If you ever get the chance, make an exception for cold smoked trout.That was excellent herring, btw. I thought of that after I posted. I make exceptions re: herring and salmon.

Well, someone revived this old thread, so I will say that I can't think of any food that I don't like, just those that I prefer more than others. I love to try new foods and will try just about anything, as long as it is a known food....not just something someone decided to serve on a plate. So that eliminates worms, insects, and anything that's still moving. I didn't eat sweet potatoes for the first 60 years of my life but when I was offered one baked...not with all the brown sugar and marshmallows, I found that I love them. So I decided that most foods can be prepared in different ways so that there's some way that I will eat them.
I'll take CWS's sashimi for her.....
I'm lucky, DH usually likes what I cook. If he turns up his nose, he's free to scrounge.
Welcome to DC, Raspberry!
I'm not a fan of sashimi either. I have no problem with eating it. I just find it too bland.It's Sashimi you don't care for...
I love smoked lake trout. I always buy it when I am in MN (unless I'm lucky enough and my cousin drops some of his off).If you ever get the chance, make an exception for cold smoked trout.
I've turned into a real Sashimi junkie...run out and get a couple of pieces and eat them in the car...
If it is frozen on the fishing boat, it's fresher than the stuff brought to port. Ask if it's made from frozen fish. That kills parasites too.Our local HyVee now has a sushi/sashimi bar, have been wanting to try some, but since we're not located anywhere near an ocean, I'm a bit skittish.

Yes, good point. It just seems strange that we in a small town in the Heartland of USA would be getting fresh ocean fish!
Yep, mine won't wear his dentures either. Not yet in a wheelchair but he's angling towards one.
Your grandfather's dentures? Why?My Grandfather only wore his dentures for special occasions like weddings and funerals, even then he took them out to eat.
Now they sit on top of the toilet tank in my bathroom.
Your grandfather's dentures? Why?
Oh, okay. I guess it reminds you of him.Why not?
When he passed away the undertaker asked my Grandmother about them and she told him that she did not want my Grandfather to be uncomfortable for eternity so they went back into the drawer. When my Grandmother died in 1972 I gave them a home.
Some people inherit Grandfather clocks or family silver, I got dentures.
Could it be that hubby is being this picky as a means of expressing his frustration about the loss of control of his life? I'd probably whir everything in a blender and give him a "shake."Well, I'm trying another meal he won't eat tonight. I found some Texas Hash in the freezer. Refreshing it with some fried bacon, onion and a bit of tomato sauce. I love it, but I won't get my hopes up for hubby. ( he didn't even like the KFC that he wanted the other night...). He needs to start a picky eaters anonymous... I hope there's a ring of cold bologna in the frig which I can throw at him just in case!

I'll eat almost anything except liver or raisins. However, my hubby is another story. How does one cook for someone who hates: cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, green beans , dried beans, carrots, olives, sweet potatoes, eggplant, rutabagas, turnips, celery, okra. In short as far as veggies go the only thing he will eat is corn, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms and cucumber. He eats meat, cheese,potatoes, pasta an rice. He hates casseroles. Doesn't matter what I make, he always gives it a suspicious look. I was a vegetarian, so I love spices and veggies. My cooking has become so limited and downright dull. He tells me to cook as I please, but his pickiness takes the joy away. Some days I cook my way and throw him a cold ring of bologna to eat (disgusting, but it is his favorite). Sorry, I'm new here, but this thread rang a big bell.
Thanks. I'm having a terrible navigating these forums and some times I can't find the post button. Doing this all on cell phone as I don't have a computer.
Anyhow, now my picky husband is telling me the meats have been too dry lately. I always add a touch of olive oil to keep meat moist. I have to make sure everything is tender ( he refuses to wear his dentures), which usually means stewed or ground meats. He hates veggies. I'd tell him to cook for himelself but he is in a wheelchair. He used to own a restaurant, but he shakes too much to cook. As he gets older, he has gotten sooooo picky. Good thing our cats aren't! Every time I put his meal in frOnt of him I get a look. I'm about ready to plop the plate on his picky head! I hate picky eaters, they take the joy out of cooking. ***end of rant***
