Bree would never agree with dummies. But I swore by them, in fact we wouldn't leave the house unless all pockets were filled with dummies.
Re Tomato and Rice Surprise: I used to use a lot of that reverse psychology and say things like, "What this? This is mummy's lunch, you probably wouldn't like it!" or I'd trick them mercilessly with, "Ooooh, if you have eat this spoonful you can have another one!" making very excited faces all the way through. They worked for me.
Good luck!
