I've always bristled at the notion of "kid-friendly" food. It isn't because I raised my own daughters on truffles and raw oysters. Like everybody else, they grew up on chicken nuggets and Kraft Mac & Cheese. It's the idea that certain foods are inherently juvenile which just seems silly.
When my kids were little, I would serve Sabrett pigs in a blanket and Velveeta queso at their birthday parties, and it was always the parents who demolished them first. Grownups deserve fun food, too.
