A Child's Palate

bumpuser9353653

I find that a child's palate is much more accepting of an array of foods than what most people generally assume.  For instance, today, our 16 month old ate a mild brie for the first time and loved it and for dinner, we made a coconut chicken curry with jasmine rice and she gobbled it up.  She also loves broccoli, beets, peas, anything pork related, tilapia, mildly spicy foods, and many other things that other kids wouldn't even try as teenagers, let alone as a toddler.  I think it's wonderful when young kids have a diverse palate of foods they will eat, and I'm so thankful that our DD has been receptive to our offerings.  We get so excited every time she tries something new and enjoys it

 

What kind of foods do your kids eat that others are often surprised by?

My kid eats everything except for raw veggies. Literally will eat any cheese (blue and Camembert are his favorite), sushi, Indian food. Anything. He will lick raw carrots but not actually eat them though. And forget about cauliflower, broccoli, etc. he throws those.

She loves hummus.  There's also this quiche that I make quite often with Spinach and Feta cheese.  It's one of her favorite meals.

My 20 month old eats all kinds of odd things but will NOT eat, pancakes or waffles.  What a weirdo. She also doesn't really like cookies. 

Both my girls (3 yr old and 20 month old) love to suck on limes and love lentils.

DS loves curry.  Even the ones I find spicy.
