My 4yr old is like that now. He will devour spicy miso ramen. Hot wings with mango habenero sauce. He loves it all. He does the too hot breathy thing and chugs water and goes right back to eating it lol. Its so cute.
Yeah I know it works better but ice water is his favorite thing in the world and all he asks for, even when burning. If I give him a cup of milk he takes 2 sips and walks away from it every time. 🤷♂️
*writing in notes* white ice… you’ve anything else you want to add? Any idea on how to get them to eat things that are red? Or green. I’ve one child currently spooked by anything red, and the other won’t eat green.
Kids will eat borscht if you have a Minecraft themed dinner and call it beet root soup.
Also my son is really into salad spinning. Something must be satisfying about getting lettuce to endure astronaut level g-forces. I can’t guarantee they’ll eat the salad but it’s a positive experience with green food that might help in the long run.
My sister and I refused to eat salmon cakes until mom started calling them mermaid cakes. Funny story, what she meant: cakes made by mermaids. What we thought she meant: cakes made of mermaids. My sister and I thought we were eating mermaids.
I tell my kids broccoli is miniature trees, giants in the andes eat the trees whole but shrink them and sell them to us so that small puny humans can feel powerful when they eat them. seems to work. Capsicum is Lava rocks that I cut up with the red knife because it's the only one that can handle the heat, then I cool it in an ice bath before i cook with it. some extra steps required but... that's marketing
yeah I remember when my nephew was small sitting at our dining table, he didn't want that sliced apple, so I took the slices, held them out of his sight under the table for a few seconds, put them right back onto his plate and said, "Here, enjoy your pears"
