I think he wants to be a pizza-tarian
A real (but embellished) problem currently in my household:
Child: What's for dinner mommy? (eats a snow pea)
Me: Chicken
Child: Ew! I dont like meat! (eats a cherry tomato)
Me: Ok, I can rock the vegetarian thing. Would you like a lentil burger instead?
Child: No, I dont like lentils. (eats a carrot)
Me: I have tofu
Child: I dont like tofu (eats a red pepper)
Me: The next time I go shopping, I can get some big portobello mushrooms for you. You could have that.
Child: I dont like mushrooms. (eats spinach straight from the garden. Dont dare put it on a plate)
Me: Well you have to have some protein. What about if I made quiche? Its like scrambled eggs. They serve it sometimes at school.
Child: No, I don't like the quiche they serve at school. I only like eggs when they are served with a dunky yolk* (eats celery)
Me: Then eat the chicken.
Other people have to play sneaky chef to get their kid to eat the veggies. I have to play sneaky protein.
-----------------------
Dunky eggs/yolk: Fried and you dunk your toast in.
