i think the last time i ate lobster was when i was a kid and out with my family! i have no problem with it, but it isn't my fave so i wouldn't ever order it. i like salmon, tuna, swordfish, even some shark. i have offered my kids tastes of it and they will take a bite, but haven't really acquired a taste for it. they are not remotely as bad as their dad and i really can't complain as they eat a wide variety of things, generally. i fault my MIL [may she rest in peace] for coddling my husband and having him be so food-challenged. i swore my kids wouldn't be that way, and they aren't.

Good for you! I certainly wasn't coddled; the rule in our house was that you had to have at least "a no-thank-you helping" (very small portion) of everything, so you'd at least try it. This even applied to my father, who loves raw vegetables in salads but has never loved them cooked.

The only thing I never had to eat as a child was organ meats, especially liver - my father hated those too, and mother couldn't make us BOTH eat them. She was outnumbered. :)
