:lol: I'm glad to know it isn't just my kid! As a preschooler, she always wanted to serve them during playdates. I was afraid some friend would burst her bubble and tell her they were healthy and gross. We kept them our little secret. ;)

Both girls like a wide variety of foods.

 

They love donuts, burgers & pizza, and have them in moderation.

 

Other favorites:

 

sushi, softshell crab, calamari, goat cheese, bleu cheese, cheese in general (for dd 10, the stinkier, the better), chicken salad, hot dogs (for dd 9 only), oatmeal, black bean burgers, salads, any fruit, fajitas, olives, pickles, oh, and greens.

DS 14: crab legs

 

DS 11: shrimp, boiled

 

DS 6: cauliflower and broccoli (well, not really. Really his is chicken nuggets and french fries. But cauliflower & broccoli ARE his favorite veggies, which I find strange. Cooked, not raw with dipping sauce. He hates dipping sauces.)

DD15 is a self-declared meat-atarian. She loves meat..all sorts. She also likes pasta and cheese. Veggies are NOT on her list. She also loves oranges (but I think it is because it is one of the few fruits she doesn't have an allergic reation to)

 

The twins have similar tastes and aren't picky at all.

 

Some their favorites:

 

Grilled tiliapia

Pizza

Baked Ziti

Beans

Chili

 

Veggies:

Swiss Chard

Broccoli

 

And Sarah will just about founder on asparagus :lol:

 

We all love sweets...we have a problem :glare:

Thanks!

 

My daughter was excited to read about the "different" foods that other kids like to eat. When she used to go to school, the other kids in the class would often make faces or say "yuck" to parts of dd's lunch--like granola, berries, and yogurt, or salad, or veggie sushi. It drove her crazy that you could only order cheese or pepperoni pizza for a school lunch--she would have chosen spinach and feta or hot peppers and mushroom if something like that had been available. She gets surprised looks from servers when she orders things with every possible topping, like all-dressed burgers, all the veggies on a sub, and so on.

 

Anyway, thanks for sharing!

You know, my kids are a weird mix.

 

They LOVE my homemade cooking, but when I buy them some processed junk, they act like it's the best thing they've ever tasted.

 

For example, Zee begs me to make him spaghetti. The boy can EAT him some homemade spaghetti.

 

But then, a few weeks ago, I bought some spaghettios for the first time in like a year. He acted like he had discovered a delicacy.

 

Weirdo. :tongue_smilie:
