[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know adults who grew up in with this food philosophy. They still eat chicken nuggets and order caterpillar rolls at sushi restaurants. Do what you like, OP, but many kids appreciate strong flavors and relish them. Tonight, my 8 and 11 year ate a chicken and tofu curry - sort of thai/Cambodian style, and papaya salad. We are Korean and I love spicy food, but my kids are next level when it comes to their love of spice. They’re normal kids who like trying new foods - most of the time they try something at a restaurant, love it, and then I make my own version at home. It’s fun for me too- I get to try my hand at Indian, middle eastern, Thai, Indonesian, Peruvian. Bland food is boring![/quote]

You were feeding your toddlers restaurant food and spicy food regularly? You sound terrible[/quote]

My kids are 8 and 11, not toddlers. But yes, we have been taking our kids to restaurants since they were infants. If you don’t often take your kids to restaurants, I would highly recommend it. If you have a picky eater, you might be surprised how more willing they are to try a food in a restaurant setting. We took my 8 year old’s friend out to sushi, and he tried and enjoyed several types of nigiri. His mom could not believe that he tried it since he is a notorious picky eater who never eats fish.

Can you believe that kids in Korea start eating kimchi, the national dish, before the age of one? We didn’t introduce it until my kids were toddlers, but it’s common in Korea for parents to “wash” the kimchi in cold water to make it more mild. I’m sure you don’t mean to say that my culture is terrible! [/quote]

NP My 4 year old puts Frank's red hot or Chipotle Tabasco sauce on most things. Not a lot, but yeah. He loves it. DH and I both do similar (We're white). I'm not sure how that's terrible. My other kids aren't fans of spicy things, but now do like mild sauce.[/quote]
