Not keen on cucumber or gherkins but like the others there. Bell pepper is my favQuote:

I like all of those. The only vegetable I'm not very keen on, but can still eat, is aubergine. My lack of fussiness comes from being brought up in a house where I was introduced to lots of different foods at a very age, and *made* to eat what was put on my plate!;)
There are too many faddy eaters these days, because parents bring their kids up that way [by pandering too much to their nonsense]!

cheeky sod:ner: gherkins look like tolies, and you never know where a cucumber has been;)Quote:

I used to be a very faddy eater as a child but 'grew out of it'.
Tee-hee... Not heard of 'tollies' for a while - well yours must be a bloody funny colour!:eyebrows:Quote:

The fact is, kids mimic the behaviour of their parents from a very early age, so they're not BORN hating broccoli, or whatever, but if YOU don't like it, chances are they won't either - and so the spiral continues...
That's why you have to introduce them to fresh vegetables (cooked properly), as soon as possible.
My mum used to mash up carrots, cauliflower, peas, etc, into a puree and gave me that as baby food (instead of the processed shit you get in jars), from before I even had teeth! And so, I got used to flavours of different vegetables and developed a taste for them, which is why I like them now.
Mashed potato with a little bit of cream and butter in it was my favourite!:)
The biggest problem these days, of course, is that hardly anyone cooks from scratch anymore, using fresh produce, and so kids are fed a diet of microwave chips, chicken nuggets and other processed muck, so it's no wonder they grow up hating anything that tastes REAL!:doh::rolleyes:
[Rant over];)

tatties and beans when i was young. still good:D
most kids get fussy about food now. too many fast foods they see on tv and their mates eat etc and they often just do it to rebel i guess. parents often start with the best of intentions, but reality is sometimes does not equate with those intentions. all you can do is persist with making it available.
eventually they will try other things. worst thing you can do is make a fuss over it.
Yes, I like ratatouille, but still find the rather 'sloppy'/spongy texture of aubergines a little unpleasant. Artichokes are Del's favourite vegetable. You only eat the tips though, with Hollandaise sauce - gorgeous!:)Quote:

I'm surprised you were a faddy eater, given your parents penchant for fine dining, and correct me if I'm wrong, your participation with them in that from a fairly early age?
Marco.
I agree, but despite that, if you've been brought up from an early age to like fresh veg (in the way I've described), then you'll still enjoy the taste of it, regardless or not of going through a rebellious phase of eating fast food.Quote:

Simples.... And generations now, in the UK, have grown up with that type of food culture. Until folks these days alter their lifestyles or MAKE time for the things that really matter in life, such as eating healthily, things will never change.
