Happy 8th Birthday to Mr. Liam! We have a more Liam (and some Caleb too) focused video today to give him some birthday love. So please wish him well! and for those of you who commented earlier on this video, I had to reupload it as there was a rendering issue that left the screen black for about 30 seconds. So this is the reupload. Thanks everyone!
Happy Birthday! Thank you for the kid related content, your advice is so helpful!
Happy birthday!
My neighbors (who are both really fantastic parents) had their kids log the local foods they ate on their travels - parents helped them with spelling and descriptions of course. The oldest daughter was adventurous and kind of pretended to like everything while the younger daughter was more honest and made faces when she mentioned certain items. Anyway, they had lots of fun reading off all the foods they tried whenever I visited and would ask about their recent trip. It got to a point where they (the kids) willingly wanted to try local and different foods just so they could add it to their list. Seems like a fun and very easy project for kids when visiting a foreign country while expanding their palate horizons.
And this is why we love you Tosh. Always giving us great ideas. Thank you
Watching this video, it reminded me of when my family hosted some Chinese exchange students for a couple weeks in the summer when I was a teenager. They were supposed to get the "American experience," so naturally, my dad cooks Chinese food every night.
No joke, I went about five years pretty much repulsed by Asian food. Now, I'm much better. I love Thai & Japanese food, but I tell that story often to people.
Your videos are always great, but your kids smiles are even greater.
Happy birthday Liam (fine Irish name you have) ! what an amazing life you have traveling the world. Wishing you many more adventures !!
Thank you!
Thank you needed this for my boyfriend ;)
LMAO
Honestly we have seen more picky adults than kids on our travels :)
Wishing you a belated but terrifically happy 8th birthday Liam. May you have a fun year and may you find new desserts and yummy foods to try in your travels.
Happy Birthday Liam!! I ❤️ the entire Wolters World family, your videos have helped me immensely as i prepare for my first international journey (solo btw!) thank you guys, keep up the great work
Thank you and I'm glad we can help get you ready.
Wolter your kids are so adorable!
Thank you!
These are great tips, Mark! I think these tips will come in handy when we’re traveling with my grandma or some picky eating friends.
And I find that no matter what Quincy and I try, I always find something similar to what I already know whether I’m looking for it or not. I find that every culture has some form of flatbread, noodles, rice dish, lentils, beans, etc.
It’s always nice to learn how to different cultures prepare vegetables, proteins, etc.
And it’s even interesting to learn what other cultures enjoy in their ice cream flavors and what different cultures put on sandwiches. Also never discredit fast food. I found that there are certain things that are exclusive to different countries.
For instance, beef and pork are not allowed to be served in McDonald’s locations in India so people have other options instead.
Mac paneer anyone? I haven’t even tried that but I know I want to when I go to India next time.
Veggie strips at an Indian KFC? You can find that too.
Baby corn and Szechuan sauce on pizza? You can find that at Indian Pizza Hut locations.
I also like your idea of letting kids choose from the appetizer menu. I think that’s even a handy tip at any age.
This is not just a video to help with picky eaters. Its also a video about parenting children the right way...which sounds like a great deal of effort.
It takes a village they say to raise a child
The French also do this; exposing their children to all adult foods as soon as they are able to chew or digest. The rule of taking one bite is a lovely one as it allows them a tasting but is not overwhelming or would upset their stomachs if an item isn’t compatible to their system. My mom had the “clean the plate” which often created arguments, long sittings at the dinner table (I can outside the Sphinx) and sometimes getting involuntarily sick. Seems creamed foods and my system are not friends. Lol. Anyway, so awesome to see your kiddos trying things. 👍🏼
Fantastic topic! By watching the video it is obvious that your kids are doing much better than ours at trying different foods! We are continuing to work on it and thanks for the great tips--we will definitely try them.
It's tough sometimes. There are times when they are like, "I'm not hungry" to try to get out of something. But in general they are good sports
Omg your kids are will brave to even try the frogs legs and snails errrr no way would I or my 3 even go there lol and happy birthday xx
Wow! Awesome tips! Thank-you! Happy birthday Liam, enjoy one year older!
