Adventures in pickling

Our youngest, now 21 months, was happily chomping on some green beans at a neighborhood BBQ last night, a sight to warm any mom’s heart.
But on closer inspection, stuffed in her dimpled little hand (and mouth) was something I never would have thought to feed her — pickled green beans.
And not just any pickled green beans. Pickled green beans brined in a soy-wasabi mix. I was surprised at just how good they were.
She couldn’t get enough of them. (We were eating Windy City Wasabeans by Rick’s Picks. Next I want to try their pickled asparagus—yum!)
Sweet, not very spicy and with a great crunch. Which got me thinking—do we sometimes underestimate the kinds of new and different flavors our kids might enjoy?
Anyone else remember a time they were surprised by a taste or flavor their kids just loved?

Isn’t it funny how kids will like food that you would think they’d hate? One of ours loved calimari, not the typical kid fare. One we adopted at age five still hates beef.
