vircel_du, what sometimes works for my little girl is to ask her to have one bite of a new food before giving her the same old trusty food. Granted, there are still many misses, and the only way my girl will eat tomatoes is in ketchup form (bleagh!), but at least I feel like I'm trying. Don't give up! My little brother used to only want hot dogs morning, noon, and night and now a teenager, he can't stand them...
