My 'boys' loved frankfurters too when they were younger. Personally I think they are totally foul.

I had frankfurters once as a child & threw up. Never been able to even SMELL one since without heaving. Yup my kids love them too. I always remember my little boy aged about 2 in a pub saw CHIPS for the 1st time. Had NEVER had them , yet immediately pointed to them & said he wanted them. And of course loved them, despite his organic, pureed fruit, veg & home made diet up to that point! ;o) I swear kids are born with a 'junk food' geneParadise Lost In Translationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507703496080523959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-30259140548742553182010-03-04T20:45:36.044+00:002010-03-04T20:45:36.044+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Paradise Lost In Translationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507703496080523959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-51259540088084468862010-03-04T20:37:19.710+00:002010-03-04T20:37:19.710+00:00oh I'm so with you.
