My wife HATES onions.  I am an onion Lover!  Whomever cooks gets to decide is the rule.  You get what you get! 

Ive got clients that end up cooking 4 different meals every night because of picky family members.......F THAT!

i do a better job than her at it. besides, she's just happy she doesn't have to do it.

make something that is good to everyone but different from what she would normally eat and ask her to try it.  my ex used to be a real picky eater, but i got her to change by having her try stuff that i liked until she got used to it and i started doing that more often.  when i met her she HATED mexican food and it is my favorite, but by the time we split, she loved it.  when i wanted her to try calamari said "its good and youre gonna have to try it someday, or im just gonna slip it to you and say its something different" and it turns out she loved it.  the only thing i could never get her to eat was sausage.

i have met a few adults who, as kids, were never required to eat anything they did not want or like.
i blame their parents for raising spoiled humans

I still like Jeff's suggestion of a little booze before dinner.  A few glasses of wine while cooking shots of Ouzo would do the trick too

she doens't just drink. if we go out with friends she'll have a drink, but she won't drink with or just before a meal.

i'm just going to stop catering to her in that area. i'm going to make something that i find fun and tasty and if she eats it then she eats it.
i just need to remmebr what i used to make and how to make it before i started cooking for her.


i have the same reaction to milk.

pretty sure you heard it here first

My bro on law never ate a green vegetable until he was 35 and married to my sister.  Their dog enjoyed a very high fiber diet.  I dont get it...

i do to. and i have told her my theoory on it.


she didn't totally agree, but she also didn't get angry.

[Super T.I.B]

Just went through this whole thread and decided that I feel very sorry for her.

I could NOT go through life only eating what she eats.

But please don't say she doesn't eat 

I've just got a phone call from my wife saying she has broken the shower! F*CK!

+100!

Its funny how much parental influence or lack thereof, shapes a person's diet.

Not only is my bro in law a picky eater, he is also a food hoarder, especially sweets.  Someone once gave him a gallon of Vermont Maple syrup for Christmas, he drank the whole gallon within two days.  Dont even get near him if he has some fudge......

Its gotta suck to be the middle of 7 kids....
