Opposite of our house. You don't have to clean your plate. You do need
to help us all have a pleasant dinner time. If you say "ick, I don't
like that" or similar you then need to eat it all for subjecting us to
your whining. If you say nothing, but ignore it and don't eat it you
will not be questioned nor forced to finish that which you do not like.
Rule applies to diners of all ages. Works well for us.
