We have been having our son try things at least once. We've noticed
that the more he is around other kids the more resistant he is to even
try something, saying it is gross or yucky before he has even tasted it.

But we still do insist on just a bite. He can even spit it out if he
needs to. Then we leave it. Sometimes he will eat more, sometimes not.

We don't want a picky eater so we do try to offer him different things
and take him to different places. He seems to be able to eat something
most anywhere we go.
