My two kids are also about 18 months apart, the eldest will eat about
anything and the youngest was always a little picky. Example: some kid
at school told him green peas were actually spider eggs and he still
won't eat them and he will soon be 45 yo. He would eat raccoon,
squirrel, and the occasional possum but now prefers prime beef.
