When me and wife were in Majorca two years ago, speaking to a family of 6, they were complaining that there was too much foreign food on offer and not enough English food.

That reminds me of an anecdote about an English guy living on the Costa del Sol. When asked if many foreigners lived there he replied, "No, no, no. There's one Norwegian but the rest of us are all British" :)

I'm very unfussy. Tripe, snouts, sea urchins, porcupine, coagulated blood cubes, trotters, crickets, gizzards- sign me up. But I can't Salmiakki, that salty Finnish liquorice. Not for me, Clive.

My 16yo used to be really fussy. It's been slow going, lots of cajoling, a little bartering and a fair bit of deception (onion rings... Yep, Calamari is Spanish for Onion Rings) and we are mostly there. Still has some strange 'issues'... Won't have roast potatoes, will have chips... They are the bloody same!... But generally eats a reasonable selection of food.

To anyone going through it... Persevere. It does get better. Don't give up because it gets harder the longer you leave it. I'd say we have managed a new food stuff/meal every 3/4 months and, although there are still quirks, he is pretty close to normal now.
