DH complains about SC food!

Cooking chips every day till he gets sick of them sounds like a good idea but "he is a man" - it could take years!

Elona - you are *so* right :rotfl: I would end up cooking chips everyday for the forseeable future!

Thank you everyone for some great ideas and the smiles I've had reading this thread.

I just bought a slow cooker and DH groaned about another gadget. He just saw a gammon joint cooking in the SC and said "is that just a random piece of meat thrown into some water" !
I'm glad I read this thread, it's not just my DH after all

You could always threaten him with a vegetarian diet.

VfM (and militant vege).

Ugh ... men are terrible baby's sometimes.

My hubby was a spoilt brat bought up on junk food, when i met him he wouldn't eat half the things i cooked, he didn't "DO" veg, he didn't "DO" funny food (ie anything that wasn't out of a packet) he'd litterally been bought up on burgers and beans. For a while he protested, pushed veg around his plate complained about everthing i cooked.

However i had 2 attidudes to food, 1) if i cook it and you don't eat it ill be VERY UPSET!!!!! 2) or you can cook for yourself!!!

Soon enough he strangly stopped complaining.

don't baby him if he doens't like it tell him to cook his own dinner.

I have a slow cooker but don`t like the food cooked in it. My slow cooker is gathering dust. I cook with a pressure cooker, remoska etc and the food tastes lovely. Slow cooked food tastes all the same ie boring and `stewed`

Mine doesn't like stew either. I did have a slow cooker for a few weeks till the handle fell off. To tell you the truth I wasn't very impressed with it. My oh likes only separate recognizable items on his plate including chips every day. And yes he does cook his own. The rest of us have chips about once a week. And what annoys me is that he is skinny and I definately am not. He doesn't even like real chips made from potatoes only frozen ones.

When I'm not on a diet I'll cook a few roast potatoes with a meal.

A long time ago, a friend of mine used to make diet roast spuds by cooking them in a little bit of water first that contained a whole stock cube.

She then put them on a non-stick tray and sprayed them with oil, then roasted them on high.

Might be worth a try?

Thanks all. He did actually eat the polynesian pork and his comment was "it's OK", then again he couldn't very well come out with "it's nice" after making such a fuss earlier :rotfl:
I've tried the "like it or lump it" approach in the past, but his answer is then to go out for a takeaway, which makes me mad because we're trying to cut back.

I think we have husband twins. Mines was the same, and still a bit faddy after 7 years. His mum had a "if you don't like it don't eat it then" approach, whereas mines had a "eat it or go hungry" approach. Both have thier downfalls I suppose.

He is getting better and will now eat chicken legs ( I marinated chicken thighs in yoghurt and spices and made them like chicken tikka, I purposely only bought thighs as they were cheaper and marinated better) he now prefers them.

Likewise I've developed a like it or lump it approach. I will make the meal as best I can to his specs (no hard veg, no veg, no onion) but sometimes its just not good enough for him. Times like this, he knows where the toaster is.

Oh Jack92, sounds like you are on an uphill struggle. You sound very underappreciated.

you should give him a 'cooking challenge' where he has to prepare the evening meal for a week and see how he gets on!lol

I'm with PenPin & kscour, don't like it then starve! Good Luck!
