@Duvel Aside from personal reasons, your son's friend lucked out when he gets a regular invite to dinner with your family!

It’s always a bit of an hit & miss situation: some are quite happy with our dinners, and sometimes I get feedback from the parents that they enjoyed a lot (including the occasional “how did you get them to eat that ?”). Yesterday was such a case - he had sashimi, edamame, gyoza for the first time and he liked it so much he had to tell his mom immediately when he got picked up.

On the other hand, we have for example a semi-regular house guest who considers any topping on a plain pizza pie an insurmountable challenge, who couldn’t eat his hotdog bun because it was made from brioche dough and once requested spaghetti with tomato sauce, which silly me topped habitually with freshly grated Parmigiano, only to eat it then myself (while he got an unadulterated portion). The things we endure for our kids 😎
