Totally yes. But people can be weird. My mother refused to feed other children (one of her many problems!) so if they asked for food she would offer them marmalade on bread! Knowing full well most kids hate the taste of marmalade I'm sure.

When kids come to my house I make sure there is fresh fruit, something baked and something to drink. Now I don't expect other's to go out of their way when my kids come to visit and if it was a drop in like that I'm sure it would be anything I could find. But if my friends came to visit I would want to make sure they were comfortable, why would I not do that for my children's friends?
