I'll start. Won't eat steak unless it's 'well done'.

Wrong, on so many levels.

My o/h spends ages choosing from the menu, literally ages, and the waiter keeps coming back only to be sent away again.

She has no problems with food as such, but it's annoying anyway. Bless her.

Can I have more than one?

I don't eat prawns as they are scavengers.

I don't like the texture of beef.

Mum's cooking pasta with 'olive oil'

I don't eat meat off the bone

and, she fell out with me serving her veal when we first met. Although I did say it was a pork escalope.

"Can I have some tomato ketchup please?"
With EVERYTHING and anything. Never dared take her to a decent restaurant in case she did that.

Well, that's instant dumpsville straight off, surely?

"I dont like spicy food or meat in a sauce"

I have been making inroads however and she will now eat Korma / Pasanda etc. working up to a tikka masala but its been quite a slog so far.

+1 for 'don't like spicy food'

the ex. had not eaten many curries, we had lunch in wagamama's quite early on and she couldn't finish her meal, which wasn't exactly spicy. the thai / passanda route is the way to go, she ended up enjoying most things this side of a madras.

i'm not fussed if they don't like certain foods as long as they are prepared to at least try something once. if they don't like it after then fine [i'm talking food here guys!]. i find things like liking well done steak is inherited from parents and is easily converted.

the ex. had a fear of beans, you couldn't even say the words 'baked beans' to her without a hissy fit. every time we stayed in a hotel i had to brief the breakfast waitress what would happen if she even saw so much as a single baked bean and of course i couldn't eat them myself. i'd give anything to know the reason behind that!

the one before here had a similar reaction to cheese, although she at least didn't mind me eating it. bizarre!

i've never had the misfortune to be in a realtionship with a veggie, she would need to be an absolute stunner to warrant that level of aggrevation.

Tip.

If you EVER hear this run, run, run away.

It is a MASSIVE pain in the arse.

In fact it would be significantly easier to live with an Hacidic Jew.

At least then I'd have two bloody kitchens.

I once dumped a guy because he would not eat "foregin" food

Serious, he would only eat meat & veg.

Not pasta, not rice, not any type of sauces; not even omlette!!

my brother in law is like that ali, going for family meals to restaurants can be quite amusing for me.

my dad used to dislike rice & pasta but was cured by spending 4mths each with work in xingdao and udinese.

thinking about it, i would have a problem if an OH disliked sushi, as i eat it every chance i get.

Mine too Paul.

It's the same when ordering a drink at the bar too.

Unfortunately I was that person until I met my lass 6 years ago. She really opened my eyes to the joys of proper food. All her uncles (and father) were/are butchers so I suppose it's only natural.

Once upon a time, steak tartar would have put the fear of god into me, now though, it's one of my favourite dishes. Similarly with my brethren. Garlic butter mmmmmm.

Andoulette is another battle that i've fought and won. Happy days.
