“What’s this?” Bikky poked at something on his plate.
“That’s a mushroom.”
The boy wrinkled his nose. “I don’t like it.”
“Did you even try it?”
“Yeah, but it’s horrible, all kinda slimy, like having a slug in my mouth.”
“If you dislike it that much, then you don’t have to eat it. All I ask is that you at least try things before deciding you don’t like them. Now that I know, I won’t give you mushrooms again. Everyone has things they don’t like.”
“Even you?”
“Yes, even me. I can’t bear tripe, calamari, or blood pudding. Probably a few other things, but those are the worst. No one should ever have to eat something they find disgusting.” Ryo fixed Bikky with a stern look. “But that doesn’t mean you can start telling me you hate all vegetables. You’re a growing boy, and you need a varied and balanced diet. That includes vegetables.”
“I don’t hate ALL veggies. Anyway, most of them taste okay the way you cook them. I don’t really like parsnips, except when you make them roasted and sticky, and spinach makes my teeth feel weird.”
“It does that to most people, but it’s full of iron so they still eat it.”
“Huh.”
Ryo speared the mushrooms on Bikky’s plate one at a time, transferring them to his own plate. “No sense wasting them. I like them, and the texture doesn’t bother me.”
“I don’t mind. Just as long as I don’t have to eat them.”
The End
