We are pretty lucky in my family. My wife has a thing about beets and is
not to crazy about lima beans, but will eat just about anything. My son is
pretty adventurous. The only one in the family who is a PITA is my older
brother's oldest son. It's bad enough that he has so many dislikes, but he
pouts about the lack of options. He was here for Christmas dinner two
years ago. We had Carrot Pudding with caramel sauce, mince meat tarts,
butter tarts, shortbread, Nanaimo bars, Black Forest squares, brownies and
a few other types of cookies and he started with the there's nothing good
for dessert. I think he was expecting me to go out and root through the
freezer and cupboards for him..... tough luck kid :-)
