What is the one vegetable or food that parents have the biggest misconception about?

"Parents really don’t give their kids credit for what they really like. I don’t think there’s really one food that they won’t eat. When it comes to feeding children really incredible flavors, you have to start out with the basics, and you have to start off with flavors you’re going to like. They’re going to like everything from roasted chicken to cranberry pork chops to beef wellington to dessert. You have to open up the menu."

I think it's so important for pregnant women to eat vegetables, and not from a health standpoint. I read somewhere that a baby's tastebuds develop in utero, so whatever the mom is eating is going to be what the baby likes. I don't know how true this is, but my daughter's fave foods are blueberries, broccoli, mango and other foods I ate a LOT of when I was pregnant. She also likes spicy foods, and I ate Tabasco on everything for about 3 months. (And chocolate.....)
