I was lucky; I liked liver. However, after several humiliating episodes over lima beans (dog didn't like them under the table; napkins full of them thrown out the bedroom window; sitting at the table for hours gagging over them...) I never made our kids eat anything they didn't want to. They are now more adventurous eaters than I am. The hottest hot sauce David can find, and Snails... really, Josh?
