Why move to America when I already live in the home of such culinary delights as haggis, stovies, tablet and the famed deep fried mars bar (never seen one, mind, but I'm told they do exist)?<br /><br />Mum of All Trades - thanks! Made me smile too when I thought of it, hence the post!<br /><br />Angels and Urchins - interesting. Which one is it? I'm sort of hoping that my fourth will be more compliant, but maybe that's overly optimistic. The thing is though, that I can take your upbringing point one further - my fussiest is definitely S, my most omnivorous is A. Not only have they had exactly the same upbringing, they're identical twins. Go figure...<br /><br />Pants - you have though inspired me to have a bit of Elvis every now and then with our supper... (when I'm not shouting "just stop talking and eat up!" that is)<br /><br />Expat Mum - when? Just tell me when?! (and if the answer is "in their teens" I'm not listening. La la la.<br /><br />Emily - I did think about putting a totally separate circle in the bottom corner somewhere for M, but I was too exhausted by the technological effort to get that far. Poor M though seriously isn't going to have a choice about what he eats... (or anything else, I fear!)Harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975259590293860488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432382804917497650.post-31599963631086968562011-10-08T21:14:32.806+01:002011-10-08T21:14:32.806+01:00Jocelyn - come home and I promise to cook you as m...Jocelyn - come home and I promise to cook you as many fish fingers as you like xxx<br /><br />Supergran - it was meant as a joke, and more at the frustration at having to cook peas for L and broccoli for A and beans for S, when what I'd like to do is have to cook only one meal at a time. But there is a serious point there, isn't there? Why do we stress about it so much? Maybe one for another longer post...<br /><br />Toddling into madness - I'm told that my cousin (now in her 40s with two children, a lovely husband and a steady job) existed for over a year on TUC biscuits and bathwater. Strawberry yoghurt is therefore a full and balanced diet...<br /><br />John C - together or separately?<br /><br />Fiona - Bratwurst??? yuk yuk yuk.

And none of them eat fishfingers which is annoying because it's one of the easiest foods to cook.

Not sure what I did to him to put him off basic foodstuffs, but it's interesting to see what I think has been the same culinary upbringing has resulted in such differing experiences.
