There should be - to avoid children being forced to 'sob' eat the dreaded sprout!!! |

I quite like them, I just fear for the grandchildren, and my daughter posting her 'delicacies' on Facebook, starting the post with 'Mwha, Mwha ha ha'. |

My daughter loves them, her hubby doesn't. SIL put his sprouts on daughter's plate and grandson promptly did the same (although he had eaten them before) the baby eats them raw! I very nearly force fed SIL with the tasty little green morsels...lolol |

Lol Maggie the eternal problem of Christmas. Our daughter had a rule which was strictly adhered to Everyone must eat a tiny bit of the veg they don't like. They did, even daughter herself who hates sweetcorn. My OH doesn't like sprouts, unless soninlaw does them his way, in cream with chopped bacon and seasoned well with pepper. Even my OH likes them then. And the boys will also eat them like that. Granddaughter (son's family) ate one sprout on Christmas day while screwing up her face but laughing at the same time, her Dad loves them hot and cold. :-D |

No food is worth having a confrontation over it - if you make an issue of it it makes even more difficult for a child to give in - sprouts, eggs, anything - are not essential , there are usually reasonable alternatives for all desirable foods - chop things up small and let them help themselves, not plonk it on their plate |
