[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are teens and would not eat a mushroom/vegetable casserole. Or any casserole.  I can't believe your friend served that and was mad that the kids didn't want to eat it. Of course the kids didn't want to eat it!  [/quote]
Then the issue is with your teens, not the friend who served it. It's not like that is a different "ethnic" food with "weird" spices.

My teens would eat some of that casserole because we taught them to eat a variety of foods from early on and that you eat what you are served.

Barring any SN and spicy food, kids should eat a bit of what they are served. I don't like certain foods, either, but I will certainly eat a bit of something at a dinner, and so will my kids.[/quote]

In that case, my kids would eat salad.  They would take a small bit and have a tiny bite to be polite but I honestly don't even know people who eat casseroles. It is a style of cooking that was in vogue in the 60s with a bunch of cream of mushroom soup cans of stuff.

I like casseroles but I would say that they actually are weird now.  Sort of like how tomato aspic was ubiquitous and now it is a novelty.  [/quote]
That dish is an unusual one to serve at a dinner party, but that's the thing, you never what kind of food is going to be available where you are so you teach your kids to eat what's available.

We travel to foreign countries, and many of restaurants in those countries don't have a kid menu or what Americans would consider "kid friendly" food. [/quote]
