I’m going to cop flak for this— but I don’t care.

I don’t even care if I ruin this pub favourite. The truth is more important.

This has gnawed away at me ever since I sat eating a chicken parmi and realized my son’s kid’s meal, nuggets + chips + salad and sauce is just a miniaturized concept. Rather, the parmi is just the ‘adultified’ version of the nuggets. You can @ me if you want to argue about the nuances about additional mozzarella, the difference between the sauces or even the number of nuggets versus the size of parmi, but I won’t respond. You and I both know now you are eating a kids meal and you need to grow up.

One thing remains constant, crumbed chicken, sauce, chips and salad.

You can’t run from it, you are eating a kids meal dressed in an adult’s name.

    Children’s food is usually a simplified version of adult food, right? I’m confused why this would shock anyone. When I have any complicated noodle dish with cheese, it’s just complicated mac n cheese, really.
