I'm glad he's got a steel gut! <br /><br />I'm more glad that he inspires his siblings to try new things -- you know, rivalry CAN work for good!!! I'm off the hook.

I remember trying food that I did not like and then required to "clean my plate". To this day there are still some normal foods that I can't even stand the smell of so no, I won't be trying any of Andrew Zimmerman's suggestions anytime soon.

I've learned to try foods by taking small bites. My husband is the adventurous eater. I wouldn't eat balut if you paid me. My kids ate a lot of yakitori in Tokyo and they surprisingly liked it including some organs. I've done the whole pretend it's good for the kids sake too and secretly wiping my mouth to spit parts of it out. Shhh..don't tell my kids. You're a great mom Michele. Awesome job putting on the brave face.

I don't eat meat but I eat fish. I don't like fried, package and processed food. I pretty much stick to the same rule whee on the road. Keith eat the same when we're home but is much more adventurous when we travel. He ate balut and lechon in the Philippines, kangaroo and crocodile in Australia, etc, etc. Marisol@TravelingSolemateshttp://www.travelingsolemates.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054224870283073737.post-83347894470620528862013-05-15T20:42:58.840-05:002013-05-15T20:42:58.840-05:00Hehe I understand what you mean.
