We ate Mexican food and she wanted to dip her chip. Next thing we know she's trying to drink the salsa. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feed-your-toddler-spicy-things#post-675440 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:33:52 +0000 mrs. wagon 675440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Funny thing is, when I was pregnant with LMW I wanted some spicy things! I mixed super spicy hot pepper paste (gochujang) into my bi bim bap! Maybe LMW will be a spice lover like Wagon Sr. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feed-your-toddler-spicy-things#post-675422 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:31:59 +0000 keiki_mama 675422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, LO likes sriracha. I never ate spicy foods much until I became pregnant. I went through sriracha like a fiend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feed-your-toddler-spicy-things#post-675411 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:30:48 +0000 mrs. wagon 675411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: ooh good tip. We have a Qdoba nearby too. We'll have to try that instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feed-your-toddler-spicy-things#post-675382 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:27:13 +0000 T-Mom 675382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: me too!! Ordered the kids chicken quesadilla 2x and they hated it! DS is better than DD, but really, it's too spicy to be called mild!! For that reason we eat qdoba for the kids, even though I don't really like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feed-your-toddler-spicy-things#post-675158 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:03:12 +0000 banana 675158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son eats kimchee. He loves it! He loves kimbap with kimchee strips in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feed-your-toddler-spicy-things#post-675115 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 18:59:42 +0000 chopsuey 675115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not intentionally. M will ask to try certain foods and we let her.<br /> I ate a ton of super spicy foods while pregnant and while nursing. She doesn't love it, but she doesn't hate spicy either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feed-your-toddler-spicy-things#post-675106 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 18:58:44 +0000 mrs. wagon 675106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For some reason I just had to learn the lesson for the THIRD time that even if you order everything mild, Chipotle is RIDICULOUSLY spicy. Even Wagon Sr. who LOVES spice (the hotter the better, it's not really spicy unless he's crying and sweating) tasted it and got angry that they expect kids to eat food that spicy. This is the third time I've sworn off of Chipotle... why don't I ever learn my lesson??</p> <p>I'm eating a McDonald's cheeseburger now :D</p> <p>He did say "we have to expose him to spicy things at some point" but I just don't believe in making a kid (who is already picky about food!) eat food that hurts him. He literally started squeaking and scratching the rice off of his tongue. </p> <p>I'm all for feeding a kid spicy things if they like it, but as a person who can't take spice, I don't think I will force my kids to get used to spice. My parents tried for 25 years and never succeeded! </p>
