in expecting my dc to eat brussle sprouts

[pingu2209]

I made up a fantastic (imo) bubble and squeek, but added yesterday's brussle sprouts. They refused to eat any of it.

I am not a restaurant, I only cook once, they eat it or go hungary.

Same here. Though it is a bit cruel to serve up a meal that you know they hate in advance.

Did you tell them brussels were in it? I never tell Cabbage and allsorts goes in mine. I make sure it's very finely chopped though. Covering in cheese or ketchup can disguise it too.

MMMMM Brussels sprouts, my favourite vegetable. An you package any leftovers up and send them my way.

IMO YANBU. They don't know what they're missing!

Maybe they didnt like it though. No matter how someone dressed up something that I didnt like, I wouldnt want to eat it.

However if they have eaten it in the past and like it then YANBU

Let them eat around it. I refuse to get into battles, I just tell them to eat what they want and that's it.

Do any of you roast brussel sprouts? They're lush, slightly crispy outside, soft inside mmmmmmmmmmm. My fave too SWP.

They are foul, foul things - DS2 (5) loves 'em (and his "say yes to Sprouts" t-shirt from M&S!).

Well done MTP's ds2

YABU - - they are the Devils bollocks. I won't eat them, so I wouldn't make my DD eat them.

You can try to get them to eat them.
Mine have eaten one or two each, when served them over the years.
But they are still on one or two, a decade later

They eat other veg no problem.

That's one or two each per meal.

I hate sprouts and bubble and squeak.

Brussels sprouts are revolting, in my humble opinion.
I never ever eat them and I'm old.
Kids have their likes and dislikes just like everybody else, don't force them on them.

DS adores sprouts, eats them cold in the evening after a roast.

boak< e'nuff said

fwiw, I have several kids. After a few years I got fed up of them saying yuk to this and that. and couldnt remember who disliked what, and how much.
So let them all write a list of their 5 most hated foods, and tried not to serve that food to that particular child.
The whole thing worked a treat.
Eventually we realised that really, they only had 3 foods each which they really didnt want to be served.

Brussels Sprouts are an acquired taste. I only acquired it when I was in my forties!

I really wouldn't force children to eat anything they really hated. If someone tried to do that to me I would be sick.

On the other hands, if they've eaten it happily previously then that's a different matter.

My children would have eaten all the sprouts you could give them. They were very strange children.

If you knew they don't like sprouts, then yes YABU. If they eat them at other times then you're not. But they may have a valid reason if they don't like sprouts

YABVU in my opinion.
Sprouts are the food of Satan, Taste foul and make you fart.

Think yourself lucky - DS adores them, and will steal cold ones from other people's plates. The atmosphere in the car to visit GPs on Boxing Day will be indescribable.

YABVU. I eat most vegetables but brussels are the except. They smell of rotten farts.

Yes. They're the work of the bloody devil. Foul things.

*exception

YABU! You have ruined bubble and squeek!!!
