Mealtime Magic: Cultural Cuisine

Are you trying to get your kids to enjoy meals from other countries - or just want to expand their palate? Try making a game of it or incorporating other activities. If you watch a movie with a character from Japan, try encouraging your kids to try Japanese food then. If you have a globe or a map, make it random by closing your eyes and pointing to a country. Or use a country's cuisine as a guide, even if you don't make an authentic meal - just alter the spices and flavorings to more closely suit your family's tastes.
