I was about 12, went to a sleep over and they kept offering me licorice and I was to polite to say no. Think the parents could either tell I hated it and found it funny or thought I loved it because I accepted one.

Anyway, fast forward to 2am on their cream carpet and it all came back up.

I don't think I've seen them since.

We have a rule in our house with the kids. Eat everything on the plate or you don't get pudding. Not even a single pea. It is very rare they don't eat everything put in front of them.

My daughter has a friend where the mother cooks a separate meal for most of them as they all like different things and dislike so many. That would do my head in.

We lived with my grandmother when we were small. She hated airs and graces and didn't want us to grow up posh so the the food was the plainest [German] food she could think of. I only vaguely remember sauerkraut and frankfurters. If it was a special treat ie: birthdays, we were allowed tinned tangerines (or "baby oranges" as our English nannies used to call them). Was relieved (foodwise) when I got to England. You can't imagine how good minced beef in gravy tastes when you've been used to German food, let alone fish & chips.

This is like our house, wife is a veggie and I am not. Eldest won’t eat a lot of meats but youngest loves them so a lot of the time we have variants of three meals
