Jamie Oliver designs kid's menu for Swedish hotel

jamie-scandic

Scandic Hotels, which are all over Sweden, are working with Jamie Oliver to create a new kid's menu. I've seen it, and it looks pretty good! (In fact, I'd say it has a leg up on most of the grown-up hotel menus I've seen.) I got to try the dish above, which is meatballs, pasta, broad beans, parmesan and a tasty tomato sauce, and it was really nice. The dessert is "smush-ins", which is a bowl of plain ice cream and a wide variety of toppings for the kids to pick and mix. Nice!

How Scandic came about asking Jamie is pretty funny. Apparently they had a conference, and had an exercise where they had to imagine that if their hotel chain was a person, who would it be? And apparently they came up with... Jamie. I'd have loved to hear the reasoning, and even more the phone call to Jamie to explain it...

Sorry, but I can't see kids liking this because of the parmesan. Kids generally just want to eat what they are used to eat at home.

And kids don't eat parmesan at home..?
