Street food is delicious, affordable, freshly made, and it offers an authentic way to explore a culinary scene of a new country. Even if you’re a huge fan of trying brand-new flavors from local food stalls, your kids won’t always be too crazy about it, but you can encourage them to give it a shot in three short steps.
Baby Steps
Before ordering a full-course street food meal for your kids, consider taking baby steps. As with most other things you want them to embrace, you’ll have to lead by example and show them that you personally enjoy street food. Let them have a bite of your own meal so they could decide if they like it or not.
Right To Choose
Instead of forcing your kids to try certain dishes because you think they’re good, let them make their own choice. Explore several street food stalls and help your kids understand what they’re offering so they could find a dish that seems interesting and suits their taste.
Safe Bet
Even if your kids are not picky eaters, they might struggle to find street food they enjoy. When this happens, it’s best to go with familiar dishes and flavors they’re not intimidated by, ranging from burgers and fries to ice cream and waffles.
