British Food

British food has a reputation for being, um, what is the nice way to say this? Simple? Hearty? The kind of cuisine that makes it easy to buy "meaty pies" with stomach in them at the local Sainsbury? Ryan and I actually quite like typically British food; there is nothing not to like about a lot of pastry wrapped sausage. But Eleanor has NOT been enjoying the British baby foods. You can't simply buy "green beans" or "sweet potatoes." The baby food is stuff like "venison with parsnips and cilantro jelly." That is a lot of new flavor for a baby to try at once, and she just can't do it; we've tried. So now I have to buy the fancy schmancy organic baby food that is simply "sweet potatoes with squash and quinoa." Quinoa though. Seriously. We don't even eat that super healthy grain and our baby does. But she likes the expensive food, which is the simplest food I can find, and we want to make her happy don't we? Oh, and they also don't sell any good "biter biscuits" - the little dissolve-in-your-mouth things that she's snacking on below (brought from home). They also don't sell PLAIN CHEERIOS. WHO DOESN'T HAVE PLAIN CHEERIOS? I mean, "pip pip cheerio" and all that and they don't sell PLAIN CHEERIOS - just honey nut, and babies aren't supposed to eat honey, right? Well, we are out of biter biscuits and can't find plain cheerios. Any good 7+month snack suggestions?

I tried to get a picture of her two little teeth coming in on the bottom - IMPOSSIBLE.
