    Ah right,he wont even have veg on his plate,trust me he is a nitemare as we want the meal to look half decent,he dont like certain textures in his mouth.when i met him it was like cooking for a child.he wont even have gravy.at home it is easier but when your trying to put a meal together for a special day it becomes hard work,sausage,mash and beans on your wedding day just doesnt do it lol we have asked her to see about a chicken breast fillet,he wont eat it any other way and on a bed of pasta,something like that.have u ever heard anything like it :o :rotfl:

    That sound like me, although I have improved over the last few years. We just discussed with our caterer what I do actually like and he worked with that, having chicken wrapped in bacon served as a main with veg not disimilar to sunday lunch

    See he would eat chicken wrapped in bacon but without the veg
  • Can you ask the venue to just not give him veg?

    I always feel very sad for people who enjoy so little food :(

    We had a blast at our food tasting, tried loads of different things - and it really helped us to make our choices...But I guess if you know what you're having already it's more just about checking the quality, taste etc - but still worth doing. No idea if ours was in the contract or not, but didn't pay for it, anyway.

    (and wouldn't have paid for it...I don't know why people part with money before they've tried the food!)

    I blame his mum for never making him eat properly.it is very hard work its not so bad at home as we do eat good meals as a family but if it was upto OH he would eat pizza and chips everyday! i will only allow what i class as junk food (pizza,chips etc) off a weekend.amazes me how he used to eat terrible before we met and was so slim.suppose his job works for him as he is always on his feet.

    yes we will definetly want to try the meal before the big day make sure its upto standard,hoping she gets back to me today
