I was trying to be accomodating for my grandchild who wasn't wanting what I'd fixed. My sweet daughter in law said America must be the only place on earth where children had the "luxury" of being picky eaters. She just said don't worry about it. If he's hungry, he'll eat. No child ever died of starvation on purpose.

I have to take the 5th here, since I could say something similar about someone in my life. I LOVE Mexican food.

I think that's a great method for getting them to eat variety. We're big fans of "nachos" too since everyone can make their own.

Thanks for stopping by. On your blog you mentioned he only eats the outside of stuff. Keep offering it complete with the outside anyway, eventually he may change his mind. Plus who has time to peel apples and cut off crusts?

I like to make sure there is 1 thing each person will eat. I also serve them myself instead of letting them serve themselves. Otherwise they would never pick the salad, which they always eat, but wouldn't choose.

I think it's a useful tool for some kids, but kids with serious texture issues or overly sensitive taste buds really would starve! Speaking from my own experience.

My DAD is the pickiest eater! Growing up I never even had Mexican food until I turned 18. (It has since become one of my favorite types of food.) He can’t stand spicy food. He is one of those people where if two different foods are touching, it really irks him. (He once said one of his favorite inventions was that plate that has three “trays”…LOL!) He won’t eat anything green. He likes steak, potatoes, and pizza, in that order. And spaghetti. (I still refuse to eat it after so many years of eating it several times a week with the blandest meatballs I have ever tasted because he didn’t like spices.)

Fortunately, I am not THAT picky. It was definitely a real challenge for my mom to cook…for my DAD!!!
