My kids eat very well. They eat sushi, raw oysters and every vegetable imaginable. I'm sure their gustatory curiosity is due to our dinner table rules. By the way, there is rarely any drama at the table about trying new foods. They know the routine; they try it and if they don't like it they don't have to eat it.

That's pretty much what I do.
Mine will eat anything. At a sushi restaurant, they'll eat the uni, octopus, etc. I've actually regretted that one, since I think the uni is one of the most expensive items on the menu, and what once started as a dare has now become a desired and costly delicacy.
