Three more tasty morsels from Evertaster
”Some have the eyes of an eagle. There are others who can hear a pin drop in a crowded shopping mall. But there are few indeed who can taste the stories of the world with their tongues. You have a gift,” whispered the Master Pastry Chef.
“Guster! How many times have I told you not to go into dark secret passages in the middle of ancient cities? See? This is exactly what happens when you disobey your mother!” Mom shouted.
“Hot dogs were like the sweaty vinyl back seat of a station wagon with its windows rolled up in the sun. Frozen burritos were like buttery squirrels infected with the flu.”

More quotes from Evertaster!
“Guster was no cook, but baking something for thirty-one minutes at seventy-four degrees, then baking it for one minute at nineteen degrees seemed pointless to him. Nineteen degrees was actually really cold.”
“I don’t need a cure, I just need something to eat.”
“He has more taste buds in one square inch of his tongue than in all of Iowa!”

Dealing with picky eaters
How do you deal with picky eaters? Mayo Clinic has some good ideas, including respecting your child’s choice to not eat, patiently exposing them to new foods several times without force, and not rewarding picky eating by becoming a “short-order cook” who makes a different dish for each person in the family. Or, if you’re the Johnsonville family, you could voyage the world in pursuit of the one perfect recipe.
