I read a well written blog today at My Colombian Recipes titled "Healthy Foods for Finicky Little Eaters" www.mycolombianrecipes.com/reviews/heathy-foods-for-finicky-little-eaters
It contained good advice and a chance to win a $100 Visa card.
My wife and I discovered many years ago that you can get finicky little eaters to try new and unusual foods by making the experience fun. We enjoy eating food from around the world and wanted our children to enjoy the same, so when ever we created a meal from another country we created the atmosphere to go with it. For example, when serving Ethiopian food, we all dressed as Ethiopians, gave each other Ethiopian names, played Ethiopian music, and served the food and ate like Ethiopians. The experience was so fun that the children couldn't help but approach the food with an open mind. We did and still do the same with Mexican, Jamaican, Spanish, India and many other foods from other cultures.
Not only is this approach fun for the kids, the grownups will enjoy it as well.
