When the Sita asked for syrup, we were confused. We weren't having waffles. Or pancakes. Or anything that syrup would taste remotely good on. But she kept asking for it.
Finally, she opened up the refrigerator and got out the bottle of Newman's Own Balsamic Vinaigrette, brought it to the Spozo and asked for some of this "syrup" on her plate. To dip her broccoli in (along with everything else on her plate)!
We have known of her obsession with Balsamic Vinaigrette for awhile now. The first time we ever let her try it, we soon discovered that she liked drinking it straight and it was with difficulty that we coaxed her into dipping things (very absorbent things - like bread and broccoli!) into it and then eating it.
We're thinking pickle juice might be something she'd love - as she loves pickles, olives, hummus and Trader Joe's Marinated Bean Salad (canned). Does anyone have any other suggestions of other briny things she might enjoy? (The more calories, the better!)

Wow, that's wild that she likes the stronger tastes! At least she's not asking for sugar!
My little guy needed stronger tastes, but for different reasons. A bit of lemon juice or hot sauce on the tongue helped shock his mouth into better pronunciation. Yeah, it was actually a speech therapy technique.
But for the briney tastes... what about salad dressings? Would that possibly help her eat more leafy greens? I just got a bottle of San-J Tamari Peanut Asian Dressing that is *divine* and really strong. From Monterey Market. Cucumber slices soaked in a vinegary dressing? Pasta with a strong dressing? Like those summer salad recipes, generally the twirly pasta, olives, red & green onions, thin sliced salami, brocolli, etc tossed with a vinaigrette?
Vinaigrette's are fun to make... maybe her some of the core ingredients and let her do a few chemistry / cooking experiments a la Alton Brown to see which flavors she likes best?
