Our rule is that kids always have to try the stuff parents are eating. Even if they already have tried it before and they didn't like it. I read a few articles that said that it may take as many as a dozen exposures to a food before the child starts to like it. This has shown itself to be true for us, with our daughter learning to love tomatoes, curry (Indian and Thai), Edam cheese, artichokes, and so on after multiple exposures. Consequently, we basically never have to eat kid food since she has really come to have an expanded palette.
