Guest Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 My lot love tomatoes - give them a try, especially when you get cheap, squishy ones that are being sold cheap because they are going out of date! Or apple and pear cores! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachel19 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Ours love spagetti and mince mixed together with a little olive oil and some grit. I also made them some banana and carrot muffins for their birthday which they loved. Yorkshire pudding and pancakes also usually go down well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannie Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Ours love tomatoes espically the seeds Ours used to be scared of anything red Will have to try again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Mine love Nectarines and peaches They don't get them whole, just the fleshy bit round the stones that I don't eat. I am a treat meanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffymuppet Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Ours used to be scared of anything red Will have to try again... Ah...that would explain why my two acted so strangely when I tried to give them a slug munched strawberry yesterday. I put it in their dish of sweetcorn and it stopped them eating it. I didn't think anything could! They recovered their composure when nasty-evil-red-strawberry-thing didn't move, and polished off the sweetcorn, but the strawberry was still there this morning!

kannie Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Strange isn't it? Mind you our two didn't hang back when I gave them a mango stone to finish off yesterday - maybe orange is OK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Mine like tomato and strawberries. They get funny red beaks after strawberries though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Someone recommended hanging up a portion of watermelon - sounds like a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Here is my girls favourite treat.... A few slices of grainy bread,whizzed to crumbs in the food processor. Drench generously with either olive oil or plain bio yogurt. Mix well,ensuring all the bread is well coated. Throw in a handful of raisins,chopped cucumber,diced toms or whatever else you have knocking about & there you go. I also made garlic spaghetti last week & they really,really enjoyed the leftovers from that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
