French toast, of course! Daniel refers to them as "cake cakes" because that's what I told him they were. This is usually how I introduce new foods to him - I tell him it's something similar that he likes and he takes a bite and decides whether or not it is in fact what I said it was, and if not, he then decides if he'll eat it anyway. The first bite of french toast was too hot, so for a split second I thought I'd be eating them by myself, but the maple syrup side down and a little blowing on the next bite won him over.
The only time this method flat out crashed and burned was the time I told him that the black bean soup was chocolate. No, I am not cruel. It was his idea. He asked, "Chocolate?" as I took a bite, and I replied (no doubt donning a smirk), "Sure, Daniel... it's chocolate soup... want a bite?" You can guess the rest.
This sounds like how I have been getting my husband to eat new foods. He is terrified of "slimy" foods. But if I can convince him things are "like stir-fry" he will eat just about anything! Its been working great on him for almost 7 years :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! We make French toast with French bread, and add a little Knob Creek whiskey in place of vanilla (I don't know we have no vanilla but we have whiskey, but it tastes HEAVENLY). And nutmeg. Must have nutmeg. mMMMMMmmmm...and if there are any leftovers of the dipping mixture, we just make scrambled eggs out of it - the BEST scrambled eggs your tongue's ever tasted.
ReplyDeleteKrista, looks like I'm training up a future husband just like yours ;)
ReplyDeleteDanielle, today for lunch I added vanilla and cinnamon - definitely an improvement!
