When you become an adult your taste buds mature and the foods you eat change to be a little more age appropriate. Here are some of those funny swaps from kiddie food to more adult friendly meals.
Kid – Chicken Nuggets
Adult – Chicken Goujons
A loved childhood favourite, chicken nuggets become slightly unacceptable the older you get which is why chicken goujons were invented! These sound slightly more mature but taste just as good.
Kid – Fish Fingers
Adult – Fish Goujons
Fish fingers were a great after school quick tea, but you don’t have be without the bread delight in adulthood because there fish goujons whether they’re lemon sole, haddock or cod.
Kid – Hot Dog
Adult – Chilli Dog
Spice up the simple sausage in a bread roll by making your hot dog a chilli dog, with some spicy toppings.
Kid – Ham and Cheese Sandwich
Adult – Croque Monsieur
Enjoy that classic ham and cheese sarnie into adult hood with the French adult alternative a croquet monsieur ( a toasted cheese and ham sandwich with a hit of mustard).
Kid – Hot Chocolate
Adult – Coffee
That warm wintery hot chocolate treat soon turns into a much needed energy pick me up when you hit adulthood commonly known as, coffee!
Kid – Tattertots
Adult –Potato Croquettes
These delicious crispy potato sides are a favourite to all kids but with age, a more mature option should be chosen (shame!).
Kid – Pepperami
Adult –Chorizo
That delicious slightly spicey sausage snack, grows spicier and gets put in everything as an adult when you discover chorizo.
Kid – Dippy Egg
Adult – Eggs Benedict
Not many meals beat dippy eggs and soldiers, until you get older and discover eggs benedict – breakfast/ brunch will never be the same.
Kid – Cheese Strings
Adult – Camembert
These stringy, cheesey snacks are always a break time to go food! However, when snacking and socialising munching ona stronger melted stringy cheese is a better option.
Kid – Icecream and Jelly
Adult – Eton Mess
This party food favourite can be matured in the form of eton mess, with sharp berries complimented by cream and meringue.
Kid – Kinder Surprise
Adult – Lindt Lindor Balls
The go to chocolate treat for kids has to be a kinder surprise because not only do you get choc but you always get a toy!
Kid – Jaffa Cake
Adult – After Eights
These orange filled little cakes (or biscuits?!) are soon swapped out for the minty hit from an after eight as this is no longer past your bedtime!
Kid – Crusts Off Bread
Adult – Crusts On Bread
Unfortunately, when you’re an adult you can’t really get away with taking the crusts of your sandwiches.
Kid – Walkers
Adult – Kettle Chips
Kettle chips are the more mature, slightly stronger crisps for adults to replace those classic lunch box walkers.
Kid – Ice Lollies
Adult – Sorbet
Nothing beat an ice lolly in the school summer holidays, but for adults sorbet is a sharp and sweet delight to be enjoyed in the sun.
