“Foods” being the operative word.I love some things that some of my friends don’t consider edible…including raw fish, seaweed, and very rare or raw beef…but I’m OK with their not trying them, because there are some things other people eat that I won’t try.
Everybody should have the right not to taste what they consider disgusting…for me, that includes raw oysters, natto, and fried crickets, all of which have been pressed on me and I refused.
However…. I don’t know what Elliot is refusing…if it’s a vegetable, I might insist on his taking a small taste, just because he’s a kid, and vegetables aren’t inherently disgusting.
If he doesn’t like it after that, he doesn’t need to eat it…which was NOT the rule when I was growing up.If Dad liked it, you ate it…if he didn’t, you never saw it.That’s why I was 18 before I tried asparagus, artichokes or avocados… and I didn’t know broccoli or brussels sprouts existed. (Love ’em all now.)
Well, Tony is asking..
“Have you tried it?”
No… but I’m willing to try most foods.
