what strange foods do your toddlers like?

[Morph2]

My DS 2 next month has taken a recent likeing to irish brown soda bread, he can't get enough. I'm not saying its a strange food but not something i would expect i toddler to like.

freshly ground black pepper on everything. prawns

gecko likes prawns, curry, chilli con carne and chilli heatwave doritos
and all three of them must have Parmesan not cheddar on their spag bol

DS asked for the following on toast a few weeks ago (he kept asking what "gredients" we had and insisted on putting them all on

Butter
Marmite
Lemon juice
Oregano
Black pepper
Cinnamon

And he ate it and said it was nice

3 year old DS, brussell sprouts and cabbage.

DD (3) has a tiny list of approved foods but it does include pickled beetroot, coleslaw and as much Boursin as the world can produce. Due to her refusal to eat meat of any kind (except one type of sausage) she often has a slab of Boursin on the side of her meal ..... I like it, but I hadn't considered it with Yorkshire Puddings before.

DS1 yes to anything garlicky, olives, cheese( it was one of his first words!) the smellier, the riper the better. I understand the fear that your cheese may not be safe bornsicky He ran off with my feta earlier!
He also likes dried apple- that's probably not that weird but its weird to me!
He also is happiest eating ham as part of his essential breakfast routine!

DS will only entertain a pancake if it's covered with Marmite. Now I like Marmite, but on a pancake?!?

Pickled onions are DD's favourite.

Broccoli - with everything I'm not expecting this to last a life time so I'm giving her a life time supply now

Whole black peppercorns, dog and cat food, hot smoked salmon but not cold, hummous and sudocreme are all regular favourites.

She also likes her steak rare . Not sure if they are meant to have rare steak but when offered well done she point blank refused, and scoffed all of my rare steak. She's still standing!

wasabi peas (2.4)

DD loves salsa - she eats it with most things instead of ketchup.

FrankWippery at percebes.

Are pepperami odd? DD will eat very little so we don't get much chance to have an odd food that she likes.

She loves Pesto too and really garlic-y garlic bread.

Those percebes look revolting Frank!

My 2 year old loves cheese. In any form, he has grated cheese in a bowl for breakfast quite often. Every meal has to have cheese on.

He likes garlic and cheese mash.

DS 8 months, current favourites :- avocado, red pepper humous, brussel sprouts, garlic bread.

His breath is interesting to say the least.

(obvious your ds sounds fab!)

Sushi and sashimi in our house too. With lots of wasabi. Particularly octopus and cuttlefish.

DS will even suspend his 'absolutely no green food, green food is bleurgh and only eaten by weird people' rule for the seaweed!

I agree the percebes do indeed look disgusting (they're also called Goose Neck Barnacles), but they are divine. They're a cross between lobster claw and clams, that's the closest I can come up with. DD3 is a seafood fiend, and was pretty much weaned on the stuff as we lived on the beach in Spain for the first 2½ years of her life.

She also loves rare steak/Iberian pork too. IMO it is THE only way to eat both, so it's how I cook it. DD1 (18) has to cook her own steaks as I refuse to cremate them for her.

My DS is pretty fussy but loves spicy food (the other day he ate loads of a really delicious hot and sour Goan pork curry my DH made). He also loves Branston pickle and would eat it out of the jar if I let him. I should try him with gherkins (yuck) and pickled onions. I craved lime pickle when I was pregnant with him and that's hot and pickled, so maybe he would like that too!

Very spicy food - she stole some when we were first weaning her at 6 months old and hasn't looked back since. We have never come across anything too hot for her to eat (and dh likes his painfully spicy). She'll eat pretty much anything as long as you put it in a spicy sauce with rice.

She also likes rare steak.
