I just happen like these little suckers, soak in lemon juice, salt and pepper and cook with Ham and potatoes, add other veggies if you wish.
Kids would eat cabbage but these baby's needed special treatment. Cook them up in bacon fat, place in a covered bowl, place on the table and refuse to allow the kids to eat them. Drove the kids Nuts, all 4 would look at the bowl and even if they did not like the smell they had that Why not us look.
Kids watch parents enjoy a forbidden food and by golly they can not help themselves from sneaking a bite of Adult Food
Now when one comes to Lobster, very tricky, give the kids hot dogs and adults eat the Monsters. When we came East from California the kids were 18 months to 3, one 5 and one 8 years old. Dad made the mistake of gathering the kids around in the kitchen and putting the live Monsters on the floor. Scared the hell out of the kids, Dad had a dozen or more from his traps he caught himself and these baby's had never seen such a thing.
Only one of the kids it did not bother was the 18 month old in a walker that was getting quite a kick out of running into them.
Food is interesting be it Lobster or Fiddle Ferns or Artichokes. Kids don't like it, put if off limits to them, they will developer a taste for anything forbidden.
