My mom made all our babyfood using nothing but a food mill (about $5 max at a yard sale, easier to clean than a blender). Actually, with my sister she just mashed up whatever she was eating (that was appropriate for a baby) and fed it to her that way. I think this is partly why my sister is basically the most adventurous eater on the planet.
That contraption looks cool, but it also looks like yet another piece of electric STUFF in a kitchen, and one more thing to think about, and clean, and put away, and all that. I'm cranky and old-fashioned and anti-gadget lately, so I'm going to just use the food mill or just mash it up really well with a fork.
My partner and I would do the "just mash up what we're eating" thing, too.
My oldest WAS an adventurous eater until he hit around 18 months: since then (he's 6 now) he's picky like no one's business. Us eating stuff no longer convinces him it's worth trying. :(

*hee* my kidlet's first restaurant food was mee krob from my favorite thai place...then from about 5 to age 9 everything that could be construed as adventuresome was apparently poison... luckily we are swinging back the other way now ; )
