[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former very picky eater here myself, and one of my kids also was very picky until late teens. My parents forced me to eat a little of everything, and I in turn did not force my kid to eat anything - neither approach worked better than the other :-). We both expanded our palates naturally somewhat in high school and even more so in college and looking back I think “peer pressure” (not wanting to stand out or get left out) was the biggest reason, although some was probably palate maturity, too. [/quote] +1 This is me. Around middle school, I became embarrassed that I was the only person who scraped the onions off her hamburgers, didn't eat tomatoes or any lettuce, or anything green other than pickles. I doused a salad with Italian dressing one day and found that it wasn't disgusting. 30 years later, I will eat anything that is delicious, which is almost anything well-made. [/quote]
