What weird things do your kids eat?

accreditation
Angelina Jolie has told E! Online that 9-year-old Maddox and 7-year-old Pax love eating insects. They picked up the habit when visiting Cambodia, Maddox's home country. According to the superstar mom they eat them like Doritos. "I had to actually ban the cricket eating at some point, because I was afraid they were gonna get sick from too many," she said. "But they're good—they are like a potato chip."

But the Jolie-Pitt boys are not the only ones who love eating weird things. Sometimes pregnant women experience what is known as Pica. They tend to crave things such as sand, glass, lightbulbs, hair, gravel and cigarette ash to name a few things.

We asked our Facebook fans if their little ones were fans of eating anything weird and a few strange food combinations popped up:


My son likes to hide behind our plants and nibble on the sand. Which I don't like. Lol but besides that he eats healthy and he eats every thing. He is 18 months. And eats anything which I find that weird cos he doesn't have a dislike. - Zayaan Isaacs

My son is 18months and loves having biltong and Olives together. - Chantelle Van der Berg

Bread with peanut butter and Marmite - Despina Kandralidis

My little one loves toilet paper but, it must b the ones with the doggies on - Estelle Fouche

My nephew LOVES to eat dry Weetbix. It's like saw dust but he'll eat 2 right after each other. Very strange. - Robyn Addinall
