What you just mentioned is a great example encouraging adventure in a child. One of Michael's favorite places to go when he was little, was the Pike Place Farmer's Market, where he could sample anything and everything. Some of the vendors that he goes to now remember him as a little child and proudly point him out as someone that they have been serving for over 40 years.
He was never told that he couldn't try something and no matter how revolting it looked to me I never let on. The quickest way for a parent to turn any child off a food is to say, yuck.
