Are there any foods you have to sacrifice because DH doesnt like it? I loooove Indian and Thai food but DH wont eat it. i also sacrifice making beans at home because they will just go to waste since he doesnt eat those either. I, on the other hand eat everything under the sun so DH doesnt have to sacrifice anything

Pasta and bagles. I always order pasta when we go out b/c it will go to waste if I make it. Bales are ok b/c we live upstate and they suck up here!

I loved mashed potatos from scatch and DH hates it. Any type of potato is basically scatched from my household.

ETA: I love potato salad

I love Fish and seafood and DH just hates it. The only fish he'll eat is canned tuna and it has to be the white albacore tuna.

Re: Q of the D about Food Part Deux

I can't make alot of things that I would like to, like eggplant parmesan which is one of my favorites to make. I also love to eat a lot of grilled veggies, and regular veggies. DH could eat pb&j everyday until he dies and be satisfied lol

It's not so much that I have to sacrifice things, it's just that it makes it harder for me. If I wanted to go to an Indian restaurant, he wouldn't want to go so I have to find something else to eat if we go out ya know??

Yup! I know exactly what you mean. When we go out its mainly where he wants to go because he is the picky one.

Re: Q of the D about Food Part Deux

No..we both eat everything and anything

Re: Q of the D about Food Part Deux

No, we pretty much like the same things luckily except for deer meat! He knows I won't eat it but still keeps asking me to taste it...ha! There are a few pasta dishes I like that my mother made growing up that he doesn't really care for... he'd eat it but I usually just make it for myself when he's away then.

Re: Q of the D about Food Part Deux

dh doesn't eat ANY seafood and it KILLS me! he actually tried popcorn shrimp once(like it counts lol) and really liked it...and he'll also eat fried calamari(yes..he wont eat ANY seafood but he'll eat deepfried squid )...i'm convinced that he's just stubborn and would really like it if he gave it a chance. but he just WON'T. wont even bite it to try if we're out to eat or something. he's a plain guy when it comes to food anyway...i could have a huge extravagant meal on the menu & he'd rather have mac & cheese or steak & a baked potato better than being particular i guess lol. BUT i miss fish & any/all seafood!! i am a huge seafood lover & i feel like i have something major missing from my diet my mom always tells me to just make some for me, but i hate cooking two separate meals..it's just easier to make ONE dinner.. lol i remember one night i even made a HUGE paella and dh picked out every single shrimp.lol. oh well.

Re: Q of the D about Food Part Deux

Dh despises mayo, sour cream, milk, anything white. So I cant ever make anything with those ingredients like alfredo sauce.

Also DH is weird about chicken in his pasta

LOL Taryn your DH sounds like me! Except I won't even eat the popcorn shrimp! The only fish or seafood I eat is tuna fish AND fried calamari! LOL! DH eats everything and anything so he tends to order seafood or fish when we're out since I don't make it at home. HE could make it, but he doesn't choose to do so

Re: Q of the D about Food Part Deux

eggplant. you have NO idea how much I miss it. He hates it. And I used to cook it constantly. the sicilian in meal is in total eggplant withdrawal and I request it whenever i go to my parents for dinner.

He also doesn't like Mac and Cheese, and most healthy vegetables (which he denies, but he wouldn't eat beans unless they are mex or spanish style). And he hates soup. Otherwise he eats most anything.

Re: Q of the D about Food Part Deux

A LOT! DH doesn’t like:
Thai
Chinese (he lets me get it every once in a while…and he suffers through something he doesn’t really like)
Vegetables (he’s learning, but still refuses to eat salad, broccoli, peas, and many more)
Soup for dinner (it’s not enough, even with grilled cheese)
Cous Cous (he hates it for some reason…I like it and it’s so easy!)
Eggplant

DH also doesn’t like anything in his chocolate (he hates PB, caramel, butterscotch, etc….and hates them all in cookie form as well!)

I mean obviously I can still make this stuff but it’s just not worth it if it’s just me eating it and to have to make something else for him!

Re: Q of the D about Food Part Deux

Yes, pretty much any type of rice. He only likes white rice. Also, mashed potatoes and gravy. But I still make them, just means more for me!

Re: Q of the D about Food Part Deux

Re: Q of the D about Food Part Deux

Unfortunately ALOT!!

DH doesn't eat fish or ham so I only get it when we are out.
He doesn't eat most veggies and fruits so I buy them less often b/c I dont want them to go bad.

Re: Q of the D about Food Part Deux

Yes, but they are mostly bad things that i'm not supposed to eat.

He wont eat homemade mac and cheese (or any mac and cheese for that matter, but i like the homemade). Same w/ ziti or lasagna. He will eat penne ala vodka though. He wont eat meatloaf, but will eat meatballs...weird.

He caught me putting parm cheese in my sauce once and was SO upset and told me he could never trust me again I still put it in but I'm better at sneaking it and he doesnt know.

He basically doesnt like cheese, but he will eat quesadillas and nachos at a restaurant. or a leftover chicken parm hero of mine
