We had a rule in my house as my boys were growing up – if there was something on the dinner table they didn’t like, they didn’t have to eat it – but they couldn’t get anything to substitute for it out of the refrigerator or cupboard either – this wasn’t especially onerous, either, as most nights we offered two meats, two vegetables, along with a mixed greens salad. (but only one dessert)
Exactly what I went through with my mother over pot roast/stew meat. To this day I’ve adopted the George-Bush-and-the-Broccoli stance: I’m a grown up, and I’m never going to eat it again.

Must not be fried chicken. Can’t say yuck to fried chicken.

Whatever happened to “eat it or go hungry?”

Never trust anyone who doesn’t like chicken because, as we all know, everything tastes like chicken.
