When I was a kid we had the 3-bite rule. The first bite is to acclimate your mouth, the second is to taste, and the third is to decide whether you like it or not. I was excused from eating anything as long as I took 3 bites.
Wow! Anyone else that lucky?!
I had to eat whatever was on my plate or suffer the consequences. :D (Luckily my folks are wonderful cooks).
Foods that I never liked as a kid are now amongst some of my favorites. Including coffee. I’ve gotten a huge appreciation for anything edible and I’m always keen to try new dishes. Probably brainwashed...
My parents (Dad, backed by Mom) had a three bites rule. Anything you didn't like that was on the plate, you had to eat three bites. Dad always suggested we eat those three bites, first, while hungry. We were never given the break-down, but Dad did promise that if we did that every time the disliked item was served, one day we would wake up craving it. Worked with broccoli, for me. I like it in any form; raw, cooked, but just not mushy. ;)
