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?

pointydog, what are you upset about?

OK let's get away from all the poncy type food. My dd likes the following and begs to be allowed to eat them:

marigold powder straight from the tub
raw pastry
margerine straight from the tub

and was a bit put out when I wouldn't let her eat a raw pork chop.

dh's family is from SA we make our own biltong. Moule was (on my part) a spelling eror, the wink an error on my part too.

Conkers
Coal
Sawdust
Tic Tacs

ok. You've rolled your eyes twice and said 'get a grip'. I'm off.

Let's not get competitive. I'll only start trying to cook both little lapins and pointy dogs. Maybe at the same time.

And if it tasted OK I could start farming \link{http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/512TWD177PL.AA280.jpgPointy Lapins}. Mmmmm.

And tries the link again... Pointy Lapins

That was very WIERDY!!! Supposed to be this. And if that doesn't work I don't care. I'm orf!

Lapin & Me site - niiiiice!

pointy, biltong..its dried cured meat in strips i think south african
horrid methinks ....but then i dont eat meat ..

ds..expresso
has very small one!

was going to say smoked mackrel and smoked salmon! but fish seems common to like

actua;lly lapin, you completely misunderstand me. I am not at all pissed off. I am in a happy mood. I was not in the least bit angry, in fact very few things on mn make me angry. If they did, I wouldn't come on mn. I enjoy seeing things in a humorous light, I know some people think that's twattish but I don't care.

I am now feeling a little pissed off because I can't stand people doing the rolling eyes things to me or saying things like 'get a grip'. Personal bugbear. Don;t mind being sworn at or pretty much anything else.

and that did sound a bit pompous and I regret that

DD1
cat litter
toilet roll
dirt
any kind of paper
chalk
crayons
play doh

shes 3 now and still eating allsorts, oh and is a picky eater of FOOD

DD2
fav dish is red pesto pasta and garlic bread

biltong is pretty common, though, pointy... so it did come across like you were beign a bit aggressive for no reason. however, i adore you so don't get cross.

brie and camembert

I thought a biltong was something a butch woman wore on the beach.

You live and learn

I met a pompous twat in France a couple of years ago. Reckoned he went there every year (with wifey). They adored the climate, the lifestyle ... and the moulins and chips.

Twat.

Ds had a roll mop today and loved it.
i felt ill just watching him eat it but he wanted more.

don't go smoochy aitch. I'm on the riesling.

(I'm going to do a biltong test now you say it's common)

DD eats the bread that's gone a bit mouldy and is used for the ducks. She can't resist slipping a bit in her mouth as she's feeding them in a sort of one for you, one for me style.

I try not to be surprised at anything that the dcs like or don't like because I think the more they see you react the more they play on it. That's how fussy eating starts in my opinion. However I was quietly smug when my little ones went crazy for the row of exotic looking herbs and spices at the market while a lady opposite struggled to get hers to pick out some apples. Shame they've now got expensive tastes, which I will wholeheartedly admit is my doing...
