What foods did you spit out as a child but grew up paying money to eat? (Me? Chicken liver and gizzard.) So you can attest to the fact that our taste for food (and men… but that is another blog altogether) change as we go through life. Some tastes are acquired while some require no effort. Ultimately, mom and dad, your offspring should not dictate what is served at the table.
Dietitians advice that as babies go through weaning and the toddler stage, parents should spam them with a variety of flavors. This will help them confirm more foods and more valuably, make everyone like meal times. What if they comment not now? Then you poke them! No seriously, you could link them to something else from the same food group of an equivalent nutritional value or re-introduce a rejected food at a later event, cooked differently or disguised as a McDonald’s meal.