Thank you
You have the most beautiful looking kids, happy birthday Liam🥳
Thank you
Congratulations to Liam and thanks for the advice Mark! Going to Japan soon with my wife and she's a pretty picky eater so I have a feeling these tips will come in handy
Happy Birthday Liam. Yay 8 years old.
There is almost nothing I won't eat here in America but I was kinda a picky eater in Japan. But I tried most everything except octopus (eye)balls...takoyaki.
Happy birthday, Liam!
Mark: I like that “treat or blackmail” thing... and I LOL @ being directed at your dad. But yes, great idea!
Seriously we have used it on my dad for about 20 years now :)
My friends are the pickiest eaters imaginable! Traveling with them can be frustrating when literally all they ever want to eat is just a small select few things that they're familiar with and can easily get back home. Which can really feel like an anchor when you want to explore and be adventurous, even doing something as simple as trying the local food.
We have had people like that before with us traveling and we ended up splitting up for meals. Works the same way when people have different food budgets. No offense was taken as we talked about it before the trip. Made things a lot easier
Honestly that is the best solution, decide before eating. Point to where you're going and say "I'm going there, with or without you." That'll spare you all the misery of having that dreadful "where do you wanna eat" argument.
You are such an adoable family, I love watching your videos. Keep it going! Brave kids to try out all these weird food, I certainly would not eat those. And happy birthday Liam. Best wishes to you all.
Great video. We always made our kids try things twice (not at the same time) with a full bite each. Then if they still did not like it they did not have to eat it after that. Funny things was that they usually liked it after the second try. Not all the time, but most time.
Very cool ideas!
1. Good tip about the appetizer menu. Wish I had thought of that when my daughter was young.
2. Anything Dad eats, you can eat. That rule got my daughter to eat lots of interesting foods: sushi at age 5, pho at 6.
3. Picky eaters are not just Americans. Made a Thanksgiving dinner in Korea. Many Korean kids refused to eat the mashed potatoes.
Thanks so much for the advice! My wife is the picky eater when we travel and it can be difficult sometimes!
Oh and how would you maneuver if you don’t eat ANY seafood. No fishes, shellfishes crawlers nope nada nein. I am not sure if many countries are vegetarian friendly. I actually eat a little chicken (no game birds or duck) and a bit of beef (no bison alpaca or buffalo). So yeah, just saying vegetarian has been my go to for eating and stood me well. Just didn’t know if you know of a different approach?
Very nice.. Happy Easter!
Happy Easter!
Good now do one about picky travelers
Happy Birthday Liam. Enjoy watching you grow up as you travel around the world with the family. Wish I was adventurous in eating as you are. Unfortunately I'm not and that limits our travels to mostly Europe (not a bad limit). Thankfully my kids are not like me when it comes to food.
Superb advice
Happy birthday Liam!!!
Liam’s face 5:06 😂😂 Happy Birthday to him!!
He thought it was a brain :)
Happy Birthday Liam :-)
Oh and FELÍZ CUMPLEAÑOS, Liam!🎊
Gracias!
Happy birthday Liam!
Happy birthday, Liam!
I think my biggest travel concern these days is: I know how to look for signs of bed bugs. But, if we pick them up, what do we DO? How do we avoid spreading them or bringing them home?
I dont know any good ways. We always wash our clothes straight from the luggage when we get back
@@woltersworld I find it ridiculous that its 2019, and instead of flying cars and domed resorts on the moon, we have bed bugs and measles, lol.
Ah well, what can you do.
Thank you for responding!
Happy birthday, Liam! My birthday is in April, too...I hink April prople have the most fun. What do you think?
He would agree :)
That octopus 🐙 is stuffed with a quail egg. Its not brains! 😁
Great advice, now do you know the secret to...
Husband: Let's go out to eat, where would you like to go?
Wife: Anywhere is fine with me.
