Coming late to the party, but this thread really strikes a chord with me. My dad was in the restaurant business, and my childhood was essentially a seven-course dinner at a wonderful bistro. I was NOT allowed to dislike any food UNTIL I tasted it. We ate all over the country, and then all over the world. I really appreciate wonderful food; the only thing I ever truly disliked was Nopales cactus, which I had in Mexico. Yuk.
I have always been amazed at the concept of “picky eaters.” Expose kids to a variety of excellent food and there will be no problem. BTW, “excellent food” does not include packaged, canned or frozen stuff. Truly, it’s very easy to cook from scratch.
I love nopales in an omelet. I mix it into the eggs with some cilantro and different spices
Nom nom !
