I didn't see the other thread either but DS always eats the same dinner we eat - Morroccan chicken last night, Salmon with Garlic and Lemon tonight, Beef Stew, Black Bean Burrittos, Roasted Tofu, etc. The kid will eat most everything...last night he kept asking for more kale.
We're the same as Clarity, he has always had the same meals as us - spices, indian, japanese etc and it has never been an issue. He always tries stuff and if he doesn't like, I don't force it. He'll keep trying it though and normally he ends up liking it - this was the case with broccoli - tried it 20 times and now loves it.
