As the mother of a 4 year old girl and aunt to a 2 year old and 6 year old, you're obviously thinking of the 6 year old.  Put a subtelty in front of
the other two and you get anything from a "yuck" to a scream to something thrown across the room.  Serving the more innocuous things from feast mixed
with readily identified kid foods is the way to go.  Having done both, kids under 6, or even 15 in the really picky ones, won't touch an unfamiliar
food or a familiar food prepared other than the usual way.
