My 14 yr old , he's fairly a good eater , will eat curry but only a tikka massala. Never really liked bell peppers.. until yesterday. I made delicious chicken, chorizo and pepper kebab skewers. He ate the lot & what he said made me smile.
Mum , on our Easter holiday I saw a young kid pick his whole plate of food apart & leave most of it and thought I don't want to be like that so now I'll just eat everything I'm given. My eldest requested a curry sauce a few days ago , a little more spicy than a tikka, the rest was in the fridge and he took some out ate it and said he appreciates spices and that they add more taste to the foods .
Anyway , being a foodie who loves to cook this made me smile

because now I don't need to dumb down the spices or eliminate anything.
