2) The touch test - does it feel ok?

We have had some success with encouraging her to add the finger test: putting food on her finger and tasting it. That's how we found out she likes Fench Onion Soup!
My daughter who is 6 now, will eat a sour pickle but, gags on mashed potatos. We have just now got her where she will try something new not based on looks.
