I went downstairs and found Fiona about to eat her lunch, that she'd chosen and prepared for herself. She's melted chocolate chips in the microwave and spread them on the inside of a hamburger bun.

Every feeling revolts.

That did it. I'm fleeing to the May Day Cafe for my own lunch. Away from my offspring.

Well, if it's just chocolate on bread (okay, hamburger bun), it's a very French way of eating.

If she added something else to the mix, too, though, I can understand your feelings of revulsion.

My childless SO and I are launghingat Fiona's lunch!

Now I feel guilty... I had popcorn. *wibble*

Well, there's better bread out there.

Other than that, while I understand the parental "but there's no protein in that!" reaction, it seems a perfectly reasonable snack.

Maybe you should get her some Nutella. At least it has milk in it. But she mightn't like the hazelnut part, I suppose.

I've been known to butter whole wheat bread, arrange chocolate chips on it, and put it under the broiler. The only thing I can say in my favor is that I do this as a snack, not as a meal. But the distinction gets blurry pretty readily.

Have fun at the May Day. I like their food a lot, and it's full of vegetables.

When my mother was a teenager, the soda fountain counter at the drug store in Storm Lake, Iowa, sold Kisswiches--basically grilled cheese sandwiches with Hershey's chocolate squares instead of cheese. I tasted one at the Storm Lake centennial, and they weren't half bad.

Chocolate on bread? Hmm... maybe I should try that!

Think of it as reverse chocolate fondue.

Still, it sounds both amazingly typical (when I was in that age range) and somewhat revolting (at the age I am now).

Flee! Eat _good_ food.

At least it's not grilled cheese with butterscotch and chocolate sauces. One of my sons has done that one. :P

In Fiona's defense...

I must say that this was her lunch dessert, not her lunch. She started with a hamburger bun slathered with peanut butter and a little jelly (remember the previous tear episode, part deux).

that wouldn't work with cheddar for me, but with a nice nutty-flavored cheese, i might at least take a bite to make sure it was really as scary as it sounds.

but then i eat peanut butter and dill pickle sandwiches--i got the idea from the mrs. piggle wiggle books when i was in third grade and i still like them.
