Does he eat owt really weird?

Does he have a sophisticated palette? Can he define what type of fish he's eating?

I'm sorry to hear its tough for your oh too.

we don't watch that stuff either. would you, if you had it going on here? its like seeing th chickens if they get a mouse/sloworm off the cats..

and yet, you know he will not touch, or let me cook while he's in the house, a pasta bake.

That is probably because, like all good Italians, it would not be <come mamma o nonna ha fatto>

He gets very upset and starts muttering in Tuscan about it. Or canned soup, or anything like that....but a nibble of layers pellet or a finger in sugr beet pulp....een grass I've caught him trying. In summer one of my clients asked why he had a yellow face all the time, and I had to tell them its becuse he can't walk through the field and not eat dandelions, but he gets the yellow all over him. They thought I was joking:o

Ooops. :rotfl:

he can tell what fish he's eting, and he certainly likes t think his pallatee is sophisticated...as I say IMO he's more gourmand than gourmet

Ooops. :rotfl:

what's especially odd is....they didn't really cook. He was brn to higher things and his grandparents had staff, and his parents ate at restaurants and the nannies fed the junk...so they had a weird diet of the best restaurant food and findus pancakes (with an italian accent). but they travelled A LOT and so there was always new stuff to try in new places. when dh and I frst decided not to spend christmas with his family they were horrified because noone else had ever cooked since his mother died...and her cooking was really basic.

dh is also, thank goodness, a pretty good cook...and bakes superb bread..much better than mine.

We have elderly neighbours that love food - talk food , but they are both not keeping that great now & can't eat, nor drink as they did & it's like a light has beenswitched off.

He was a gamekeeper & she was a cook at the big hoose. They should have been on the telly. He smoked all his own stuff - meat, fish even cheese. Made all his own bread, sausages, Parma ham etc.

I've neevr tasted ice cream such as she made, nor scones or shortbread, cake, pastries etc. He knew his meat like no one I've met and my Uncle was a butcher who had his own herd.

It's genetic. Not necessarily that the cooking will be good but that it will be right
