Lately I've been eating grapefruit almost daily. Jared thinks it looks so cool and one day wanted to try a bite. He took the full spoonful and made a face but swallowed (I fully expected it to come right back out). He then replied, "I don't like it, I'll like it when I'm older." Fair enough. I told him I didn't like it as much when I was little either.
But a few days later he wanted to try it again (I guess it looks too cool to not like;). He tried it and wasn't too sure but asked for more. I had only taken a few bites before this. Spencer by this time was also interested and between feeding a bite to each one every other style I didn't get any more of the grapefruit. And... I usually eat just half a grapefruit but they finished the halve I started and finished the other half as well. I guess he decided he was old enough:)
Another food that both boys love is pickles. I'd bought a smaller jar of pickles and Jared and I finished it in one day. The next week I bought another one and Spencer helped in devouring the pickled cucumbers. I have now resorted to a Costco size jar of pickles so we can have as many as we please. Although the ones I got at Costco are more spicy so we don't eat them as fast.
Spencer now will go to the fridge open it and point to the pickles until I come and get the jar out. When I finally do he starts moving his feet so fast like a run or dance until I get a pickle out to give him. He really loves those things. (On a side note Spencer has learned to open the fridge and toilet this last month, Dang it!)

We have been eating a lot of pickles and grapefruit at our house too! They are great snacks. It is nice to have a few foods that kids are daring enough to eat.
Oh man! My mouth started watering for a pickle...thanks! Its too early to get one too, but I did have one last night so I'm good! :) I'm glad your boys have good taste :)
