By the Modern Mummy

Growing up, my mother had always prepared our meals with an extra touch of onions There was no meal made in our home without chunks of onions sliced and diced inside My husband was just like me, he loved onions, so it was very normal for me, and I assumed my child would not have a problem seeing large chunks of onions in his meal Boy, was I wrong!

One Saturday morning, I served my 5 year old son fried eggs and bread. The fried eggs had large chunks of onions, tomatoes, green pepper and carrots, “Mummy why do you keep doing this?’’ that was my son’s statement, “You keep adding these big annoying veggies that smell funny to our meals, why?’’ , Don’t you like it ? I sheepishly asked, “No mummy, it is getting annoying’’ he sadly said and left the dinning room

Then I realized, he had been managing the meals all these years and just got fed up one Saturday morning In all honesty, I always thought onions were every meal's golden ingredient. So I decided to do my research and discovered, most children do not like onions due to its strong and pungent flavor, the taste can be overwhelming. For young taste buds that are still developing they might find the taste too intense, the texture of onions can also be a factor, the slippery texture can be unappealing to some children

“Please mummy, I don't want to see or smell large chunks of onions in my meal’’ This is a reminder I get before he leaves for school, when he gets back or when he meets me in the kitchen

Dear Mothers, my son has currently put a ban on onions in our home till further notice.
