My SO doesn't like tinned anchovies, Belgian endives and Brussel
sprouts (but then neither do I). Nor broccoli and oysters. He isn't a
big fan of egg dishes, but will eat them without fuss.
My oldest son (11) doesn't like foie gras (more for us!), oysters,
olives, asparagus and green salad.
My youngest son (7.5) doesn't like foie gras terrine (but loves hot
sauteed foie gras), oysters, bananas and chile.
That's it. I can't complain. it's a very specific list of not very
common stuff (except for the green salad, which *is* a hindrance - I
replace it with tomatoes or fennel or whatever for him, but it's not
always easy), and they will eat whatever I put on the table otherwise.
Usually, when I'm preparing supper, they will ask "what are you
cooking?" and the reaction to my answer is almost always "Yum!"
