My munchkins are like night and day. When Munchkin The Elder was young,
it was cheese pizza, plain meat with barbecue sauce, iceberg lettuce,
fresh strawberries, and that was about it. Wouldn't touch much else,
and the food items couldn't touch each other, and there couldn't be
sauce or gravy on anything, and there couldn't be "junk" in the food
(flakes of anything, chunks of anything, anything that disturbed the
homogeneity).

Whereas Munchkin The Younger and I used to share pickled beets, sushi,
asparagus, hummus wraps -- all the stuff I love, which of course made us
both very happy, because we could share all that yummy food while MTE
nibbled away on meat. MTE wouldn't even eat most ice cream because it
had "junk" in it. Just plain vanilla, thankyewvermuch.
