If there were one food stuff that you wish your child would eat...

[codswallop]

I wish ds1 would revert to eating ham and ds2 would eat potato

DS1 won't eat much in terms of diary stuff - bit of milk. Hates cheese with a passion. I have a theory that as a small baby (and even then a bad eater) he would eat cheese sauce, so he got it nearly every day.........hence now he things it is the devils own and won't even have it on his plate.

coddy .... yes, but if you see the "I want to resign' thread, I've certainly had my moments with him!

Pupace, I know plenty of kids eat brocolli, sigh. It's just that DD1 won't eat anything unless it's a fish finger or peanut butter sandwich.

I wish my dd would come up with a less revolting way of expressing her dislike of certain types of food. Spitting onto the floor and pulling hideous faces is funny the first 200 times. Still it makes the dog happy...

My kids call broccoli "trees". They eat it too.

OK SO IF YOUR CHILD EATS BROCCOLI YOU MAT NOT SAY SO !!

We need a raspberry icon, or a moonie one .

Have smushed up some spinach in tonight's mince...wonder if they'll notice

Strangely, DD loves broccoli. Would love it if she liked rice, tomato, green peas. She does like corn and pasta, but it would be nice she if she liked more of a variety.

Mine like all that Tinyfeet, but ds1 hates onions and mushrooms. I end up chopping some into big pieces, and some into teeny tiny bits, so he focuses on fishing out the big ones, then hopefully eats some of the others without noticing.

Oh lief must be tough!!

Try getting ds 2 to even eat a banana

Coddy.

(They love bananas too !)

(coddy restrains herself!

I use onions and mushrooms in virtually everything, so there is always angst at mealtimes, does that help?

yes and i hope you smell all oniony allthe time

I wish dp would eat banana. He is banana-phobic and won't come downstairs when I or dd eat one. Means we can't have them very often.

dd will eat olives and brocolli, but not eggs. What's wrong with egg??

I'm going to get everyone hating me now, but the boys in particular love egg. I'll go away now and compile a list of things they don't like, and make sure it is very long.

Happy to say DD also likes egg. I think egg is a perfect food in a lot of ways. Ever since DD was once very constipated - she cried when she pooed after having bananas, I vowed never to give her any more. So yes, we have no bananas!

tinyfeet - funny, bananas have the opposite effect on dd! (Codswallop, you may have had a lucky escape there)

LOU!!!!

ACTCH MY BOYS LIKE EGG

I'm still writng my list coddy.

eggs - yuk - horrid.

the secret spinach went down a treat
