[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gosh this reminds me of my DH. He will also say "I'm easy," and says he will "happily eat anything."

Except he won't like it if there are mushrooms. And olives -- no olives. And anything "spicy." Even pickled jalapenos on nachos is too "spicy" for him. And "soup" (yes literally any soup -- except for French onion, he likes that one). And he won't eat carrots if they are cooked. Although he will eat a steak (orders a ribeye if we are at Capitol Grille or something), he will complain the whole time that he prefers "a hamburger." There's more that I'm forgetting. [/quote]

So let him get his own food, or tell him to not eat the jalapeños. I wouldn't have any patience for adults who act like babies. [/quote]

Well, generally he does get his own food or pick off the jalapenos. I don't cook that much. But there are only two of us, and I don't really feel like cooking something elaborate if he isn't going to eat it because it has mushrooms or whatever. Which can be frustrating when I see a recipe in the NYT that looks good. And I don't really feel like spending hundreds at Morton's for Valentine's Day if he doesn't like steak, but then there's a big think about where else to go.

I think some of you are not getting how it can be frustrating to deal with people who are picky eaters, but don't own up to it. [/quote]

NP. I get it—my Dad is practically a toddler. But after I dropped the rope, we’re all happier during visits, even if he’s eating PBJ while the rest of us enjoy risotto.[/quote]
