Zane is usually open to try new foods, as long as he's not irritable or too tired to try. He even likes his mom's meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Vanessa is a little more finicky, to the point she sometimes requires separate plates.
I didn't like seafood growing up. Not sure if I just never had an opportunity to try decent seafood or if I was freaked by consistency or the fact it was water life that often ate sludgy things like worms, chicken livers or leaches when caught.
Vanessa loves seafood like crab legs and lobster. She would eat it all the time if money allowed. We joke that she acquired her daddy's expensive taste in food. :-) They have figured out that they can order seafood á la
carte to share. Zane would eat crab cakes at an early age and he likes seafood chowder.
Surprisingly, though, Zane won't eat a corn dog, yet Vanessa loves ones made of 100% beef!
Zane and I dislike Jello but Vanessa loves it. Go figure.
