If you know someone really doesnt like or cant eat some foods, and then you make a big thing out of cooking them dinner, you shouldnt make a meal where 2 of the (very few) things they dont like form the main part of the ingredients?
I dont like peppers and cant eat onions as a) I dont like them and b) they aggravate my IBS. So H is making a meal tonight (the last time he cooked was over 2 years ago!) which is chicken with peppers and onions. Its from a cook book I bought him for Xmas (subtle ) and he says he is doing that because he wants to try it. Thats fine, but why not cook it for himself and freeze a couple of portions? Why cook it for both of us when I will have to leave a lot of it and he will no doubt sulk.
I havent said what I think, which is if you are making a big thing out of cooking a special meal for someone, you should try and cook what they like and what they can eat? I wouldnt cook say chicken in cream sauce for someone with a dairy intolerance!
Or AIBU and should just be grateful that he is cooking at all?
