While I ate a lot of great food as a kid, I wasn't exposed to a lot of different cuisines as a kid. A few of the things I can think of that my kid has had that I didn't have until I was an adult are:
-Seaweed
-Salmon
-Godiva chocolate
-Sushi
-Fondue
-Goat cheese
What about you and your kid?

Oh god so many things. Peppers, good fish....goat cheese, feta....all kinds of stuff. We had a very "standard American diet" growing up (lots of Stouffers....and white bread with butter on the side!) and we eat so much more diverse food now and E is exposed to a LOT of cultural food. Indian, thai...i never had this growing up!

I think the only thing is Kraft macaroni and cheese. My mom tried to feed it to me once when we were on vacation when I was a toddler and I wouldn't eat it - and she always made mac and cheese from scratch, so I didn't try Kraft until I was on my own in college.

So many things! It amazes me that so many of his preferred foods are things I didn't eat until I was in high school/college. It's awesome!

@winniebee: you didn't eat chowder as a child? Didn't you grow up in the Northeast?

The one that stands out is avocado. I know my mom offered it, but all of us kids refused. Then I "discovered" it in college and it's a household staple. My LO eats it by the fistful too. My siblings still think it's disgusting though.

Oh so many things. My mom didn't really feed me with much variety growing up. Avocado, hummus, Thai and Asian food, curries, cauliflower, cabbage, etc.
