Kids these days have never tasted classic tea-time staples like Toad in the Hole and Spaghetti Hoops

A survey found that classic British childhood foods like jacket potatoes and beans on toast are disappearing from dining tables across the country, giving way to more sophisticated fried chicken and Mexican tacos.

According to the survey, a quarter of children under the age of 10 have never tried toad in a hole and one in five has never tried spaghetti.

Up to 27 percent have never eaten cream of tomato soup, while a quarter (25 percent) have never tried tuna pasta casserole.

Experts said health-conscious parents, determined to incorporate nutrients into their children’s meals, were the catalyst for changing mealtimes and social media, where ideas for more adventurous dinners can be shared.

Almost two-thirds (64 percent) of parents surveyed said their children’s food is very different from what they were served when they were young. Half said many classic dinners weren’t healthy enough.

A quarter of today’s kids have never tried the toad in the hole – once a classic dinner – and jacket potatoes may be declining in popularity too…

Cream of tomato soup and chicken nuggets and chips are some old-school classics

Fish finger sandwiches and tuna pasta casserole may not be as popular as they used to be

In the survey, 77 percent agreed that dishes like fish fingers are now considered old-fashioned and outdated.

Toad in a hole (24 percent), frozen burgers (20 percent) and spaghetti tires on toast (19 percent) made the list of kid foods that fell out of favor.

Instead, kids are more likely to be served so-called superfoods like avocado, a key ingredient in tacos and burritos, both of which ranked among the top ten favorite family meals, and eggs, which are also high in brain-boosting omega fatty acids. 3.

Fried chicken and spaghetti Bolognese were high on the list of favorite dishes.

Kids these days also seem to have more sophisticated palates. Around 48 percent of parents regularly serve the Italian classic carbonara, 37 percent prepare tacos, the basic Mexican dish, and 36 percent often give their children a French omelette and salad as gifts.

However, Britain’s favorite old-fashioned dippies and soldiers remain a staple at the family table (40 percent), as does shepherd’s pie (57 percent).

Andrew Joret, spokesman for British Lion Eggs, which commissioned the survey of 2,000 British parents, said on social media: “Children’s food preferences and the way their parents feed them appear to be changing as both diet as well as social media influence their decisions.”

“However, our survey shows that eggs remain a favorite because they’re nutritious, quick, easy and affordable, and parents can serve them liquid to children of all ages, including babies, when they’re stamped with the lion sign.”

Overall, 87 percent of parents said they enjoy getting their kids involved in cooking meals, leading them to be more adventurous.
