   I did and was quite dismayed when my sons didn't seem to be following
suit. So we instituted a "three bites" rule (based on the idea that if
you're eating something you don't want to try, you'll bolt the first one or
two without really tasting it)... this made for some theatre and laughter as
a parental unit held up one hand and indicated with fingers one, two, opps -
only a half, bites. Bargaining usually ensued - enough to get the last bite
actually *tasted*.
   Both boys now love all of the above foods. But not eggplant. (Neither
does their mother love that slimy stuff!)
