My neighbors (who are both really fantastic parents) had their kids log the local foods they ate on their travels - parents helped them with spelling and descriptions of course. The oldest daughter was adventurous and kind of pretended to like everything while the younger daughter was more honest and made faces when she mentioned certain items. Anyway, they had lots of fun reading off all the foods they tried whenever I visited and would ask about their recent trip. It got to a point where they (the kids) willingly wanted to try local and different foods just so they could add it to their list. Seems like a fun and very easy project for kids when visiting a foreign country while expanding their palate horizons.

Watching this video, it reminded me of when my family hosted some Chinese exchange students for a couple weeks in the summer when I was a teenager. They were supposed to get the American experience, so naturally, my dad cooks Chinese food every night.
No joke, I went about five years pretty much repulsed by Asian food. Now, I'm much better. I love That & Japanese food, but I tell that story often to people.

Oh and how would you maneuver if you dont eat ANY seafood. No fishes, shellfishes crawlers nope nada nein. I am not sure if many countries are vegetarian friendly. I actually eat a little chicken (no game birds or duck) and a bit of beef (no bison alpaca or buffalo. So yeah, just saying vegetarian has been my go to for eating and stood me well. Just didnt know if you know of a different approach?

I really enjoy trying what the locals eat where ever I go. The way I deal with it is to kick out of my life anyone who just want to eat what they know. It's better for your mental sanity and blood pressure. Recommended by doctors.
Edit: wops you talk about kids. I don't know anything about tiny humans, try putting them on a Tabasco diet from a very young age.

My friends are the pickiest eaters imaginable! Traveling with them can be frustrating when literally all they ever want to eat is just a small select few things that they're familiar with and can easily get back home. Which can really feel like an anchor when you want to explore and be adventurous, even doing something as simple as trying the local food.

1. Good tip about the appetizer menu. Wish I had thought of that when my daughter was young.
2. Anything Dad eats, you can eat. That rule got my daughter to eat lots of interesting foods: sushi at age 5, pho at 6.
3. Picky eaters are not just Americans. Made a Thanksgiving dinner in Korea. Many Korean kids refused to eat the mashed potatoes.

i'm the picky eater! everywhere i go i always pin McDonalds and Starbucks as a fall-back food source. and mini-marts always have something edible. i honestly find most restaurant food fairly disgusting. just sell me a damned burger already.
though to be honest i did have the Borsch and Beef Stroganoff in Moscow.

Happy Birthday Liam. Enjoy watching you grow up as you travel around the world with the family. Wish I was adventurous in eating as you are. Unfortunately I'm not and that limits our travels to mostly Europe (not a bad limit. Thankfully my kids are not like me when it comes to food.

Great video. We always made our kids try things twice (not at the same time) with a full bite each. Then if they still did not like it they did not have to eat it after that. Funny things was that they usually liked it after the second try. Not all the time, but most time.

Great advice, now do you know the secret to.
Husband: Let's go out to eat, where would you like to go?
Wife: Anywhere is fine with me.
Husband: OK, let's try (insert your choice(s) here.
Wife: Anywhere if fine, but not there.
Repeat.
