I think for my LO it is jellyfish and korean blood sausage soup (both eaten while traveling overseas). And she gobbled them up!
-
Erm sriacha? She is only 11 months old so it has been pretty tame so far.
-
Oh man, even i won't eat soondae!
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!
-
Sardines.....ackkk!!
-
@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!
@plantains: Wow, was she okay with the spice? I've been wanting to give LO spicy foods but I've been too scared!
-
Charlie and olive have had blood sausage. Other than that sushi? Cooked cod roe? Nothing too crazy!
-
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!

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.
-
Calamari. I reserved a portion I didn't season and she gobbled it up!
-
J is crazy about Indian food. He loves spicy dishes, like his mama.
-
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.
-
He's only 6 months so pretty tame so far....parsnips?
-
@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.
-
@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!
-
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!
-
@plantains: what age did you start spicy food?
-
@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.
-
@betsyboop: Yup, I just couldn't imagine always having to cook something different for her.
-
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.
-
He's only 8 months, so I think like, a mango? Hahaha, pretty tame compared to all this!
