Foods that divide your house

[FridgeJenga]

Custard.

I'm in the hard No thanks camp.

I love and DH hates them:

Cream and creamy sauces
Mayonnaise
Yoghurt
Cottage cheese
Brown sauce
Marmite
Branston pickle
Peanut butter
Jam
Marmalade
Vinegar - I too used to drink it as a child
Roll mop herrings
Tripe

He loves and I hate:

Mashed potatoes, especially in sandwiches
Fish, especially whole fish (I can just about eat a fillet, although the taste is about like eating paper)

Jacket potatoes - Dh and I: delicious easy midweek dinner. Dcs: most boring meal ever

DH won’t eat sweet potatoes and I won’t eat mushrooms - we buy neither but eat them when we’re out.

Same, plus
Milkshake
Fondue
Melted cheese
Marmite
Creamy sauces

Mushrooms, I love them DH and DS can't stand them

Mushrooms again… DP loves. I don’t, but will eat them unless they’re served with pasta, or worse, risotto, or in a creamy sauce. Strangely, I like mushroom soup, though I’d never choose it.

Risotto generally, DP enjoys, I don’t, though again, will eat it unless it’s with mushrooms. Something about the two together makes the mushrooms taste of mustiness and despair.

Tomato ketchup, might not be considered a food, but it does divide our household: 3 love it & 3 loathe it.

OH likes;
Kippers
Marmite
Beetroot 🤢

I like;
Strong cheese
Mayo

Grilled cheese or other cooked toppings eg pasta bakes / lasagnes / shepherd’s pie etc

Team Cheesey Top - me and DH fighting over the bubbling oozing goodness

Team insipid dry top - kids. I have to cover half the top of everything with foil so theirs is all soggy whilst ours is gloriously bubbling and caramelised!

Okra. Husband loves it, to me they are slimy rotting fingers 🤮

Half the household love baked beans and the other half hate them. It leads to a friendly dispute every time they are eaten!

Everyone else in the house loves Indian food, except DS, the only thing he likes is the pakora chicken strips from Iceland and a naan bread which he rarely eats.

peppers is a huge one, neither DS or dd like peppers so cooking anything with peppers or mushrooms aswell tbh is awkward, I have to cook them separately and add them to mine and DP after.

Theres probably way more but they are the main ones.

There's really only tripe and puy lentils that I absolutely will not eat. Daughter thinks I'm mad. Especially about black pudding.
"Mummy it is BLOOD from an ANIMAL"
Yes darling, and very nice it is too.

My kids hate mashed potatoes and lasagna! Weirdos.

DH won't eat baked beans. Too 'sweet' apparently. He does like red kidney beans, broad beans, edamame etc.

DS really dislikes cous cous and fruit in saucy recipes. Tagines, curries etc.

Beetroot - I hate it, DH loves it
Bread - he eats loads, I eat very little of it
Indian/Chinese food - DH won't touch, I love it

Things that I eat, that at least one of DH, DS or DD won’t:
blue cheese (none of them)
raw tomatoes (DS)
Boiled or baked potatoes (DD)
Gherkins (none of them)
Baked beans (DD)
Brie, Camembert (DH, DS; DD will eat it baked)
Sultanas (DS)
Anything spicy (DH, DD)

On the other hand I don’t eat meat or drink milk.

Catering is fun !

Love all cheese but Feta I hate it and it seems to be part of so many recipes.
Peas make me heave
Beetroot is awful

Fish! All kids love it, hubby & I don’t like it at all

Olives

Sardines and tinned mackerel

Mushrooms. DH loves them and I hate them.

Mushrooms - me and DC2 love; DH and DC1 hate
Peanut butter - everyone but me loves it; I loathe it
Mustard (English) - everyone but me hates it; I love it
Gravy - me and DC2 love; DH and DC1 hate
Nutella - DC both love, I hate
Brown sauce - me and DC1 love; DH and DC2 hate

Three of us love and three of us loathe
Mushrooms
Olives
Tomatoes
Prawns
I hate eggs, bananas, sausages, black pudding, chicken nuggets, ketchup, brown sauce, Chinese Takeaway, salami/chorizo and other charcuterie meats, cereal, porridge, squash and smoothies. My family love them all.
DC1 hates roast pork which everyone else likes but loves ham from a packet that everyone else loathes.
DC2 hates buttered toast but loves Heinz tomato soup which is everyone else hates,
DC3 hates gravy and mashed potatoes but loves instant noodles which we all hate,
DC4 hates cream and bacon but loves all seafood,
DH loves canned ravioli which is everyone else agrees smells disgusting

Twiglets.
Me: 😱.
Everyone else: 😍.

Weirdos!
