What Kids Like

[MtnCreek]

I've got one that's decided he doesn't like scollops. He's not touched them in about a yr. I offered scollops with his meal and he declined and asked what scollops are made of...

Me: Scollops.
Him: But what are scollops.
Me: A crustation.
Him: What's that?
Me realizing I'm headed down a rabbit hole: They're the dumpster divers of the ocean.
Him: Hmmm. I'll try one.

They're good and you like them doesn't work.
They're like shrimp but a little chewier doesn't work.
Just eat it doesn't work.
But some crazy they eat crap peeks their interest? I'm confused by it and for some reason somewhat think it's a good thing.

You know how to tell rabbit turds from deer turds? Rabbit turds taste sweet like candy. ;-)

My critters eat everything for the most part. They have their favorites and their least favorites.

Breakfast and lunch is their deal as they are old enough to fend for themselves. If you want eggs, get up by 7 AM and get your order in when I am making my breakfast. I am working by 8 AM.

Daily dinner has a few parts so everyone can find sides that they like with whatever the main is that I make. No drama. You don't like it...you're own your own. Plenty of food. Have fun.

Kids always take the path of least resistance. Up at 7 AM to get eggs...eat what I make for lunch and dinner...be glad you have a live in cook..and be glad they have a say in the menu.

Our family is always busy as hell. Did I say No Drama??

Crustaceans are crabs, lobsters, shrimp and krill ect. Scallops are bivalve mollusks, a kind of clam. As a scuba diver I can tell you that many scallops are amazingly colorful. I only eat them when I can find dry ones. Its to hard to get a nice sear on the ones that are packed in water.

Well, to each their own but you have to start them young. The first baby food my son had was green beans and peas. Wife swears up and down that you cant start babies with sweet fruits.

I am blessed in many ways but my 14yo son will pretty much eat anything. Good thing too because no special "chicken nugget" dinners will be made here. What we eat, he eats. Dont get me wrong, we eat well and balanced, again I am blessed. He likes to try different foods and likes to cook. Cooking here is a family thing.

I dont fuck around with food. Too many go without and kids going to bed hungry fucks with me. IDC about the socioeconomical reasons, seeing hungry kids just fucks me up.

We didn't have many choices growing up, ate a lot of "shutupandeatit".

I was blessed to have grown up in south Louisiana, where basically everything is a potential menu item.
I was raised with one simple rule: you will try everything that's put in front of you and may or may not be told what it is you're eating until afterwards.
There was also ONE option for dinner for the family, so if it was (very rarely) something you just couldn't stand then you may possibly be granted the option of having a cold hot dog.

That remained the rule as I introduced friends to Cajun culture: don't ask what it is, just eat it.

Growing up the one thing I couldn't stand was canned veggies. I'll eat any vegetable fresh, and most I prefer raw, but a canned veg is still the worst version of itself to me.

Thank God my kids were only picky eaters for a very short time. Nowadays, wife and I might as well just fill up a trough for them to feed.

The rules of food in my house was. You will try everything. If you don't like it fine. You will not be forced to eat something that you don't like. Fruits and vegetables were always served and in the house along with the chips and snacks. The woman baked and decorated cakes for weddings, birthday and other events. She always had a practice cake around and the kids wouldn't eat it. They were usually given away because the kid's prefer the fruit and veggies. Holloween candy was thrown out a couple weeks later.
The kids are adults and are healthy eaters. They cook instead of the fast food garbage. So I guess we did alright by them.

He’s missing out. Scallops are guuuud, wrap dem bitches in bacon and sautée them in real butter. MmmmmmMMMMM! Fuck, now you got me hungry ?

I've got a 30-something y/o brother-in-law who's been living with us for over a year, and he's still a "chicken-fingers" kid that needs/has his own menu that My Lady/his sister prepares for him.

(You'll notice that I said "she" caters to him, right?)

I just tell them everything is chicken.

Cutting meat of a rib... chicken
Smoked salmon... chicken
Calamari... chicken
Tri tip... chicken
Tuna sandwich... chicken sandwich

As far as they know all we eat is chicken and bacon.
