Wordless Wednesday – What’s That?!
What is this pepper you speak of? I do not trust it!
I am suspicious of new food! Are you?

Hutch A Good Life 
I’m rather picky about food and always have been….but that pepper looks nice and fresh and crunchy Nacho – give it a go!
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
After five minutes I caved and gave it a nibble but I’m not sure about it. Think I’ll stick to spinach and carrots!

Nacho I will try anything..after I have given it a good sniff of course 😉 enjoy your pepper the red ones have more vit c than oranges ..very good for you ..
Big hugs Fozziemum xx
Hmmm the hoomans were very keen that I should try it! But I am a suspicious piggy!
Nacho

Best be wary indeed..you never know what hoomans think is delish! it just may not suit a piggies taste..perhaps you are just Nacho the Discerning 😉
Hugs Fozziemum xxxx
I eat first and ask questions later.
Love and head-licks,
Cupcake
Not even a little sniff? What if it’s poisoned?!
Nacho
xxxx
I have eaten poison! It wasn’t fun.
Really?! Omigosh!? What sort of poison? Are you ok!?

I stole one of Mom’s pills from the table before she learned how important it is to push in her chair when she gets up. She called ASPCA Poison Control and INDUCED VOMITING! I don’t know who was more traumatized me or her!!! Yuck.
Golly. That’s very scary. Whee are so glad you are ok!
xxxx
Cute picture, Nacho! So…..did you try it???
After 5 minutes of coaxing I took a small nibble but I wasn’t too keen on it. The hoomans did put some in the cage later and it was eaten. But they don’t know if it was me or Nutty, or both of us!

Sometimes it takes food being in another pig’s mouth to make it most desirable.
Hmmm I do steal food from Nutty’s mouth a lot! Maybe that’s it! He somehow improves the flavour!
Nacho

You didn’t even know you wanted it until he had it. I forgot to put it in my other comment — this is a really cute photo little guy. 🙂
It looks good to me, I’d give it a go 🙂
I did after a little while but it wasn’t great. I still prefer my spinach or curly kale!
Nacho

I’m only suspicious if my stomach feels bad later.
I don’t want my tummy to feel bad so I plan ahead! Not taking any chances here! ^_^
Happy Wednesday

Hope it is not a jalepeno pepper!
Nope, red bell pepper. Though I didn’t really like it!
Nacho

I’m always suspicious of new food… Boomer and Dottie not so much… I hope you liked it!
Not really. It’s one of those things I’ll eat if the hoomans can’t find anything else in the fridge but I’d rather have spinach or carrots! ^_^
Nacho

Me too .. How was it? Love your mom’s yellow lime nail polish. Happy BlogPaws WW. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
Hehehe Mummy is always changing her nail polish. The orange one looked tasty!!
I did really like the pepper but I did try it eventually!
Nacho

oh me too, terribly picky…but those red peppers are homy
Whee aren’t picky . . . whee just know what whee like 😛
Nacho

Aww Nacho! I am suspicious of new food and I am a human. An old human. New foods are not to be trusted. Tried eventually but not trusted.. 😀
Exactly. Whee will try but never trust!
Happy Wednesday
Nacho

Me too Nacho – since I ate this free sample with wings :o)
Hehehe
Happy Wednesday!
Nacho

Oh my! Your have the cutest lil nose! Bet you love it – give it a go.
I tried it . . . eventually! It was ok but I think I’ll stick to my spinach ^_^
Happy Wednesday

The first tine Eleanor had red pepper, she buried it in the FAR corner and gave me very suspicious looks. Eventually she learned to like them.
The consensus was as follows…
Wentworth: I am suspicious of new foods, but my mom super-duper loves me, so I know it’s okay.
Annie: If you’re giving away food, I’ll take it. Some other pig has been trying to steal my food forever. If they don’t want to eat it, more for me. Like Wentworth said, our mom super duper lives us, so it’s fine.
Harville: Wait, where’s the food? I like food? Do you have food? Did you want to share your food? I could eat it for you if you thought eating it might be too hard. Let me know.
Frederick: I am always the first one to try something new. My fur grows in a mohawk on my head, it”s an outward sign of the deeper truth that I have always been a pig to do my own thing.
Benwick: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…
Sophie: Hi! I’m Sophie! I like new things. I have three brothers, two very much always bigger than me. Gotta try new things before they eat it all up. fMy mama too, she doesn’t wait AT ALL — if I don’t be a brave girl, she’ll eat everything without apology.
Well it sounds like it’s fun at dinner time in your hutches!! Hehehe. Sophie you sound like my sort of ladypig. All the other piggies here are bigger than me too! Maybe I just need to man up!

