The most surprising food your dc's like...

[boo64]

dc has his fair share of food fussiness but also surprises me with some things I didn't expect a 2 year old to like e.g.:

• smoked salmon (a boy of expensive tastes!)
• ground pepper added to food
• mustard
• raw yellow, red peppers
• boring dark green lettuce not just crunchy stuff

.....so, what are the most surprising things your dc's like to eat?

Now that I know the definition of the word munter, it just appeals all the more. You can't stop me using it, you know.

farkin calamari. sheesh

pointy is there a reason you seem to have got the hump today? Or am I misreading your posts tonight? you just seem a little, well .. a little irate tbh

oh how you envy us, pointy... i can smell it.

no I'm not irate. This is me in a chipper confident mood, actually. Bloody annoying, eh?

this is you chipper?

bloody 'ell

what happens when you're pissed off?

both the boys love beetroot which i think is yuck!
ds1 loves sushi.
they will almost any veg but strongly dislike baked beans!

my dc don't like seafood. They are the normal ones, believe me.

Fish heads. Have you ever seen Tin Drum?

Olives.
Physalis.
Smoked salmon and prawns.
DS1 eats everything.

rofl @ physalis

my 2 year old son loves pasta with pesto and pine kernels

DS1 has just started ORT books and is reading Funny Fish in which Biff catches a crab. One of the questions at the back of the book asks "What would you do if you caught a crab?" I think they're supposed to say "run away" or "throw it back" but DS1 said "cook it" and DD1 who was lurking, said "eat it".

Love my carnivores!

physalis still my fave

Had to google physalis!
Am I leading an incredibly sheltered life in that I don't eat that unusually. No squid ink for me, nor cockles, nor fish with heads.

No CAT here LL.

We don't eat just any animals you know. My dogs is 7yo and I've never been tempted to put him in a pan. (Mind you, he is Great Dane and wouldn't fit).

we are in teh majority, pooka. All is skewed on mn

aren't they pescivores..? [pedant]

yaaaasssss, I was wondering about pescivore too, aitch

theclosetpagan....I didn't think any child ate sprouts. I thought they were the sort of taste that you only acquire with age.....all the taste of a cabbage, concentrated into one bite. I'm 38 and I can just about manage one....give me another 30 years and I might be able to have a whole portion with my Christmas lunch

LL - I'll try and get Nic (that's the Duke) to mail you. He knows what he wants. Ahem!

(And for the 'pedants', it's piscivore).

yes yes, I made a typo
