Aside from the caffeine, which my child is too young for, this is basically my child's diet. Realizing that he somehow has the pallet of a midwesterner despite never living there and trying to process this.
It is common in every culture that kids prefer blander foods, so that is okay. It is evolutionary adaptation so that kids don't eat weird stuff at young age when their immune system is not fully developed. Just be sure to introduce your kid to different cuisines and cultures so they know that people with different taste and lifestyle exist. A person's taste bud don't stop developing till way way late, that is why generally only older people can fully develop a taste for different types of whiskeys (they all still taste like spicy firewater to me)
For sure. We have him try a few bites of everything we make around the house and usually have him try at least a bit of something he's never had before at a restaurant when we eat at one. And definitely praise him for being adventurous when he does it. But he's still an all American burger and fries kid haha
Like you say, I'm hoping it's something he'll eventually grow out of. It was easier when he was a toddler and would just eat whatever we put in front of him. I still have a great video of him just shoveling some sauerkraut into his mouth like it's breakfast cereal.
