[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 230491, member: 3907"] One of the things that the picky eaters in my house (Little easy child, Me) have grown to enjoy is squash chips. As Marg suggested, using vegetables other than potatoes, make them into french-fry-like shapes, toss them in oil and whatever spice combination you prefer, and then bake them. I have a kitchen doodad that slices potatoes into chips (i.e. french fries), so they are the right shape. I put in squash or sweet potatoes. The one key is to bake them really well and be sure to turn them so that they are crisp all around. The texture of the baked squash or sweet potato is similar to that of fries, so it works well. With me (and it seems with Little easy child as well) texture is a MUCH bigger deal than flavour. It has to be crisp, or crunchy, or soupy, or whatever texture I'm looking for. If your difficult child likes dry and salty, then squash fries and sweet potato fries might be just the ticket. If you are going to try this, make sure to get pepper squash or one of the other firm varieties. Butternut squash is a bit too mushy and doesn't pretend to be a french fry as well as pepper squash does. Hope this helps Trinity [/QUOTE]
