My daughter is a very fussy eater. She can eat her weight in pasta and cereal, but will ignore food she's not interested in, which is just about everything other than pasta and cereal and some very select meats and one kind of vegetable. No big surprise from someone her age, but I still persist in trying to get her to eat new foods. Here's a conversation we had recently about what we should have for dinner.
Me: Lauren, would you like rice or couscous?
Lauren: Sausage!
Me: OK, with your sausage, would you like rice or couscous?
Lauren: Cucumber!
Me: OK, with your sausage and cucumber would you like rice or couscous?
Pause ... smile ...
Lauren: I don't know!
A few minutes later...
Me: Lauren, would you like pasta with your sausage and cucumber?
Lauren: Ummm, yup!
Well played little girl, well played.
