Im lucky in that my kid will eat any vegetable you put in front of him except cauliflower. Hes been eating odd stuff since he could gum it (tofu,green/red peppers, etc.. ). Only kindergartener I know who wants carrot sticks in his Superman lunchbox. ;)
My 9 year old daughter is as finicky as they come. Doesn’t like most kid staples, e.g., pizza, hot dogs and the like and refuses to even try something different. My 7 year old son is the opposite. He loves pretty much everything including the exotic—sushi, smoked oysters and clams, crab etc.—and will try anything. That said, for meals they “get what you get and don’t throw a fit”....
