its interesting to see some of the difference in my kids compared to me as I grew up in wellington.
Here's the lastest example from Miss 4 as she saw me dishing up dinner -
Ruby - whats for tea Mummy?
Me - lamb!
ruby - (with her nose screwed up + a sad look on her face) NO not lamb Mummy!!!
Me - oh, I mean meat
Ruby - Ok Mummy (she skips away saying) that will be nice!!
Remember never say to country kids that have pets lambs we are having lamb for dinner. Remember its MEAT!!! :)

Ahh Rach, what a sweetie. Must be hard but a good lesson. My DH tells me a similar story about going to his brothers for dinner and asking whats for dinner and his niece said Number 1234 with the pretty white face. LOL!
LOL .. poor Ruby! Hope she ate some in the end.
Country kids rock!! p.s. they feel the same way about pigs LOL

LOL - you should try 'reindeer toes' (the leg of a deer with the hoof still attached) that they see coming into the house & then eating them.... my kids love it even though they knew!
Lol, I remember not eating meat for a long time after my pet cow disappered! I am still careful what I say to my city kids about meat!
LOL
*always* be careful talking to kids about food LOL
LOL!
I am so not a country kid, I'm sure I couldn't eat anything that I used to 'know'.
It's funny, my son used to ask the same question and if I said 'beef' he'd demand to know what animal that was from.
How cute....met someone recently (an adult) who said they could never eat thumper, bambi or miss piggy.
