A real (but embellished) problem currently in my household:

Child: What's for dinner mommy?  (eats a snow pea)
Me: Chicken
Child:  Ew!  I dont like meat! (eats a cherry tomato)
Me:  Ok, I can rock the vegetarian thing.  Would you like a lentil burger instead?
Child:  No, I dont like lentils.  (eats a carrot)
Me:  I have tofu
Child: I dont like tofu (eats a red pepper)
Me: The next time I go shopping, I can get some big portobello mushrooms for you.  You could have that.
Child:  I dont like mushrooms. (eats spinach straight from the garden.  Dont dare put it on a plate)
Me: Well you have to have some protein.  What about if I made quiche?  Its like scrambled eggs.  They serve it sometimes at school.
Child:  No, I don't like the quiche they serve at school.   I only like eggs when they are served with a dunky yolk* (eats celery)
Me: Then eat the chicken.

Other people have to play sneaky chef to get their kid to eat the veggies.  I have to play sneaky protein.
-----------------------
Dunky eggs/yolk:  Fried and you dunk your toast in.
