Things Molly's Monkey loves to eat

MM may be the most adventurous and fruit-friendly two year old there is.

Since he was barely a year old he's loved olives and these days he'll eat 12 anchovy stuffed olives in one go no problem.

MM loves:

nectarines/peaches
apples
plums
strawberries
raspberries
blackberries
blueberries
oranges
kiwi
mango
grapes
raisins
dried cranberries
banana smoothies
any type of fruit bar esp. Humzingers
all fruit in jelly (pineapple/mandarins...)
sun-dried tomatoes
olives
cheese
yoghurt
milk (that he drinks by the gallon it seems!)
and on and on...

He's been known to put away toasted, buttered German rye bread for breakfast (that I call cake) and demolished pakora, samosa and onion bhaji for lunches. He loves my chorizo paella, mushroom risotto, tuna melts, cheese croissants, pesto spaghetti and Grandma's pasta bolognese to name a few. I'm so lucky he's such a wonderful eater.

Life wouldn't be complete without treats too though and he loves his ice-cream, fish fingers, the odd chocolate, biscuits, a slice of pizza, potato waffles and of course chips but the highlight for MM is always his ketchup! Go figure.

Of the very very few things he doesn't really like I can only think of: potatoes, melon and bizarrely sponge cake that he almost always refuses :)