That’s such an adorable photo! Love it!
Thank you. You can see the suspicion in my eyes! Hehehe

Nacho,
We have picked up peppers off the floor while serving as sous chefs for mom. They weren’t that bad. However, we don’t blame you for being skeptical!
Bella and DiDi
They do look rather odd don’t they! And they made the hoomans hands smell funny for ages!
Nacho

I love all food-new or familiar. The only thing I wouldn’t eat is a pepper from His garden. I’m surprised that the fire department hasn’t shut that pepper garden down.
Is that a hot pepper then?! Some of us like our bell peppers but I am a fussy little piggy with different tastes!
Nacho
xxxx
It’s good to be suspicious – that’s how you survived in wild 😉 trust this human though as she would NEVER give you anything that isn’t good for you and tastes delicious 😀
Hmmm it tasted ok but I am suspicious of most things unless I see Nutty eating them first! If he doesn’t get poisoned they must be safe!
Nacho

Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog! Love the name of yours!
Happy WW!
Hehhehe Thanks. Happy Wordless Wednesday to you too!

Oh little nacho its okay. My kitten boo loves to get his nose and paws into new stuff.
Whee bet he likes trying new things. I take the, if-Nutty-is-eating-it-it-is-probably-ok approach!
Nacho

It’s a strawberry!!! I might get to try new foods soon! Mom is going to try and have me go mainstream with my cat food because we don’t think my allergies are caused by food! YAY! My Sheltie brother will eat ANYTHING!
It’s actually a little chunk of red bell pepper. I have tried strawberry tops before and they were pretty tasty!
Nacho

I’ll give practically anything a try. If you don’t like something, you can always spit it out and the humans will pick it up. 🙂
Good point. I did that with tomato. I chewed happily for a few seconds then decided I didn’t like it and deposited it down Mummy’s white dress! ^_^
Hehehe Naughty me!

Did you like it?? Rita is SO fussy. You’d think a dog who was formerly living on the mean streets would accept any food offering, but nope. She sniffs everything I offer her with great suspicion, and if it doesn’t smell like something she’s interested in, she won’t even give it a try!
I did take a nibble eventually but didn’t finish it. It wasn’t till I saw Nutty having some I stole a bit from his mouth and decided it wasn’t so bad!
Nacho

I will go after ANY human food. Mom gets annoyed when I’m fussy with my own dog food though. I’m not a great morning eater, I guess. I LOVE red peppers! Good stuff!
The hoomans like getting us to try new things. Some whee like, some whee don’t! I’m just a little bit fussy!

Alfalfa says don’t trust any red fruit or veggies.
Well I didn’t like tomatoes but I did like strawberry tops, but I guess they were green, so maybe red foods are the problems. Unless it’s apple. I like apple. Mmmmm
I’m hungry now! ^_^
Nacho

Apples come in green and yellow too! So, stay away from the red ones! – Alfalfa
Nacho, Motu baby is just like you… i’ve tried giving him mango, banana, guava, mint leaves, egg plant, apple but all he loves eating is cucumber (number one on his food chart), carrot, and bread (i know it’s not on your food chart but he has to have bread at 3am.. nothing else will do…), and grass i am eagerly waiting for him to try cabbage, kale (looking for it in the markets), spinach… *fingerscrossed*… like you he will snif it and in some cases he will just turn his face away from the food and refuse to even look at it… i try not to push him but i just want him to eat healthy food…. having said all that i agree with you Nacho about being very careful than being sorry later!
Motu baby’s wednesday was great… he cuddled with me ofcourse just because he knew i hid the food inside the blanket 🙂

Awww Motu, some new foods are nommy. The best herb to try is curled parsley. Mummy has never met a guinea pig that didn’t like it and now she grows it herself so whee are never without that precious treat! Mint leaves are something whee love or hate. Small pieces of orange or chunks of celery can be good things to try and small quantities of broccoli go down well here.
Hopefully he discovers some other foods he likes!

I’m suspicious too sometimes, but not if it’s fish! Woooowooooo! Nice to meet you! Ku
Nice to meet you too! Whee think it’s good to be suspicious sometimes!
Nacho
xxxx
I’m like that to but then when I have the nommy again I gobble it up,xx SPeedy
I did the exact same thing today. The hoomans were baffled. They offered me a little piece of pepper and I snatched it and ate it super fast. I’ve learnt that I do like it now!
Nacho

Twiggy is with you. New food = suspicious. Onyx, on the other paw, will eat anything. Anything! 🙂
Well I actually did quite like pepper the second time I tried it so maybe it’s something I needed to get used to!
Nacho

Me iz bery discernin too Nacho…n sniff eberyfing carefully befur eatin it. Wif da Bowel Disease me haz a purrty strict diet now so me not havin to sniff weird food 😉
Happy snackin!!
Lub Nylablue xo
Well I finally decided I didn’t completely hate it when I stole some from Nutty’s mouth. For some reason it was tastier when he wanted it ^_^
Nacho
xxxx
It alwayz tastez bettur when sumone else iz enjoyin da snack!!! MOL/SOL…. 😉
Nylablue
Pee Ess: me n Mum did not nise ya cuud eat pepperz!!!
Yup. Whee loves nommy red bell peppers!

Henry and Oscar are absolute fuss pots, but Archie will eat anything LOL
Usually whee are cautious to start with then like most things.
xxxx

Maybe whee should be suspicious of all things red!
