Hyperborean Wanderer, while willing to eat chicken head soup, will not touch a bean or legume of any kind. He loves mexican food, but refuses to eat refried beans, chili is just a bowl of tomatoes, meat and seasoning, and stir fry is lacking in snap peas.
Until now.
Since he is gone, I have been exposing our kids to peas and beans of every kind, in the hopes of killing this trend. Today, Connor decided that he liked snap pea (pods) after I turned dinner into a science class. I showed him that inside were peas and explained about seeds and promptly lost his attention..... BUT he enjoyed popping the "beans" into his mouth and sucking up the shell. Normally, playing with food is considered rude, but since he was not only eating, but encouraging his sister to eat the "yummy pop beans", I let it slide.
So I suppose you will have to pick the peas out of your stir fry...the kids are eating them. (I win!) Although, strangely enough, our son doesn't eat any fruit except watermelon.....hmmmmm.
