ds ate a casserole

[Blandmum]

ds has always been very picky about food that is in any way 'mixed up'. He would never eat a sunday poast with gravy on it , for example.

He just ate a beef casserole! My god! I feel a corner has been turned!

Blimey,well done mb - mine wouldn't touch casserole with a barge pole. It's all I can do to coax lasagne down them. Fussy oiks!

He started eateng lasagne about 6 months ago. He didan't eat it with relish, and he didn't eat it all, but he did eat some of it!

'real food' as a family now seems a possibility!

And he ate my rice pudding, but youwould have to be mad to miss that

oh I am jealous MB - well done. My ds is the same. If I cook a casserole I have to 'rinse' the sauce off before mine will touch it.

Odd isn't it? He would always ate pasta and bolonaise sauce....never minded that being mixed up. At times that was about all he ate!

The break through for us came with pizza....not health food,, granted but a big step for ds!

Well I feel qutie pleased that mine will now eat pizza - at least it has tomato and cheese on it,and sometimes I can sneak ham onto it - shock, horror!!

how old is ds, MB?
my 6 yr ds1 won't touch anything mixed up, or sauce on or gravy. He has to have his food in separate piles on his plate - -it drives me nuts sometimes - can you give me any hope?

and how did you do it?

ds still picks bits off pizza though! He hasn't gone totaly Jamie Oliver over night!

And when he was first weaned he'd eat anything!

dd does eat anything and until I had ds I smuggly thought that picky eaters were the result of bad weaning How the mightly were humbled

He will be six in March.

Dare I admit this?

Oh go on then......

I wasn't me at all

It was his dinners in school!

My son leaned to eat 'proper food' from his school dinners, nor my delia/ nigella wonderful creations

I think it helped him to see all his mates eating stuff tbh

Same here mb - ds1 is particularly fussy and he was soooo easy to wean and ate all manner of things that I mostly made myself. His diet was so fab back when he was a baby! Now his diet is good nutrition wise but it's just sooo limited!

ds1 has always eaten anything and tucked into my casseroles with gusto.........until starting school in Sept. Now I get " Eeuch, disgusting Mummy".

Grrrr, don't know how long "Shame cos you are going to eat it" will work!

no hope for me then - -no school dinners in primary in MK - only packed lunches.

and peer pressure seems to cut no ice with my ds1

thank goodness for ds2, who eats just about anything except cheese

gobbledigook

Snap! Snap Snap!! And then ds 2 started copying ds1 and now I only have about 7 entire meal options which both will eat . But they are balanced meals (ish).
