>the rest of you may have to deal with...

My wife's 35-year-old brother is digusting. He still doesn't eat ANY
vegetables, has to special-order everything (no onions, no pickles, no
sausage, no this, no that).

On Thanksgiving we made a delicious sage stuffing with apples and
sausage. His mommy brought along a pot of Stove Top Stuffing so that
her honey would have something he likes.

GAG!

My wife and I love to cook, we eat a large variety of things, and
expose our kids (7 and 8) to those things. Yet they remain fussy
eaters....to the point that more often than not, they go to bed hungry
because they simply refuse to eat what we make.

We finally got sick of either making 2 meals or making "kid" food.
Now we make good food that we consider normal fare, and if they don't
like it, too bad.

When I was a kid my mom NEVER made us something else like chicken
nuggets or fish sticks just because we "didn't like" what she made.

Side note: Our friends have the opposite problem. They raised their
kids to eat everything very early on, and now every time they go out
the kids want lobster and steamed mussels. :-)
