Nursery rhymes to sing before sitting down to eat!
To encourage your children to eat: establish a little ritual of vegetable rhymes! Here are a few that we loved and successfully tested at Good Goût ... Feel free to share your own by posting them in the "comments" section!
The leek
I dreamt that I was a leek,
A tender and beautiful vegetable,
The restaurant owner
Bought me for three francs.
He told the cook
"Cut off the tips of his toes"
Wash the tip of his nose
By rinsing it under the tap"
Thankfully, thankfully,
I woke up in time
Just in time, just in time
To avoid an accident!!!
The Vegetable Dance
All the vegetables, by moonlight
Were having fun -
They were having fun -
As long as they could -
And the passersby were watching them
The pickles were going around in circles
The artichokes were jumping in small hops.
The salsify waltzed silently
And the cauliflowers swayed with fervor
The marriage of vegetables
-Spring had just begun
We were in the garden
Leaning against the window
We watched from a great distance.
The artichoke, the artichoke that spoke to the apricot
My friend, my friend, will you soon bloom?
-Yes, I'm already getting ready
To wear beautiful flowers
It's to crown the head
From Brother Cauliflower
Who's getting married, who's getting married
With Mam'zelle Salsifis (bis)
- Redcurrants and raspberries
will be the bridesmaids
And for these beautiful young ladies,
We'll need some handsome gentlemen.
Who will be, who will be
tarragon and gherkin (bis)
And to close the party
We will have to play the violin
I have one that's at our house.
said my friend the cabbage
I'll play it, I'll play it with my pal the turnip (bis)
