must admit ive been very lucky with my boy and food he will try anything once i tell him to chew and swallow it if he doesnt like it them at least he tried, but then i was very strict with dinner rules he was never allowed to leave the table till he had eaten all his food i think 5 hours was a record now he just eats the stuff hes not to keen on first and saves the best till last, luckily hes not a fan of processed food and he can make chicken kievs from scratch all on his own (bar the sliceing the breast in half) he gets his 3 plates out, 1 for freshly grated bread crumbs, one for the egg and one for the flour slaps a load of butter in a bowl crushes the garlic adds a few witches herbs as he calls em, (parsley in other words) butter in middle of breast roll in flour egg then bread crumbs, bungs em in the over for around 20 mins pending on size, not bad for a nine year old *just gotta work on the tidying room bit *
