At dinner time at home, he actually starts WITH his veggies (asparagus, broccoli, etc.) and moves from there. I have been quite pleased as he doesn't even know "ew, this looks gross.. I can't eat that". However I didn't quite expect this from my kid.
Joey's food choices crack me up. Let's just say he prefers the more sophisticated choice. No joke, he even seems offended when he is handed a kid's menu. He just gives you and the choices this snobby disappointed look. I still try though because I don't like that...
He has been eating crab, sushi, calamari and more since he was 3. Escargot, sashimi and caviar since he was 4- perhaps even younger.
The other day at an Italian restaurant he wanted to leave once he heard the kid's choices, but when he heard the specials from the waiter, he insisted on going with the steamers. The waiter didn't think we were seriously ordering that at first. haha... little does he know the first thing Joey asks for in a French restaurant is escargot.. and eats them like candy! When he brought them out, he said that the chef was like, "this is for a KID?" It was a huge bowl... Joe didn't take one and in no time at all, they were all eaten properly with the fork-- he even dipped bread in the sauce afterwards... The staff were all watching.
Here's a pic of him at Genkei Sushi 2 days ago eating fish eggs, plain... and plain octopus legs on rice... NO flavor, nothing. I had to take a picture with my phone... he makes me laugh.
