Our kids aren’t really fussy eaters. We try to give them a taste of everything. and persist but after a fair few goes we do finally give in. They don’t do too badly. fruit is a bit tricky, but the real issue is mushrooms.
Number 1 used to love them. from an early age she couldn’t get enough of them.
Gran, who loves to pretend that she is giving them healthy food latches on to the latest fruit or veg they show an interest in and plies it down their throats. which is then followed up by loads of “treats”, ‘cos they did so well.
This time it was mushrooms.
one lunch she had made a plate full of mushrooms, thinly sliced and lightly sautéed.
Gran was very proud, number 1 was wolfing them down. mouthfuls of them. it didn’t look like they were being chewed a lot.
there must have been an overload some where between number 1’s mouth and stomach.
Before we knew it a projectile mass of semi-digested but intact mushrooms returned into the plate. there were also some extra bits. but pretty much it was the previous contents that had come back. that just smelt a bit bad.
number 1 has never eaten mushrooms since. and we haven’t really pushed it.
