In the US it’s not crazy for kids maybe as young as 6 to make themselves sandwiches like a PB&J/Ham & Cheese either if parents have an emergency, or to take to lunch for themselves because parents didn’t have time. (Or you know, they’re neglectful)
So is there a go to food for children to make in other cultures?
My favorite meal was cooking a hotdog on the open stove flame, campfire style. That charr was so good.
