P.S. I also like tomatos, pretty much every cheese, and basil, but oddly I dislike that tomato/mushy mozarella/basil salad.
P.P.S. On a somewhat more serious note, "She was just making a play for dietary independence" - is that a bad thing? That's one thing my wife and I kind of disagree on. She'd tend to agree with your course of action, where I would really disagree. I think it's good for kids to start asserting their independence by that age, I pretty much encourage it, not punish or discourage it. Sure, you can eventually "win" and force the kid to eat the food, but really, what is the intended point/lesson? I appreciate your posts and point of view, so I am curious as to your thinking.
(as your daughter eloquently stated: "You think this is OK? What's wrong with you?"! lol).
