Hahaha, pretty tame compared to all this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-exotic-thing-your-lo-has-eaten#post-829205 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:01:24 +0000 Thenetexan 829205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mussels at 17 months. Prior to that it was Brussel sprouts. Neither are necessarily exotic, but I wouldnt eat Brussel sprouts until I was 30 and I still won't eat mussels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-exotic-thing-your-lo-has-eaten#post-829103 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 09:37:45 +0000 plantains 829103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: Yup, I just couldn't imagine always having to cook something different for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-exotic-thing-your-lo-has-eaten#post-829101 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 09:37:16 +0000 plantains 829101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I started it at 10 months. I also started slow by giving her bits from my plate as opposed to a full fledged meal to let her get used to the flavour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-exotic-thing-your-lo-has-eaten#post-829087 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 09:33:52 +0000 regberadaisy 829087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: what age did you start spicy food? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-exotic-thing-your-lo-has-eaten#post-829085 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 09:33:47 +0000 prettylizy 829085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, she's had Thai, Vietnamese, Indian and Lebanese food and loved it all. Not super exotic, but for a bunch of WASPs it's right out there! lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-exotic-thing-your-lo-has-eaten#post-829083 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 09:33:26 +0000 betsyboop 829083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: Good plan! We also eat a lot of spicy foods and making separate food for her on those days feels like a lot of work. I think I'm going to start introducing some spice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-exotic-thing-your-lo-has-eaten#post-829076 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 09:31:18 +0000 plantains 829076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: yup, she was fine with it! I eat a ton of spicy food so I'm sure she is used to getting it through my BM, but I really wanted to be sure she was eating spicy food as soon as possible so she doesn't refuse it down the line. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-exotic-thing-your-lo-has-eaten#post-828618 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 07:12:46 +0000 wheres_c 828618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's only 6 months so pretty tame so far....parsnips? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-exotic-thing-your-lo-has-eaten#post-828536 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 06:08:16 +0000 mamimami 828536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sashimi. He loves fish in all forms. He has also had a lot of spicy foods. Well on his way to killing all his taste buds just like dad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-exotic-thing-your-lo-has-eaten#post-828506 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 04:53:48 +0000 rachiecakes 828506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J is crazy about Indian food.

I reserved a portion I didn't season and she gobbled it up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-exotic-thing-your-lo-has-eaten#post-828433 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 00:17:47 +0000 lamariniere 828433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just spent almost a month in Asia and my son was actually really brave and sampled a lot of things that I wouldn't touch (but I was battling morning sickness during the trip, so I wasn't eating much). He ate ants in an ant patty, some strange an interesting sea creatures and lots of tropical fruit...lychees, rambutan, dragon fruit, passion fruit and mangosteen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-exotic-thing-your-lo-has-eaten#post-828413 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 23:38:28 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 828413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to say soondae too! She loved it. The 2nd next exotic thing I guess would be sushi... I don't think that's too exotic, but pretty good for a 2 year old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-exotic-thing-your-lo-has-eaten#post-828407 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 23:30:30 +0000 Mrs. Bee 828407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie and olive have had blood sausage. Other than that sushi? Cooked cod roe? Nothing too crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-exotic-thing-your-lo-has-eaten#post-828358 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 22:38:30 +0000 betsyboop 828358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: I think the key with soondae is getting them to eat it before they realize what it really is lol I ate it throughout my childhood, blissfully ignorant, and by the time I discovered what it really was, it was too late, I already loved it! </p> <p>@plantains: Wow, was she okay with the spice? I've been wanting to give LO spicy foods but I've been too scared! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-exotic-thing-your-lo-has-eaten#post-828303 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 21:59:00 +0000 Lindsay05 828303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sardines.....ackkk!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-exotic-thing-your-lo-has-eaten#post-828290 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 21:52:25 +0000 Freckles 828290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, even i won't eat soondae! </p> <p>I think the most exciting thing was a curried coconut soup with noodles that i made. She had that at around 11 months (it wasn't hot-spicy) and loved it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-exotic-thing-your-lo-has-eaten#post-828260 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 21:36:28 +0000 plantains 828260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Erm sriacha? She is only 11 months old so it has been pretty tame so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-exotic-thing-your-lo-has-eaten#post-828253 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 21:33:42 +0000 betsyboop 828253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think for my LO it is jellyfish and korean blood sausage soup (both eaten while traveling overseas). And she gobbled them up! </p>
