So we all grew up (especially in Africa) with the notion that children should finish eating their meals first before going on to eat their meat. Infact, eating meat before you touch your food in some quarters is perceived as lack of proper home training.

So it got me thinking on what explanation to give my kids on this matter.

Allow them eat meat any point when having a meal. There is no sound or generally accepted rationale behind eating meat either at the end or beginning of a meal.

I think there really isn't any special time to eat meat while eating.I as an adult eat meat while eating food and it is a motivation to continue eating so I will not fuss about it if my children do same.

Well, they do not have to start with the meat anyway(I will not encourage that) but its not a big deal if they eat it a little into the meal. If big Aunt complains, Just laugh and tell her it doesn't really matter and try to convince her that its actually not a big deal.
