Oh man I missed this thread, I'm an expert at this topic. They both don't like the same foods, so dinner time is realy rough time, in turn causing a void in the marriage. It's all about food....

The way to a man's heart is through his stomach ladies. Remember this... LOL!

I've planned in advance...while 'tis true I myself and of the VEGAN sort, I am totally flexable* and have no intention of imposing my dietary practices on my better half =P

*I'll cook it 4 him but, I won't eat the MEAT ;)

I wonder how many other sisters are like this. I've tended to shy away from vegetarian (and especially vegan) sisters for just that reason.

I think we need to take a poll on this: How many of you sisters out there would cook something for your husband/boyfriend that you personally would not eat? Maybe even something you find repugnant?

web-toedchloe web-toedchloeOG 2001

Haha - not me! I buy Donovan some foods that he likes that I think are disgusting, like potato bread. But he eats better with me making culinary choices for him. If given the choice, would you want a sandwich or lamb stew for lunch?

I guess it would depend on the sandwich...

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

what exactly IS patato bread anyway?

D
dgiaimoOG 2003

It's one of the most wonderful inventions known to man. It's bread made from potatoes.

Haha just had this mental image come to mind... after darth potato slices up storm trooper potato... he makes a sandwich. :-)

Your sense of humor is so refreshing,LOL!

Lamb stew. I'm totally willing to let a girl decide what I eat, and I'm sure I'd eat much better that way, but I don't want someone trying to force vegetarianism on me.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

I agree. Whenever someone asks me what I want to eat I get kind of annoyed. With most of my friends I tend to make the decisions, but when it comes to eating out I always delegate. I don't care what I eat. I'm like a garbage disposal. I'll eat anything. If I ever get married I'll certainly look forward to the missus surprising me and making me whatever she feels like making.

iwz iwz

it is so nice having a wife that loves to make food for you :)

i always enjoy the surprise too of opening my lunch bag at work.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

that's awesome. does she include lil notes?

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

wow, your wife makes you lunch too? i tried that for austin for awhile, but i can never think of what to make, so instead of eating a sandwhich everyday, i think he's happier going out to eat lunch.

iwz iwz

yeah, she always makes me lunch. it's SOO much cheaper. that's the main thing, really. plus, she tells me that she loves making lunch for me. i guess she's just too in love. awwww

favorite thing: she puts the lettuce in a separate baggie so my sandwich doesn't get soggy. \m/

originalsnob originalsnobOG 2004 iwz

Awww SHUT UP w/ that, sooo sweet.

dgiaimoOG 2003

I'm the same way. Unfortunately, because so many of my friends are married, unless I take the lead in suggesting places to go after the meetings or after service we all just end up going home which kinda stinks for me.

theremin thereminOG 2002

Lamb stew would obviously be my choice for eating. No idea what to think of Potato bread, never heard of the idea, and subsequently never had it. Altho, I wouldn't object to having rarebit. That's a bread-dish.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

i hate meatballs but i sometimes make them for chris, because i'll pretty much do anything for him, :)

it's been a while actually, hey chris do you want meatballs?

beachbum beachbumOG 2002

I've cooked andrew stuff he likes that I don't. Also having food restrictions sometimes I cook him stuff with regular ingredients and then cook for me with special ingredients. but he's learning that special ingredients aren't much different tasting than regular ones.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

no problem doing this. i've cleaned calamari for my dad and it makes me want to yak. i can't picture anything else grossing me out more than that.

D
dgiaimoOG 2003

It's funny you mention calamari here. My mom used to tell me this story about how her grandmother used to cook calamari for her grandfather. Apparently she hated the smell so much that she would be holding her nose, facing away from the pot while she stirred it.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

i wear rubber gloves and put a clothespin on my nose. so glad i moved out!

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

i would def do that. i'm not a dinner person and watch what i eat but just because thats MY way of eating, doesnt mean my man has to ya know.

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

yea, i've cooked lots of things, that i dislike, but austin likes. i know if he could cook he'd do the same for me. :)

reaf reafOG 2002

I cook things for brandon all time that i wont eat. Like i hate Veal, pork loin, antipasto, and a few other things. I don't want him to miss out on foods just cause i dont like them and goodness knows i am picky. lol. I don;t like cheese but if i cut cheese out that'd would be a crime so i am told.

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

YOU DON'T LIKE CHEESE!? cheese, is like, the best thing, ever! i've never met anyone that doesnt like SOME kind of cheesey goodness...(well except dan, but i'm pretty sure he still eats soy cheese)

superhero superheroOG 2004

yeah i eat it, it's not that good

right now i'm all into goat cheese

so hot right now

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

i like goat cheese too, and i agree, that it is as you say "so hot right now" hhaha...all the cooking shows are featuring goat cheese!

web-toedchloe web-toedchloeOG 2001

I don't really like cheese that much either - I'll eat a little fresh mozzarella and of course grated parm and pecorino, but that's about it. Donovan loves it because if we order the same thing at a restaurant, he'll always get my cheese, which gives him double! I even give him the cheese off my pizza.

B
brothermanOG 2004

My son rips the cheese off pizza too.

theremin thereminOG 2002

Doesn't even just the cooking of it, go against veganhood?
