I didn’t want to hijack the tomato-jam thread so i started my own- but liss comment made me think of something that bugs me when i read websites/forums.
liss;248217 wrote:Yeah, somehow “green tomato jam” doesn’t really sound all that appetizing to my family. Years ago when my grandmother gave me the recipe she always called it Almost raspberry jam. One of my cousins used to eat it out of the jar – until she found out it was made out of tomatoes.*shakes head*
i’m am so not a fan of letting kids get away with picky/whiny eating habits. i have parents tell me all the time, “my kids won’t eat blah, blah, blah”- i don’t get that at all! your kids will eat what they’re given- as kids have done for centuries!
why do people cater to their kids and let them get away with this type of behavior issue?? when i was a kid, you ate what was on your plate or you went hungry, period.

When we were growing up I guess we were lucky, we all liked the same kinds of foods. Me ansd my youngest brother would eat veggies, but my mom and other brother did not like them (except corn), so my mom would only make corn as a veggie (Green Bean Casserole on the holidays). I did not have Broc or Cauli until I was 19 years old (which I eat 2-3 times a week now).
Now, Mike and I also have the same tastes, so there are no issues there.

I guess I’m kinda on the fence on this one. I have cooked separate things for family members that wouldn’t eat some certain something…AND I also have done and still usually do what Vampixen posted.
Actually, when I was growing up, you either ate what was there or you did without. ((I was raised by old school Grandparents))

I hear a lot of parents who will make two or three different plates for different family members for dinner and all that is, is work. Kids will eat it what they are gave, of course when mine were younger I would make sure that at least twice a week the meal was something that I knew they would like. Today they don’t hesitate to at least try it.
Some things are not as appealing as a triple layer chocolate cake which I would definitely eat everyday if it is was provided. 🙂

My 2 year old is a meat and potato guy already. I always put veggies on their plates regardless if they want them.
I have a friend who lets her 5 year old eat cereal if he doesn’t want his food. I was raised to eat what was served and if I didn’t it would be there later or even the next day.
I can’t say that they are picky.It’s more stubbornness. My 2 year old refused to eat salisbury steak a favorite. He took little nibbles and mumbled “I like this”