Husband:OK, let's try (insert your choice(s) here).
Wife: Anywhere if fine, but not there.
Repeat.
Just go somewhere you like and let her choose something from the menu. Its her problem now.
Say "guess where I'm taking you to dinner?"
take her to her first guess
List 3 places and if that doesn't work, upgrade to a lower maintenance model.
Your kids are sooo cuteee 😄
Thank you
Hi Mark! What about picky adults? I have to admit not enjoying wine or beer. Really don't drink at all. What drink options are there in Rome, Salzburg, Strasbourg, ect for us?
Most european countries have local soda. Try those. Salzburg has Almdudler (a soda with herbs), Rome has Chinotto (quite bitter), in Strasbourg you can try Diabolo (Sprite with different siroups). Just ask the waiter.
Moralhell has it right. We've found fun tasty local sodas. Apfelschole in Germany is like a bubble apple water like drink. Tastes way better than I am explaining it though
That’s a great point, Mark. Even if you enjoy beer and wine, it’s always nice to mix it up with nonalcoholic options.
I must admit places like India and Turkey have a yogurt-based drink and I’m sure the other countries have yogurt-based drinks too.
And out of the fact is that the probiotics in the yogurt can help you digest certain foods so you don’t feel so terrible.
I’m always down for some hot chocolate any day of the week.
Play my water is fine as long as it safe to drink. Always ask your server or find out from people. Sometimes you might have friends or just try to observe what others are orderin Mark forgot to mention Irnbru in Scotland.
If you enjoy coffee or tea or both, that it opens up even more options.
g enjoy your travels!.
Happy birthday Liam :)
...................totaly not watching this for myself cause im totaly not afraid of new food...
When I was in Europe, I literally challenged myself to try the local foods. Every time I was served a dish and thought "Ugh, that looks gross!" I would remind myself of my personal challenge and tried the food anyway. No regrets!
Am one of them...am picky eater! Happy birthday to Liam
lol how to deal with myself
Nintendo DSiXL spotted at 1:19. Clip must be quite old at this point.
@@KezzDaddy Oh I use my older game systems on a near daily basis. DSi is my alarm clock (it is actually a bit louder than the 3DS, and the hinges don't make that CRACKING sound that can wake my girlfriend up). My *new*3ds XL and flat 2DS are still used on a near-daily basis. And I've got two GBA SPs and a Bitt Boy kicking around somewhere if I wanna change up the form factor.
3:21 First you talk about bringing food and then you talk about bringing goldfish?
Before I forget... I found a notification of this same video, but that video seems to have disappeared.
The goldfish is a thing kids love in the US. I said dont feel like you have to bring goldfish (crackers) :)
I uploaded the first one but it rendered wrong so I had to take down the original and put the fixed version back up
I really enjoy trying what the locals eat where ever I go. The way I deal with it is to kick out of my life anyone who just want to eat "what they know". It's better for your mental sanity and blood pressure. Recommended by doctors.
Edit: wops you talk about kids. I don't know anything about tiny humans, try putting them on a Tabasco diet from a very young age.
Haha I'm a very picky eater my parents hate me lol
i'm the picky eater! everywhere i go i always pin McDonalds and Starbucks as a fall-back food source. and mini-marts always have *something* edible. i honestly find most restaurant food fairly disgusting. just sell me a damned burger already.
though to be honest i did have the Borsch and Beef Stroganoff in Moscow.
if you have a kid who is a picky eater, let them just fast a little. After an hour of hunger, they will not pick... well, hunger is the best chef out there. I am a picky eater and on top of that, I am lactose intolerant :D ...
Oh yes. Our pediatrician told us that once when one of them wasnt eating. He said... when he's hungry he will eat, dont worry :) we still worried
2nd comment
So, basically, don't let them be picky eaters. Got it. lol
That would be the twitter version, yes :)
What are your kids freaking out about in 5:00? What are they eating? Also, i cannot believe people eat guinea pigs!!!!I would not taste it !
