SC - Lamingtons and kids' food

[Ian van Tets]

Hello the list!

Meliora, why don't you send your Twinkie-benefactor some snowballs 
and a packet of quandong jelly in return?

As to children, I've only come across one person who was genuinely 
fussy about food.  My 10 nieces and nephews are all fine - most of 
them got onto marzipan and olives at about 3 y.o., and have continued 
in that vein ever since.  Actually the last time I saw the 10 year-
old she was frying porridge for afternoon tea (that was 2 years ago - 
I'm told she makes really good filo pastry now, _every week_).  As I 
said, I've only come across one person who was genuinely difficult to 
prepare food for (I don't count allergies - they're fun to work 
around):  he has a total diet of about 5 items, and all of them have 
to be shop-bought.  I didn't realise how deeply the guest-law is 
ingrained until he came to stay for a week the first time.  And he's 
30 years old.  Please, don't let anyone's kids turn out like this.
