Well I cooked the broccoli until it virtually collapsed into mush on its own with no help fromMr T's fist and low and behold, he picked it up keenly (which is a first for broccoli, normally pulls this disgusted face just seeing it on his tray!!) sucked it vigorously and then chewed and swallowed!! You were right, I must have been under cooking it!! He also ate some of my veggie stew, another first as anything savoury like that normally got one taste, the poison face and then become vegetable playdough!
