboxes, especially easy child's. I had to be careful what I sent in for easy child because of allergies, so when other kids were getting watered down artificially flavoured fruit drink, easy child was getting 100% pure fruit juice - a lot more expensive but no additives in it. When her lunch got stolen the teacher couldn't give her fruit juice to replace it, she only had the (much cheaper) fruit drink which easy child couldn't have, so she would miss out. The teacher quickly got this girl's measure, moved her closer to her desk for more careful supervision and easy child's lunchbox went to the administration office for safe-keeping. We then racked our brains and found food for easy child's lunch which this girl wouldn't like - dry bread and olives, a rare treat for easy child. And pickled octopus. Because I'd cooked it myself I knew it was free of additives. It would even have been permitted on difficult child 3's low allergy diet (once you allow any seafood). And kids who enjoy this, love to gross out their classmates by letting the little octopus legs hang out their mouths and making them wiggle. It might be something you could try difficult child on, if he's OK with seafood and likes calamari (tastes the same). I'll give you the recipe if you want - food can be desirable to kids for all sorts of strange reasons. Hmm, summer's coming on, I think I need to cook some more octopus. Marg [/QUOTE]
