Make Your Own Damn Dinner!: Chicken skin revisited
Posted by Badger at 8:31 PM
I don't know WHY, and this may not be any help whatsoever, but my kids will eat romaine leaves as a "salad" voluntarily almost every night. Usually they like it with just olive oil and salt. Occasionally, dipped in dressing (naked). For some reason, they hate the spine, and only eat the green---works for me! FWIW, they are 7 and 9.
Alternative ideas: pick your own damn veggie/fruit! Let them think THEY thought of it......

I find those bagged lettuce leaves awfully dispiriting. Especially the mache (sp?) which gets so limp.
Hey, the boy has discovered Caesar salads and orders them in restaurants all the time. He also likes romaine or iceberg lettuce in his sandwiches. Now, I don't bother trying to get my kids to eat salad at home, but maybe this romaine lettuce idea will work for your boy.
I detest lettuce in a bag. I think it has a chemical taste.
