My DS who turned 8 4 days ago, is obsessed with pepperoni pizza! And he loves cheesy beans on toast, roast dinners and lasagna.
My DD on the other hand, who turns 7 in 5 weeks, is seriously into prawns, paella, caesar salads.. she has a bit of a grown up taste, always has!

I babysat my cousins at that age.. they really liked:

- Enchiladas, made plain though - no spices, mild salsa (if any).. they just had black beans, corn, cheese, and tomatoes in them
- Raw veggies (cucumbers, carrots, red bell peppers, those little tomatoes {grape or cherry??}, celery)
- Grilled cheese sandwiches
- Peanut butter & banana sandwiches
- Pasta with plain tomato sauce (ie: Ragu)
- Chicken nuggets
- Ham

My son is 8 and he could live off of grilled chees sandwiches, chicken nuggets, mac and cheese annnnd, not much else, he's a poor eater!

My son is a great eater, i've always made sure of it

He loves:

My home made chilli and spag bol (he doesn't like jarred sauces)

My DB's homemade lasagne and macaroni cheese (West Indian style)

Veg, he prefers raw carrots but likes them cooked too. He likes Cabbage, peas, brocolli, cauliflower, sweetcorn, potatoes, cucumber. And used to like cherry toms, but says they make his "mouth itchy" so don't give him those anymore!

He also likes whole meal pasta and rice, chicken, fish, sausages and my Quorn products (I don't eat meat)

And he loves fruit!

Of course he also likes chicken nuggets, pizza and chips but he does not have them often.

He rarely drinks squash, it's water or apple/orange juice.

Some of the above healthy foods were difficult to get him to eat to begin with, but now he loves them!

And he gets choc and sweets as treats

My 6 year olds favourite foods are....

Pasta....any kind...cheesy, pesto, with prawns, bologneise etc

Home made chicken soup

roast dinners

mummy's special fried rice

and of course fish fingers too

 

[sezzlebum]

my eldest ( 8 ) loves sunday dinners and chicken in cream with pasta, my younger one (6) likes chicken korma or {sigh} fish fingers. Both love tuna mayo with pasta or jacket spud, or jacket spud with cheese

 

[mommy2]

My son is 7 years old and he loves spaghetti and meat balls, pizza and chicken nuggets

 

[bethany90]

I have a six year old who loves any kind of meat (and i'm a vegetarian lol) and she loves ice cream. But other than that she's very fussy

 

[Las78]

My daughter is nearly 8 and aside from the usual culprit - chocolate, she loves roast dinners, toad in the hole, spagbol and salad. She doesn't like pizza at all and just groans if we go to pizza hut lol, that really surprised me!

 

[MummaBump]

My 8 year old son loves a Roast dinner, Casseroles, curry's and Pizza when we go out to dinner he will always ask for "an adults 8oz steak- medium" lol....he doesn't enjoy anything sweet thou

My 6 year old daughter is a really good eater loves a roast dinner but will mainly eat the vegtables, loves salad, fish, and pasta and will devour our fruit bowl in a day... but she does have a slght addiction to chocolate!

Reading through everyones replies it seems the boys generally like the same things and the same with girls!
