Tag: Complimentary food

In the mid-1800s, American bars started offering complimentary hard-boiled eggs as a standard practice. This tradition of having boiled eggs at a bar is rooted in both practical bar economics and the nutritional needs of patrons, making it a surprisingly logical choice for a pub snack.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), complementary foods are needed when an infant's nutritional requirements exceed what breast milk or formula alone can provide, typically starting around six months of age. This process of introducing solids is commonly, though mistakenly, referred to as complimentary food.
