I don't happen to like seafood. I grew up in the midwest and the closest we got to seafood was beer-battered perch dipped in catsup. Oh, and Gorton's frozen fish sticks. My husband grew up in Connecticut and loves seafood. Thankfully, he has been influential in expanding our daughter's food experiences.
Tonight, I bought my daughter some sushi and it occurred to me that experiencing new things, including food, is a learning experience. It encourages open mindedness, a sense of adventure and awareness of different cultures. Where do they eat sushi? What is the word's origin? Why might people eat raw fish? Why do we cook other meats?
Try something new with your child this week. By the way, I did taste the sushi; I didn't like it.
