[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids often waste most of the food on their plate. I don't think PPs are assholes for not wanting to potentially throw away $20, 30, 50 dollars worth of food just so junior can have a taste. We don't all have a limitless budget on DCUM.  I will let a child try anything from my plate, but no, I am not going to prepare a lobster for a child who I know will eat ONE BITE and be done, just for the sake of developing his palate. [/quote]

I agree with this, and I'm one of the PPs who lets her kid eat anything.  I certainly don't make him a whole separate portion if he's going to eat one bite - that's silly, wasteful, expensive and irritating.  But if it's something I know he likes (steak, lobster, fancy ice cream, veal, whatever) he gets his own portion.

And calling someone an asshole for this is pretty ridiculous.  Have you ever ordered stone crabs (I assume from Joe's, in Miami)?  They are INSANELY expensive.  A LOT more expensive than buying an extra lobster or filet, and it's not like you get a large volume.  A motivated 7 yo could polict off $150 of stone crabs, no problem.  That seems a little excessive.  [/quote]
