They had carrot curry soup at school recently which would have been new flavors for him, but I wasn't surprised to see in his report that he ate it all.</p> <p>My 6yo DS1 eats almost nothing. I think the last thing he ate that surprised me was that he willingly tried a bite of a french fry a few months ago, but said he didn't like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-whats-the-latest-surprising-food-your-kid-ate#post-2920042 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 08:53:59 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2920042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 7 year old is thankfully not picky, but she has strong feelings about spicy food. We ordered Indian food from a new place yesterday, and got her her typical order, chicken tikka, and my husband ordered it mild as he always does. Well, this place's definition of mild was spicy even for me, and I can handle spicy pretty well. I decided to give it to her anyway and not say anything. Lo and behold, she ate it all and asked for more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-whats-the-latest-surprising-food-your-kid-ate#post-2920039 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 07:20:19 +0000 caitcat 2920039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My three year old eats almost anything...last night, she ate sauteed spinach and asked for seconds. </p> <p>Meanwhile, my five year old eats about ten foods (total) and is going through a phase where she only wants mac and cheese as leftovers and just lukewarm so that it isn't "all melty and saucy." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-whats-the-latest-surprising-food-your-kid-ate#post-2920038 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 07:07:47 +0000 Mommy Finger 2920038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 is usually a pretty awesome eater but we were even surprised when he loved the raw ahi tuna from an app that DH and I ordered. He also loves the liverwurst sausage on crackers that DH eats that come on, no. Yet the kid doesn't like tomato sauce on his spaghetti. Can't win them all.</p> <p>DS2, on the other hand, told me that taste and texture of a cinnamon muffin yesterday was unnecessary. Honestly, I was just happy he tried it. He's the one that my parents regularly tell me is payback. I deserve it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-whats-the-latest-surprising-food-your-kid-ate#post-2920037 Mon, 26 Oct 2020 22:01:12 +0000 winter_wonder 2920037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD isn't super adventurous with her eating, but the girl loves havarti dill cheese!!</p> <p>@lady baltimore: Neither DD or DH eat soup, ugh. I want to make it all the time now that it's getting chilly out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-whats-the-latest-surprising-food-your-kid-ate#post-2920036 Mon, 26 Oct 2020 21:23:27 +0000 ALV91711 2920036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2 year old loves olives. Yesterday he asked for and ate garlic stuffed green olives. He wanted more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-whats-the-latest-surprising-food-your-kid-ate#post-2920034 Mon, 26 Oct 2020 19:33:48 +0000 lady baltimore 2920034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Panera is not exactly haute cuisine, but my four-year-old did order soup &amp; salad last night instead of mac &amp; cheese! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-whats-the-latest-surprising-food-your-kid-ate#post-2920033 Mon, 26 Oct 2020 19:20:45 +0000 DillonLion 2920033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 15 month old ate bok choy tonight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-whats-the-latest-surprising-food-your-kid-ate#post-2920021 Mon, 26 Oct 2020 14:16:39 +0000 PinkElephant 2920021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My four year old requested salmon &amp; broccoli for her birthday dinner (rather than pizza, burgers, or other junkier options).</p> <p>Her six year old sister has recently been stealing my portion of asparagus at dinner! She's also a big fan of gyoza (so, similar to pot stickers) and xiao long bao/soup dumplings. </p> <p>But my eight year old wants to eat, like, nothing but "kid food". I think the most adventurous thing she eats willingly now is green salad with Italian dressing (and I'd better not try to sneak a tomato in there). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-whats-the-latest-surprising-food-your-kid-ate#post-2920020 Mon, 26 Oct 2020 14:13:34 +0000 Corduroy 2920020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 7 year old was begging for tofu recently. It's not something I buy regularly so I was surprised and asked her what made her think of tofu? After quite a discussion I figured out she meant steamed pork buns/char siu bao. I'm glad I figured that one out because she would not be pleased if I had presented her with a block of tofu. She was happy with the char siu bao.</p> <p>DS has been pretty adventurous lately mainly to show up DD. Last night he ate some of the Hungarian paprika chicken stew I made. Not that adventurous but it looked and smelled different than the dishes I usually make. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-whats-the-latest-surprising-food-your-kid-ate#post-2920016 Mon, 26 Oct 2020 12:58:54 +0000 KT326 2920016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids love brie and crackers. They will not eat cheddar and crackers, but give them some brie and they devour it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-whats-the-latest-surprising-food-your-kid-ate#post-2920014 Mon, 26 Oct 2020 12:47:07 +0000 LadyDi 2920014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my oldest, also potstickers! I was surprised that he really likes them and I keep a bag on hand all of the time now. My two year old ate an entire slice of pizza last night and I was thrilled. He’s super picky and only eats a handful of things so when we have pizza I can usually only get him to eat a bite or two. Last night was a whole slice with zero crying, whining, or yelling (from either of us). