Aah I do not think that would work well with me as I would already know where the vegetables are :D .

I don't care if I know that they are there, so long as they taste like they aren't there. But then again I guess it depends on the type of vegetable.

I never had a problem with my daughter and veggies either (well, except for brussels sprouts) :) so I didn't have to "hide" anything. I'm not really sure I would have done that anyhow. She likes the cooked, though, and not the raw variety.

It is easily broken, yes. They are so trusting. I was never tricked into eating things and I haven't done that either. I remember not liking things and being told to just try it to see if maybe I could like it. Sometimes it took many tries over the years (peas and chili come to mind :) ) but it worked... I enjoy chili and peas very much now. :D

I wish I could find some foods that disguise the taste of vegetables for myself. I've always been a picky eater, and even when I was a kid I couldn't stand the taste of most vegetables. My mother had to do some pretty fast talking to keep me healthy. :)

I'm another one who doesn't really go with the idea of sneaking veggies into things, but I have a vegetarian friend who is expert at it. She has to be, as her vegetarian son refuses to eat veggies. Her favourite is carrot grated into (fake) sausage rolls. Even I can't tell it's there even though I know it is.

When her son is here I either blend everything into a pasta sauce as has already been suggested, or just live with it & thank heavens he's not my kid.

Feel really lucky. Most of the time you have to force them to even try them. Be happy be proud.

I very seldomly come across a kid who actually likes their vegetables, but I guess when you do come across one, it's easy to cook for them. I always loved broccoli and zucchini. :)

My father did this to me once as well. Telling me that black olives were fish eyes and that they were watching you as you ate them. I was so little that I was actually scared and to this day I absolutely refuse to eat any kind of olives.

I was never fond of zucchini until a friend of mine brought me some zucchini bread she'd made and it was sooo good! Now when I have a giant zucchini I scan my recipe book for new ways to cook it.
