Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka's adorable twins are known for their impeccable style, and it turns out they've got some high-end palates to boot. Remember the series in which little kids were taken to fancy restaurants to review the food and they said things like "this fish tastes like fish"? NPH's kids would probably be disgusted by those children.

In an interview with The New Potato, Burtka revealed that Harper and Gideon, both 4, are budding foodies.

"My kids are crazy eaters. They have incredible palates," he told the website. Burtka, an actor and chef, added that the family eats clams and mussels "at least once a week."

It turns out the couple's son and daughter embrace foods that many kids would try and feed to the dog. (Lucky dog!)

"Gideon eats everything you put in front of him. His passion for cooking and eating good food is in his soul. His favorite foods: Clams, sushi, octopus, grilled pork, steak, Parmesan cheese, ginger, mint, cinnamon and coconut," Burtka said.

For her part, "
Harper likes very strong and briny flavors. Some of her favorites: Oysters, sardines, prosciutto, capers, duck liver, miso, and anything chocolate."

Just last month, Harris dubbed the discerning duo "fashionis-tots," sharing a photo of the photogenic children modeling some stylish outfits.

And since not all kids are as adventurous when it comes to trying new cuisines, check out Padma Lakshmi's advice for parenting picky eaters. Though we're more than happy not to share our oysters with the little ones (more for us)!
