I love that you explained the pricing differences to him, and his declaration that his mouth "felt alive." How cool. It's good to hear stories of kids interested in foods other than mac and cheese and hot dogs. My daughter is 10 months old and will devour any tomato within 10 feet of her, loves grilled salmon, and chows down zucchini sauteed with garlic and onion. But I worry that she'll lose her intrepid tastebuds as she gets older. So thanks for the uplifting story! Great story!

I'm new to your blog, but I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed this post. What a wonderful way to interact with your kids and really teach them about and let them enjoy something that is so often thought of as an "adults-only" activity: being a foodie! Bravo! Hello!

She would gobble down chicken one day and spurn it the next, but would always inhale spinach pie. She is 20 now, very adventurous about food and an excellent cook!!! Pat on the back for us all!!!

My daughter is now 25 and is now mostly a vegetarian, she was brought up eating all kinds of different foods, when she went into grades school she didnt understand why everyone didnt like lental soup. It is still her favorite dish today. Laurie Oh you brought back memories.
