I was going to just post 'how mean'....but then I thought it's OU and he may genuinely not have noticed my spelling mistake (twice). So yes it was a panini (which is bread toasted). I love broccoli but I just would not serve it in a panini or with chips.

Oh Dear
this is the nonsense that your poor kids will be sprouting due to due much broccoli. I bet you don't serve fish , chips & broccoli when they friends round for tea?

My son's friends mostly don't eat ANY VEGETABLES AT ALL, tbf (except for the one who's a veggie, obv - although I made them mushroom vol-au-vent type things....and he *just* doesn't like MUSHROOMS 
) so I generally don't bother stressing them out by adding them to the plate in the first place 
(one of his friends couldn't even cope with a frozen chicken burger, exactly like one he'd eat at home, just cos it wasn't HIS OWN MUM who cooked it hehe ).
But otherwise, yes. Yes, I would!
I've found through years of trial and error that pasta with tomato sauce seems to be the safest bet, ftr
(although you must remember to check whether they like CHEESE on it 
).

how do you cope with kids being weird about food? my nephew only seems to like 3 different meals and he won't eat any of them without ketchup. i'm worried that it's too late already and he's gonna grow up a weirdly fussy eater.

My son was always great but my daughter was quite fussy - especially about slightly gloopy textured things like soup and mash but she's got MUCH better (and fairly recently, too - she's six now, btw) and that was just by encouraging her to KEEP trying things....just making the point that she might STILL not like them, but that there again she might (and I told her about all the various things I hated when I was little - spinach and cabbage for eg) and that then it would be a shame if she hadn't discovered that she did like them NOW after all!
And really, *really* trying not to make a big deal out of it on the occasions where she just seemed not to like ANYTHING AT ALL (quite frustrating, tbf, especially when it was stuff she USED to wolf down! ) but equally being sort of *low level* encouraging when she did....
I've also sometimes been genuinely impressed by some of the things they like (olives for eg) that are quite *grown up* foods...and they seem to react quite well to that.
Hopefully, if you just keep casually giving him the *opportunity* to keep trying things, he'll start being braver...and once he is it's much easier because you have real examples to remind him of the NEXT time he tries something new.
Often on here people say shit about how they'd never, EVER cook two separate meals for their kids, too (yeah, right )...but even that's quite helpful...my daughter would be much more likely to try stuff that I've made for myself (from MY plate) than if I was to present her with her own plate of it, iyswim....

I didn't eat raw tomatoes until I was around 18. Love the things now. Same with loads of different stuff. I think this is fairly common.

One of the best things I eat when I have an attack of the munchies is beef mince, OXO cube and a teeny bit of water added once it's brown then a tin of baked beans chucked in. Perfect with potato croquettes
EDIT:
Bangers and mash was delicious. No messing around. Plate of creamy mash topped with Cumberland's and onion gravy.
