D’you what’s absolutely hilarious? I have two (Irish) children who will eat pasta or noodles anywhere, but will not eat potatoes. Not even french fries.
We’re just coming out of the bland-carbs-only diet with my older son. At 13. It’s been a long plain-chicken-and-pasta-only filled road.

What’s funny is that Chet was happily eating some Moroccan fruits and salads and then the waiter OFFERED him french fries. Of course, no other food would do and he wouldn’t touch a delicious chicken stew.

Maybe there’s hope – as long as french fries aren’t an option. =)

If I had a nickel for every French fry my children had eaten while on the road…well, let’s just say I wouldn’t need any gainful employment.

To me the most embarrassing place my child ate a French fry (and a McDonald’s one at that) was in Florence.

On a positive note, my oldest child’s favorite food is now sushi. Seeing Chet eat that plate of food gives me hope for him too.

I love this for my little guys it’s chicken nuggets…hard to talk them into anything else when they’re on the road!

Wow, I’m impressed he’s coming near that. My son would run screaming and call me the anticrist:)

Reminds me of my trip to Italy where all I ate was gelato for about 3 weeks straight… ahhh….

Those potatoes look delicious. I’d get rid of the green stuff too. :-)

I have a couple of fry fiends too. At least it’s a vegetable – and can any “french” food really be that bad?

I must have the only child in the world who doesn’t like potatoes. Mine would not have touched those (especially with the green stuff) with a ten foot pole. Only those officially vetted through the golden arches will do, so good job on getting him to try this new dish!

A true fried potato fan. His face says it all.
