Adults ordering a kids meal for themselves

[Propflux01]

Some elderly people can't eat more than a kid's meal. I haven't had issues when elderly family members are with me and order a kids' meal.

On one hand a meal is a meal. On the other hand, some restaurants might sell kid's meals at a loss assuming adults will be with them generating profits and don't want adults talking advantage.

you know what assuming does.

Why buy more than you need?

My wife's and my appetites have gone down this year. We used to laugh at my older friends sharing a lunch sandwich while I ate a full one myself. Now, I'm with the older folks. Half a sandwich is good for me, often.

I don't order kids meals because they usually have a limited selection, like Spaghetti or Chicken fingers. But I would if I know I couldn't finish a full meal.

Cane's kid's meal is just right for lunch. If my wife and I go, we split the big meal. Portions are typically too big these days.

We do the same,When we aren't together, one of us brings it home,the other sets the table,and the dog waits by her dish

The portions that we eat are smaller and the time that we eat dinner is earlier.

My wife and I buy kids meals quite often. It fills up up and we really don't need to have larger portions.

McDonald’s used to have the “All American Meal”. At least during my time it was basically a Happy Meal without a toy.

However, it may have preceded the Happy Meal regionally.

I do it all the time for take out or room service. Some of those kid's meals are huge! I was staying at a Hyatt Regency that had sea bass on the kids menu, it was delish! Fleming's has filet mignon on the kid menu, you bet I ordered that.

I can't say I've seen a kid want sea bass or order filet mignon.

Once I was at a “classy” brewpub where I ordered a kids meal for my then 8 year old. Picked wild Alaska king salmon. My kid really wanted Mac and cheese, where a kids meal was the only way to get it. I didn’t even see a regular salmon entree on the menu. I ended up eating the salmon.
