Shoud I order a porterhouse steak for a 3 yr. old?!


Question: Shoud I order a porterhouse steak for a 3 yr!. old!?
I am planning a cookout and am ordering custom cut 2 lb!. porterhouse steaks for each guest!.

One mother insists her 3 year old have one also!. She says he probably will eat it but has never had one before!.

I am wary of spending $24!.98 on a steak for a child that probably won't appreciate the texture or flavor of this cut and would more than likely treat it like a burger!.

Thus my plan was to cook burgers for the young ones!.
What would you do!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Uhm absoloutley not, that is way to much food for a child and in honesty, the parent is being greedy and is probaly going to "take home" the left overs, chances is are its not for child i would just let her know that the younger children will be having burgers or something of that matter!.!. but thats way to much to spend on a child!. periodWww@FoodAQ@Com

Short answer: Cook the 3-yr old a hamburger or hot dog!.
Long answer: A 3-yr old will not appreciate a $25 porterhouse steak, therefore it isn't worth wasting a good cut of meat!. also, since you are treating the 3-yr old no different than all of the other children attending, it isn't rude!. You are avoiding a potential trip to the emergency room due to the child choking on a piece of steak!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

no you don`t order one for a 3 year old!.!. to me sounds like the mother is wanting to eat a second for herself!.!. i wouldn`t do it!.!. the mother can share hers with the tot!.!. there is no way a 3 year old is going to eat any more than a couple of pieces cut into tinier pieces!.!.do either burgers or wieners for the kids!.!.3 years old is not old enough for a 2lb!. steak!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

There is no way a 3 year old is going to eat that let alone enjoy it,I agree that the parent is just being greedy!. I would make burgers for anyone under 12 probably!. I know I wouldn't have wanted a nice steak when I was 3 =PWww@FoodAQ@Com

I think you should go with your plan of burgers for the kids!. It is wise!. If the mother feels she wants her child to eat some steak, let her cut a bit off for him from her portion!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, she is planning on taking it home as leftovers!. She is very rude to say you shoud get one for her child!. He can have some of her's & his Daddy's!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The kid gets what he gets!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

rule of thumb"hot dogs and hamburgers for children"parents can share theirs if they want to!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
