Our littlest eater has the biggest and most sophisticated palette of all our kids, and long ago earned a very appropriate nickname: GuacaMolly. We take it for granted most of the time, but it takes someone else being astonished for us to truly take note.
The other night, when out to dinner with another baseball family, Molly reached into my water glass, retrieved the lemon inside, and began eating it like an apple, rind and all. The other mom across the table became absolutely riveted, and with mouth hanging open, exclaimed, "I have NEVER seen anyone do that before!!"
GuacaMolly has been making our eyes pop for a long time, and it's no wonder with the long list of spicy foods she absolutely adores:
Guacamole
Salsa -- the spicier, the better
hot wasabi peas
horseradish
mustard
chili
spicy meats, especially peppered salami
"bubbly water," aka Pelegrino
And, of course, lemons, mostly from the Molly-sized lemon bush/tree right outside our kitchen window
