Oh, no no no. If I were into torturing my kids, I'd bring my son along. He is very picky. I do like him to try new foods, but it's a very slow process and I won't force him to do more than taste things.
My daughter is pretty adventurous. I took her to this one restaurant a while back - Cena, I think it was called - and it was really weird. Buffet style sides, and then these people came around to tables with meat and carved you a little bit - different kinds in rotation. We enjoyed it but I'm not sure we'll go back. Still, she took it like a real trouper.
I also need to take her to the German restaurant in Newport. She's taking German this year (and also had classes half of last year) and is really fascinated with the culture.
I love to open their horizons. But you have to tailor the experiences to the kid's interests. For my daughter, food is the path to her heart. My son is more interested in art and music. Fortunately, I love it all.
