the reality of eating with kids in vancouver

I'm shocked when I ask Josh what his favourite food is, he says "sushi and dim sum".  I guess I really shouldn't be shocked since the availability and quality of both is quite high in Vancouver.  (My dad often comments that Josh was born in the wrong country because of his palate.)

I was doubly shocked today when Aves asked to try toro sashimi.  She liked it.

The reality is: with a 2.5 year-old and a 5 year-old, our sushi nights just got a tad more expensive.

Not entirely sure that's a Vancouver phenom! My oldest has been eating mussels and sushi since he was about 3. Ask him what he'd prefer for his birthday, McD's or sushi, he'll go with Sushi every time. It's what kids are exposed to that creates their palates; we assume that young children can't appreciate different flavours and textures.

Last week, Grandma took Olle out for sushi. Apparently, when Olle ordered Tako Sunomono the waitress did a double take, and Grandma had no idea what he'd just ordered. Having said that, if Olle had a choice of sushi, and McD's I suspect (sadly) he'd choose McD's.
