DH just made me a dinner that he knows I don’t like

Because, with faultless logic, @YourBra ’s dad’s cooking and @YourBra ’s willingness to eat it are the standards by which we all should conduct our lives and, really, there’s no more to be said.

My condolences. Was it related to the stew incident?

I had the same thing happen recently. It’s infuriating and totally disrespectful. To make matters worse my fussy eating DD (now 18 and eats better) stuck up for DH. I completely lost it, pointed out how many dinners I had to cook to cater for her and I should be afforded the same basic respect. It’a been a good since.

Ask him?

@Itsthewoluff your user name..I loved lambsy .

Dh can never remember what the kids like and don’t like. I can’t understand why it never sinks in, but he seems to have a mental block about it. I can see why if he thought you’d had it before at the restaurant.

No excuse but can easily see why it happened.

Exactly. It's not a restaurant, you don't get to choose which dish you'd like from a menu!

Jeez. I couldn’t cope with all this prissy behaviour. Just effing eat what I’ve taken the effort to prepare and put in front of you or don’t eat then go and buy and cook your own and wash up after or starve.

Honestly if you don’t know by now that different people like different things, there’s probably not much else to say.
I’m glad your dad makes you delicious prawns.

Prawns are delicious my dad makes the best prawns. So spicy and full of flavour. Honestly a lot of you should just give over.

I love that he took his punishment with grace 😂

She didn’t say it’s ‘not her favourite’ though. She said she actively dislikes it. We had Thai green curry tonight. Not my favourite food in the world, but I’m fine to eat it.
I actively dislike prawns. I won’t eat them, because I really dislike them. If my husband cooked them for me (he wouldn’t, because he knows I don’t like them) then I wouldn’t eat them, because I really dislike them. That’s different to them not being ‘my favourite’.

Again, fab for you. You like salmon fish cakes. The OP doesn’t. I don’t know what else to say 🤷🏻‍♀️, apart from I’m glad you like your dad’s cooking.

But OP is a grown up, and can presumably manage to eat "not her favourite food", that someone else has cooked for her with good grace. It's no biggie. Most people over the age of 6 realise that they'll like some meals more than others, but they just eat the good healthy food put in front of them, that someone else has prepared. OP presumably doesn't live in a restaurant, so you eat what you're served (medical reasons excepted), and don't expect to be able to "order" what you want.

It's just a salmon fish cake. It's delicious with chips.

I love all the salmon dishes my dad make.

Well that’s brilliant for you, I guess. When I lived with my parents I mainly ate what I was given too, although they wouldn’t have deliberately cooked something I don’t like.
But now I own a home, pay half the mortgage, half the bills and half the food costs. I have no reason to eat things I don’t like, so I don’t. My husband doesn’t cook things I don’t like, and I don’t cook things he doesn’t like. There are enough things we all like that we have no reason to cook things someone doesn’t like.
The OP is upset because her partner has proved that he hasn’t listened to her over the years and has no idea about her preferences.

Probably weaponised incompetence

Stop cooking for him. Looks like hes capable of cooking hims3lf

As an adult who lives at home with my family I eat what they make. There are things I might dislike the taste of but I can stomach it because I'm getting a warm healthy meal and I'm greatful.

Almonds are good for your health as well.

I sometimes cook dinner that I know my youngest won't eat, because I'm blowed if we're only going to eat the stuff he eats (rarely I make him cook his own if it's not something that's differentiable. Otherwise he has the bits of what I'm cooking that he will eat)

If I was just cooking for me and him though, it would be pretty stupid to cook us something that he doesn't eat. At that point I've just cooked for me. If that's what's agreed, then fine, but I don't get to say "I've cooked us both dinner" if I've intentionally cooked something only I eat.

To be fair, once a tiny portion has been mushed up into a frozen fishcake, they probably all do taste similar.
There’ll be barely a spoonful in each one.

No they are not, some are considerate and some are dicks.

No other explaination!

I aggree with you that salmon is yuk yuk yukkers

Haven’t you worked out in 20 yrs that men don’t think! They are clinically unable to do so! But on another story, I made my ex a meat pie with cat food (he had seriously pi**ed me off) but he said it was great! But yes he should have known but I don’t particularly like salmon and my hubby of 21 yrs still asks me if I want some when he goes shopping! You should of fed the fish cakes to the dog/cat?
