Giggling Squid has announced its nationwide search for ‘Squidlet Critics’, young foodies who will get the unique chance to critique the new kids’ menu and give their feedback to the Thai restaurant.
This May half-term, little ones with a love for food can be nominated by their parents to become a Squidlet Critic. At the tasting, the little critics will take a tour of the
kitchen, meet a Giggling Squid chef to learn about the ingredients used in the dishes before sitting down to offer their critique of the meal with a child friendly feedback form.
The search comes after research by Giggling Squid revealed the tastebuds of UK kids are more refined than they get credit for and revealed that children are ditching the plates
of beige for more exotic flavours with almost half (47%) of children saying stir fry is amongst their most liked dishes, over half of UK little ones able to identify tofu (55%), and half (50%) of children choosing a spring roll at snack time.
The all-new kids’ menu is bursting with Thai flavours, from mouth-watering dishes such as
Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce (£1.99), Pineapple Fried Rice
with Chicken or Prawns (£7.99) and Pad Thai Noodles (£7.99) –
so forget about chicken nuggets and pizza, kids get to enjoy the same authentic Thai tastes as their parents at Giggling Squid.
Giggling Squid’s Culinary Director, Agnelo Pereira comments, “We’re excited to announce
that the entries are officially open for our first Squidlet Critics. The chosen, young foodies will give us some invaluable insight into what dishes on our new kids’ menu are likely to go down a storm and those that may still need some tiny tweaks. We’re excited
to hand over the reins to the to the next generation of foodies who share our passion for great tasting dishes”.
Parents can apply on behalf of their little one by sharing in 100 words or less why they believe their child would make an excellent Squidlet Critic and send it to
