How old is he? My son is four and he eats nothing but chicken nuggets, eggo waffles and pizza. Once in a while he will eat wonton soup. But he is a giant pain in the ass. He won't even try stuff and it is very fustrating. We laid down the law tonight, and we were going to make him sit at the table until he ate the ziti my wife made. After an hour he said he would eat a scrambled egg if my wife made it. Sure enough he did. Good Luck with your boy, may he start to eat everything.

Math he's 8 years old and the irony is that when he was 3 he would eat herring with onions in wine sauce and other things.He then turned and wouldn't eat anything but Pizza,chicken nuggets and his lunch in school would be a dry everything bagel.He now eats onion omelletes,Ravioli and has broadened his food groups but it's been frustrating as many on this board can attest to.We've also been spoiled because our daughter eats everything.She sees something new on your plate she has to try it.She's been eating Sushi since she's 18 months old and she's 5 now.The Sushi chef always makes something special for her because he has gotten such a kick out of watching her.She's the only one in the house that likes anchovies.As they say no 2 kids are alike.

Jesus, no wonder he won't eat anything.... herring with onions ....I would need culinary therapy after that.....

not trying to make light of it....my two sons mom and I divorced when they were 7 and 5 and she is the queen of take out and I love to cook.....now they are 17 and 15 and it can still be a struggle with the 15 year old....and I'm talking basic stuff......green beans, corn, etc.....maybe I should try some herring and onions tomorrow..

Samarta it was his own doing.I was eating them one day about 6 years ago and he asked to try them.I told him he might not like it but to my amazement he asked for more and loved to eat it if i cut them up and put toothpicks in them.