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-whats-the-latest-surprising-food-your-kid-ate#post-2920013 Mon, 26 Oct 2020 12:44:51 +0000 foodiebee 2920013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Potstickers sound so good! What brand did you buy?</p> <p>My 16mo DS is actually not a terribly picky eater—right now at least—but he doesn't eat meat (his choice). People are always surprised when he wants tofu, but he loves it! This is probably not terribly surprising or as fun as crickets, but it's all I could think of. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-whats-the-latest-surprising-food-your-kid-ate#post-2920012 Mon, 26 Oct 2020 12:41:36 +0000 jhd 2920012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@codeitall: that’s so exciting!!</p> <p>My oldest ate a plain hot dog on a bun this week and DH and I were celebrating!! That may seem silly, but he’s struggled with textures and combining foods.</p> <p>Our youngest (2) got to go with me to the grocery store quickly last week and all he wanted was red bell peppers, tomatoes, and avocados.</p> <p>ETA not particularly shocking choices but we are at least raising veggie lovers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-whats-the-latest-surprising-food-your-kid-ate#post-2920011 Mon, 26 Oct 2020 12:35:41 +0000 erinbaderin 2920011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not so recent, but last winter my 3 and 5 year olds tried dried crickets at an agricultural fair, and my then three-year-old went back for seconds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-whats-the-latest-surprising-food-your-kid-ate#post-2920009 Mon, 26 Oct 2020 12:23:19 +0000 codeitall 2920009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Because I need a little lighthearted conversation this Monday :)</p> <p>I indulged with my work promotion last week and tried out a subscription box of nurture life. My ultra picky texture-eater with a milk-allergy 5 year old ate a salmon patty on a pretzel bun (all of it!) and later he ate potstickers!</p> <p>So I bought a whole bag of potstickers and we ate it last night as a family meal with everyone eating the same thing! I wasn't a short-order cook! Hallelujah!</p> <p>What have your kids eaten recently that has surprised you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-other-forums-do-you-frequent/page/2#post-1547546 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 00:34:48 +0000 ScarletBegonia 1547546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made some great friends about 10 years ago on the jack Johnson forums (the musician) - still keep up with most of them even though the forums themselves no longer exist. Fun secret that I haven't really told any irl friends, but one time a guy on the JJ forums that I became close to flew to my town so we could meet up and we ended up hooking up and having a secret relationship. He turned out to be a mega asshole but I still look back fondly cause it's so unlike me.<br /> Nowadays, hello bee and the comment section on xojane are the only things I participate in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-other-forums-do-you-frequent#post-1547545 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 00:29:30 +0000 StbHisMrs 1547545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I belong to a forum way back from when I was pregnant with my son, that was 12 years ago. We've created a private group, and mostly talk via facebook now, those girls are seriously like Sisters :)<br /> Once in a great while I'll peruse a forum on appraisal or Bengals (if I have a question). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-other-forums-do-you-frequent#post-1547539 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 00:13:10 +0000 BSB 1547539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only HB for now.

I was also on Mugglenet obsessively in high school, but that got less fun once the last book came out and there was no more speculating to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-other-forums-do-you-frequent#post-1547446 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 22:20:50 +0000 Pepper 1547446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just HB.

Every once in a great while, when I can't sleep at night and HB is pretty quiet, I'll take a look at WB but never post. I used to be super active there before DD1 was born but now HB is the only site I post on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-other-forums-do-you-frequent#post-1547285 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 19:37:34 +0000 bpcmarj 1547285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just HB now.

There's one other forum I used to post on a lot, but I'm on something of a hiatus there because it's not too relevant to me at the moment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-other-forums-do-you-frequent#post-1547214 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 18:48:46 +0000 Katrocap 1547214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really only HB. I love the support and positivity here (as well as the site design). Before I discovered HB I looked on babycenter, but like @kimberlybee said, folks there are too mean-spirited! </p>
