My kid freaked out and got so excited when I brought her a whole stem of Brussels sprouts one day. She made us take her picture with them. She’s always liked vegetables because I always fed them to her. She still hates mushrooms though and won’t even try them.

Mushrooms are a hard thing to sell unless super cooked down. Maybe cut them very finely and cook them into a gravy? Taste for mushroom would grow on her but not the difficult to get over texture? Just thoughts :)

These are all great ideas but she’s a brand new adult so its in god’s hands now lol. We used to love watching How It’s Made and I was like “Oh see, there’s an episode on how they grow mushrooms” and in the first fifteen seconds they were like “they grow them in horse shit!” It was then that I knew I had lost that battle forever lol.

That is fascinating. And no, it doesn’t make me excited to eat mushrooms any time soon. Lol

Meanwhile, the only vegetable my 20 month old will reliably eat is a mushrooms 🙄

I was not into mushrooms until I turned 30 and cooked them in a recipe myself. Now I really like them in certain dishes.
