Oh and I should have said, keep offering.  My son went off vegetables for a while and last week he suddenly, out of the blue, decided to eat boiled broccoli with such enthusiasm he almost choked.  Today after merely nibbling cucumber with disdain for some time, he joyously chomped away.  Nothing had changed, he just started eating it again.  Go figure!

I find too my guy won't eat vegies by themselves, but as part of rice, or a curry he'll eat anything!! Weird! My guy is younger of course- not as clever... The broccoli bites are really nice!

Sorry Amazie I didn't realise you'd posted a link earlier up!  Glad you liked the broccoli nuggets, they're by far the most popular recipe now.

Wow, even I'm not brave enough to sneak broccoli into a muffin lol!

Does he eat any differently anywhere else? Nursery tell me he eats his veggies well there and I think that's having his peers around him (he's only there one day a week though).
Glad my DS isn't the only one who does this!  He's not only a veggie hater but also VERY picky.  He absolutely point blank refuses to eat any veggies, I offer them at practically every meal & they always go in the bin & it has now been this way for around 10 months & I can't see any sign of it stopping.  I don't make an issue of it or try to bargain with him, I just put them there in the hopes that one day he'll try them.  I am just thankful that he likes his fruit so at least he gets some vitamins that way.

I'd also be wary on feedback from nursery.  Although there is the peer pressure thing (and I've seen it first hand, my son used to hate breadsticks but happily ate them when his peers were) but also given half the chance, my son would steal anyone else's broccoli (as he's recently turned into a broccoli eating machine).  Just because it's gone off his plate, doesn't mean your son ate it lol!

Yes- if my guy was there he'd probably have eaten it ::)
