I've got a picky eater on my hands as well. I often chop up veggies into tiny pieces and blend them into things so he won't know. <BR/><BR/>Your turkey looks gorgeous!

Today, I eat widely and with gusto. <BR/><BR/>Like ncfoodie and some of her commenters, I am also careful to name things so that my kids (3 and 5) will accept them on their plate. I prefer to call it "marketing" rather than "lying." Then, when they realize they actually DON'T like it, I know it's not prejudice, but their own personal tastes talking. I can accept that.Mary Louisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08974198919020077796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192001495199832294.post-87940226195577889372008-12-01T17:22:00.000-08:002008-12-01T17:22:00.000-08:00This makes me laugh.

I might call your cake "Thanksgiving cake" or your potatoes "Thanksgiving potatoes" then my 3 year old thinks it's alright. If I call were to call these mashed potatoes (without even mentioning the parsnips) it would be an automatic, "I don't like mashed potatoes"Joie de vivrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04090182072040742810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192001495199832294.post-12872211667128439722008-12-01T11:35:00.000-08:002008-12-01T11:35:00.000-08:00Next time try mashing celeriac in those potatoes! ...Next time try mashing celeriac in those potatoes!
