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. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truscifi Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Ds likes the standards - pizza, burgers, smoothies, etc. He has never met a fruit he doesn't like and is always finding new varieties at the produce market. Oh, and seafood. He loves it all, even squid and octopus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truscifi Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Avocado rollsSaag paneer Raw red bell pepper strips I forgot about Indian food! We all love it, and ds especially loves anything with paneer. We've even made homemade paneer as a cooking experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TN Mama Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 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.

TheReader Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 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.)

The Girls' Mom Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Things that my dc really like which are probably not typical answers: pesto! lentil soup scallops parsnips - cooked turnips - raw, small and fresh grapefruit bleu cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cactus flower Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I won't break it down for each child. None are picky eaters and all like the same things, though some have allergies to milk, mangos, or tomatoes. favorites: hummus homemade applesauce fish-any kind chicken, especially baked baked potatoes sweet potato fries deviled eggs black bean soup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerPoppy Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 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!

********* Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbecueMom Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Blueberries (and all other fruit, but especially blueberries, and apples) Spaghetti Salsa (Mexican food in general, spicier the better for DS3) Beans Salad Peas Cucumbers Fresh tomatoes (DS3 only) Crackers and cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
