Anyone have picky egg eaters in their house that only eat store eggs?

have him try a warm ripe tomato right off the vine.. or the next time he is really thirsty, give him a couple of unpeeled smallish cucumbers (with or without salt).

when we were kids we used to raid gardens for tiny carrots and green onions..

and when we got older, we would find a sweet pea field and settle down with a 6/pac and all the peas we could eat..

I gave my friend (with tween girls) some eggs (brown) recently. She later told me that her girls thought it was weird and scary that the eggs were brown. I told her that when I was growing up I thought white eggs were "weird and scary." Also that if someone served me store-bought milk I had to choke it down...icky watery stuff.

Anyway, people are different.

(but we're RIGHT!)

I don't tolerate stupidity in my household either. If they won't eat what is available, they don't eat. My fridge doesn't hold anything I don't approve.

I have a boy that loves store bought, white, cheap, unhealthy bread.....but he eats my homemade whole wheat because I don't buy "his" kind. Let him eat crap when he gets his own house.....we don't serve crap here!

I don't allow soda, sports drinks, etc. in my fridge. If they want to consume trash, they must earn enough to have their own home in which to consume it.....until then we serve wholesome, healthy foods....I'm the one paying for their health care so I don't feed junk. The road is thataway>>>>>>>> if they don't like how I run things!

For all of you who have those kind of people in your homes, I say grow a spine and put down the foot that is attached to it!

I sometimes wish he was...my in-laws have an acre of land and a sheep dog. They keep their sheep dog locked inside (even though their acre backyard is fully fenced and has hardwire cloth along the bottom half of the fence) and he would be fine out there running and being a dog. And their entire acre is grass! My FIL seeds it, fertilizes it, mows it, etc. No gardens allowed--that would involved digging up their grass! I recently found out that's why they don't let the dog out there to play--because he might tear up the grass.

My DH thinks the same thing about our grass thanks to his parents, but I don't stand for that nonsense. LOL. We have two big dogs, patches of mud my 2 year old has a blast playing in, chickens, and I claimed 1/4th of our backyard for my garden this spring. I figure my DH got shorted as a kid--never got to experience childhood on a farm or with animals or gardens--but I'll make up for it now...and he'll eventually appreciate it, hopefully.

That's funny! When I cook my four daughters their eggs in the morning I always say "from the chickens butt to your lips" as I put the plate down.

They usually grimace at me but then eat like there's no tomorrow...

Bluey, that is hilarious. I'll have to tell my son that in the morning when hes eating his breakfast

I have one friend who can't/won't eat brown eggs if she sees them. White farm fresh is fine.
For her, it has to do with the egg color. I had sent some home to her DH and he had cooked up most of them and she was able to eat them until she found out they were brown eggs.
Told her we can get white egg layers to take care of that. I am trying to get her addicted to chickens too.

You are right Skeeter. Could you imagine how long a child would have survived back in the early to mid 1900's. If you was a picky eater, you went hungry. Only the strongest survive.
