DD1 and DS have fairly ordinary tastes - I would say DD1s fav is probably meatballs and DS is sausages.

DD2 (20 months) on the other hand devours olives and loves sushi!

DS1 - grapefruit, physalis, spinach, olives, fresh herbs.

DD - just glad she eats.

DS2 - houmous, olives.

DD loves olives, cooking apples straight off the tree and (as of tonight) noodles (she thinks they're worms). She is 18mo.

tudorrose · 14/10/2010 20:51

DD2 loves sprouts. She will plead for me to buy them.

taffetacat · 14/10/2010 20:53

DD likes dippy eggs so much she tried to eat the shell too, I have to whip it away. She also likes sucking lemons.Hmm
DS likes nearly all veg, all meat, but is a PITA with carbs

They both like nuts and shellfish. A lot.

MollieO · 14/10/2010 20:55

Chorizo and dry roasted peanuts.

Yours are all so healthy, mine would eat for every meal "riggyrolls" or fig rolls to you and I, because of the "jam", but try and put Jam on anything and she will throw it at you.
Bonkers, oh and cucumber for every meal too. barking!

DrMcDreamy · 14/10/2010 21:07

Pasta Carbonara! She'd have it for every meal if she could.

AngelDog · 14/10/2010 21:08

Mango, banana, cucumber and dragon fruit.

Oh, and greengages.

He's only 9 m.o. though.

overmydeadbody · 14/10/2010 21:10

I'd say olives and sushi are pretty normal actually. Like humous. Staples for most of us. Hardly obscure really.

Obscure would be weetabix with ketchup, or liver and kidneys with chocolate spread or somesuch.

largeginandbloodpunch · 14/10/2010 21:12

Spicy humous and olives. Ds5

Octopus sandwiches. Twins when 3 (still now)

Gemjar · 14/10/2010 21:15

DS is obsessed with cereal, it doesn't matter what kind, just any cereal. He also likes celery and lemons.

My little brother who is 7's favourite food is octopus - fairly obscure

taffetacat · 14/10/2010 21:16

I think most children would eat liver if you spread nutella on it overmydeadbody

CitrusZest · 14/10/2010 21:52

DD2 loves Earl Grey. I make it quite milky and put it in a beaker. She likes regular tea too but not quite as much!

SheWillBeLoved · 14/10/2010 21:56

Really strong cheese, cheese that even I say 'oof!' to, and I love strong cheese! Sour fruit too. For example I had to leave an orange a few weeks ago as it was so sour it was inedible to me, she trotted over, grabbed a wedge from the plate, and sat scoffing it for half an hour.

Other than that, she's pretty normal. 14.5 months btw.

Ragwort · 14/10/2010 21:58

Moules frites Grin

Agree re: strong cheese, remember going to a friends for lunch and we were offered 'mild cheddar' sandwiches - which he spat out !!

TimothyWerewolfTuppennyTail · 14/10/2010 21:58

DS's perfect meal would be cheese on toast and meatballs with tomato sauce and broccoli.

Hmm
taffetawitchescat · 14/10/2010 22:00

yy to moules frites, on hols in France this summer DD wanted all the weeny crabs that hide inside the mussels. She had to fight DS for them.

Smash09 · 14/10/2010 23:58

DD1 - Prawns - not obscure but funny she gets so excited about prawns!

DD2 - Chilli and tomato relish (mild) on cheese on toast!

MrsVincentPrice · 15/10/2010 00:08

DS will steal cold sprouts from other people's dinner plates. He is also fanatical about pine nut and cashew nuts.

DDs favourite meal is seafood ramen with loads of squid and mussels from the local noodle bar. Runner up is calamari, which she has instead of pizza in Italian restaurants. But unfortunately she waves her fondness for squid around to hide the fact that she's appallingly fussy otherwise, and would live on sweeties, doughnuts, and lemonade given half a chance.

allhallowsandwine · 15/10/2010 00:14

DD loves sprouts and i hate them and she is very aware that if we have them I MUST also eat them to set a good example as I ask her to test everything on her toungue even if she does not like it, just incase she changes her mind!! so she gets 4 and i get 2.

salami and strong cheese. chineese style pork meatballs and noodles.

her favorite is stew and dumplings.

gaelicsheep · 15/10/2010 00:38

DS loves spinach and likes broccoli & stilton soup.
