S/O - Surprising things your kid WILL eat

And no, I don't mean dog food or other non-intended cuisine.

What have your kids tried that you thought for sure they would dislike but actually loved?  Something you wouldn't guess a toddler would eat. 

For example - There's not much my kids won't at least try but DS loves saurkraut and both DS & DD gobble up coleslaw.

  • My son loves mussels.  He was afraid to try the first time because of the texture in his hands but curiousity got the best of him and after he tasted them he couldn't shovel them in his mouth fast enough.

  • He's 16 months and he freaking LOVES hummus.  He eats it with a spoon.  Since he hates all beans, I didn't think the hummus stood a chance!  Also, dried prunes.

  • He loves salad, even without dressing. He'd be happy munching on iceberg lettuce if I let him. He also likes coleslaw.

    He also loves sour things, like lemons and limes. He loves to drink water with a slice of lemon in it.

  • My 1 year old loves asparagus, I was very pleasantly surprised ??
  • Canned green beans. She would eat them straight from the can if I'd let her. She also really like sauerkraut when we let her try it, but it made her incredibly gassy so she hasn't had it since.

    The first time we gave him a thin orange slice at a restaurant he ate it all, including the peel, and then pronounced it yummy.

    He used to eat olives, but no more.  He does still eat refried beans.  Love them so much he'll eat them by t
