My LO is 30 months and some of her eating quirks drive me nuts. She really dislikes dishes where ingredients are mixed together - fried rice, shepherd's pie, sometimes spaghetti with meat sauce if the meat isn't small enough.
Then she went through a phase where she would only eat frozen blueberries, but they had to be on a napkin. Not a bowl or plate, but a napkin.
She also only eats 4 fruits: strawberries, blueberries, bananas and grapes.
Anyone else?

C doesn't eat meat that hasn't been... transformed. So like, a steak or chicken cut into teeny tiny pieces won't get eaten, but she'll eat ground meat (meat sauce, meatloaf, burgers, chicken nuggets), lunch meat, etc.
She also doesn't eat any veggies other than potatoes, cucumbers, and roasted cauliflower. GAHHHHHHH.

If she sees condiments out, she HAS to have them (ketchup, ranch, bbq sauce in particular). However, you have to put a drop on EACH bite. No dipping nonsense for her! And you can't just squirt ketchup all over everything, it's like she forgets it's there and needs NEW ketchup. This is especially frustrating at family dinners and out with friends...

My daughter went through a pink stage as in only eating pink foods! I am so happy that is almost past us now.

I think the most frustrating part for me is that he will eat something one day, and then refuse it the next! He ate 3 helpings of salad during dinner one night. A couple days later I put it in his lunch and none of it was eaten.

19 months- no beans, no pasta, no bites of anything mom and dad are eating. Meat only in the form of chicken nuggets or pieces of a Wendy's cheeseburger. Basically she will eat pouches, yogurt, cheese, fruit and crackers/bread/cookies. Sometimes peanut butter if it's smeared on something appealing and she's in the right mood.

She only eats freeze dried peas or dry roasted edamame - not real peas or edamame. Or any other vegetable fore that matter. Maybe a small bite of a carrot. She doesn't eat much "real" food - as in what we're eating, but I figure that's our fault since we don't feed her with us.

She is probably one of the few Asian kids who does not like rice which I grew up eating everyday. She does eat congee (rice porridge) so I can work with that. She also does not like bread but can eat pasta everyday. I hope it's just a phase.

She pretty much wants to eat ONLY what mom and dad are eating. Even if it's exactly what's on her plate, she wants it from ours.
Also, she's in an anti vegetable phase. She'll only eat broccoli or cauliflower and if I try to "hide" tiny peices of veggies in her meal, she has an impressive talent for eating a mouthful of food and only swallowing what she likes, while somehow spitting out the veggies.
