What does your child eat that children are not 'meant' to like?

[FrannytheQuinoaEater]

Ds (2.9) loves olives, stilton, brie, goat's cheese, Indian takeaways, and he and his dad are currently working their way through a jar of Grey Poupon mustard.

I can't bear most of those and wouldn't have touched any of them as a child, along with many other hated things. How did I end up with a child that was so adventurous?

ds3 (19m) loves anything alcoholic he was going mad to get to his dads beer one night so dp dipped his finger in and let him try it, thinking he would screw his face up. we now have to be extremely careful when we have beer, wine, whisky - anything really, as he will go straight for it and glugs it like it is going out of fashion!

sprouts - loves em can't get enough! dd age 6

he also has a thing for curry. he will eat stuff even i struggle with.

Mushroom pate on Ryvita. He is 2.9.

olives
curry
prawns
pate
goat
aubergine

dunno... they tend to eat everything that's put in front of them (after a while anyway lol)

LOL colditz, is he watching his weight?

Guacamole, hummous, extra strong cheddar cheese, curry, taramasalata are all eaten with gusto by DD, who is nearly 3.

I know it's bizarre isn't it!?

He saw me eating it, that's what it's all about.

tomatoes, with everything. Okra

Goat that has to be the most exotic so far.

okra, dd, 2.11
spinach, all of them

Cinnamon altoids!!! Bleugh!!
And she is 21 months

DS1 - swede.
DS2 - smoked mackerel.

Yummmm swede. I weaned dd on that

They like chicken korma, broccoli, carrots and peas and most fruit too.

What is a cinnamon altoid???

Nasty strong mints. They come in a little tin, only these ones taste of cinnamon and they are ghastly.

broccoli. Tonnes of the stuff!

English mustard. Lots of it. (Used as ketchup alternative in ketchup-not-allowed meals to disguise the taste of the - yuck - food!)

smoked salmon
smoked mackerel
thai chilli sauce
extra strong mints
jerk chicken
tandoori chicken

she HATES peas but loves broccoli

not all in the same meal I hasten to add.

oysters

dd2 (4) Sprouts,salad (leaves,cabbsge,tomatoes,peper,cucumber etc), broccoli, extra strong cheddar cheese, anything that sends her sister (7) running for the hills, every fruit ever put in front of her or the same room even,etc.

dd1 used to eat things like broccoli, home made pasta sauces, rasberries but doesn't believe me when I tell her as she runs away. I do hope dd2 doesn't copy her!

DS2 (15 months)had dinner with us is in Carluccio's a couple of weeks ago and we had to ask the waiter to get him his own serving of olives without stones so we could eat in peace. DS1 favorite foods are asparagus and mackeral

ds (19m) likes curry, and nori (the seaweed wrapping on sushi).
