Bang the Gong!

One of our favorite activities to help our kids and guests try new dishes and foods is to let them bang a gong if they try a new item! I give all the credit to Kelly from Bean Sprouts. We went to one of her kids cooking classes and she suggested this amazing idea. For a long time, we would just use a pot and a wooden spoon but I finally purchased this gong which happens to be from Nepal so it only seemed fitting to bring up this acquired tradition now! Our kids will try lots of new foods just so tihey can bang the gong. Kids can sometimes be picky eaters so this trick works wonders. In our house, a willingness to try is everything in life!
