when your lebanese mum is a great cook of lebanese cuisine, it makes it really really easy to eat everything she puts down on the table. ive never not liked anything she made. besides that, when i was growing up, i was so active that it didnt really matter what she made, because i was always craving for food.
the only thing i do not eat is beetroot because i think the taste is so strong and unnatural that it shouldnt taste that way. i had beetroot in a hamburger as a kid, and it was the last time i had it. it took away from the taste of everything else in the burger and all i could taste was beetroot...
if you want to introduce unpopular foods to kids, introduce them to a lebanese family
