Dinner around the world (lemmy.world)

Can I just say, I’m really happy how successfully my kids appreciate a huge variety of foods, and I’ll pat myself on the back for part of it.

We had a bit of a rough start with one kid allergic to everything and the other just not eating. Now they’re teenagers and not only know how to eat healthily, but enjoy a huge variety from many cuisines (and are almost at my level for hot sauce)

Today one kid was home and he thoroughly enjoyed:

breakfast: cilbir
lunch: pupusas with avocado mash (and when I offered my hot sauce selection, he picked ghost pepper sauce!!!!)
dinner: tuna steak and halloumi over salad in a sesame dressing with nori

At my house: dinner around the world!

Edit: or maybe I need to rephrase …. As Americans with no other cultural heritage and whose families eat “American” food, my kid in one day had food inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, Central American, and Asian. Polished his plate and asked for more!

I had to look up three of those items. Looks like I need to up my game. Congrats on getting them to like ghost pepper sauce. That'll come in handy in high school and college.

Congratulations! This is what I aspire with my daughter. She's 4 now and eats mostly raw veggies. It's hard to get het to eat warm food at all. But we're making slow progress. We live in a country with access to lots of cousines so I hope she'll be as open minded to different foods as I am now
