I am with Snowy on the make them try it multiple times. We have a standing rule that our daughter must take at least a bite of something, chew it and swallow it before she can take a pass. There are a number of things that she has looked at and said "eewww" only to have it hit her palate and enjoy it. Other times, it has just be a factor of a different sort of preparation -- apparently green beans in garlic and lemon are the best while plain steamed green beans are the suck.
Fortunately, my son has an adventurous appetite. A few weeks ago while we were in Hong Kong he went toe to toe with me eating whatever we could find (naturally we ditched the ladies before heading out).
