WarriorMama Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Raw onions. My daughter loves them and eats them like candy if I'm chopping some for dinner or whatever. She has since she was under two and I let her try one at her insistence (while telling her "You know you won't like this...", lol) Weirdo. And coffee. Thanks to my husband letting them taste his disgusting coffee (triple-triple... :ack2: ) my kids think coffee is the greatest thing since sliced bread, so every once in a while I make them 'coffee' which is mostly milk and a little sugar with a splash of coffee.

Marie in Oh Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Pringles, Fritos, Corn Dogs, Pizza Rolls. . . not on a regular basis, but they do make an appearance in our house, especially during soccer season. I don't know how people avoid hot dogs-- at cook outs during the summer, they are seriously hard to avoid, and only my older 3 will choose a hamburger over a hot dog. The younger 4 probably consume a hot dog a week during the summer because we have bbq's and bon fires all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The younger 4 probably consume a hot dog a week during the summer because we have bbq's and bon fires all season. Peyton threw up six years ago after having a hot dog for lunch. It grossed Luke out so much he hasn't had a hot dog since. Peyton, however, continues to happily eat them, and she would eat them weekly if we allowed it. As it is it's maybe once every two months. When I buy hot dogs - maybe once a year - I buy Hebrew National. I tell myself they must be better because they are Hebrew. Please don't tell me that I'm wrong.

Amy loves Bud Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Coke. know it's really bad. I do. But it's just associated with so many good memories from my own childhood. So I allow it. I will also buy white bread about once a year. Blech. What else...I've resorted to lunch meat from the deli now that I have to pack a lunch every day for DS. I have serious issues with lunch meat. But it is easy and Luke loves it. I try to make up for it otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
