Are there any foods your kids would not eat, or that you had to warn of disciplinary consequences if they didn't eat? My son's were peas and celery. My grandnephew's was oatmeal.

My daughter, growing up, was not really a fussy eater at all. I guess that she takes after her dad in that regard.
 
I don't have any kids. But when I WAS a kid, my mother had a cure for that problem. She cooked food and we ate or did not eat.

You can tell by looking at me, I didn't go hungry.

I don't have any kids, but my Mom used to make us eat a small salad at every dinner. We couldn't leave the table until it was gone, and we didn't have a pet to slip it to.

I HATE raw tomatoes and/or chunks of tomato, and she always included at least one wedge for each of us. So every night, I would literally hold my nose and try to somehow get that raw, slimy horror down the hatch.

Now, tomatoes made into COOKED things, like sauces, are a whole different story.

Pizza sauce, spaghetti sauce, even tomato soup (as long as there are NO chunks!!,) now we're talking!

But RAW, straight from nature??? NO THANK YOU.

If I'm going to eat tomatoes, they have to come in a form that's far removed from their original form.
 
I can only speak for my childhood self :).. When i was a kid i could not stand Brussels sprouts.. :sick: (n) And i still avoid them like the plague.. Bitter little devils :devilish:
 
My oldest didn't want to eat green beans. I told that if she opened them up she'd find presents inside. After that, green beans were well received by all of our children. I never served them the yucky stuff like brussels sprouts and artichokes...

How did you get away with repeatedly serving your kids green beans -- but with no actual presents inside?!! :eek:

I would have been (loudly) complaining about false advertising after the 2nd bean! :oops:
 
I don't have kids! Well, not my own, anyway; I've got Step-Kids, though!

I'm sure you found that to be fascinating information!

Carry On!

And as British used to say :TALLY HO, OLD CHAP! AND DON'T SPARE THE HORSES!

Lord, thank you for giving me the children you did. I don't think I could have managed a young seoulsearch... ;)

I'm sure a lot of my Bible and Sunday school teachers were saying the same thing!! :LOL:

The even worse news is -- I just keep getting MORE ornery as time goes on (just ask my friends and family.) :cool:

Please -- SOMEBODY pray for my poor parents! :p:ROFL:;)
 
My stepdaughter has many food aversions, but not the usual suspects. She will happily eat peas, broccoli, and Brussel sprouts, but balks at mushrooms, any fish or seafood, or even remotely spicy food. She is also picky about fat on meat.

They are not bitter anymore. food nerds have been tinkering with them the last few years and the kinds they serve now are not bitter at all.
