aibu to be fed up of his fussiness?

[ireallycantthinkofaname]

Fist world problems to the max but .......

In a house of 4 people - all adults - if one person was prodigiously fussy, would you expect all meals to be catered to their tastes or a second meal made for them, ORfor them to either put up and shut up, or make themselves something? (They refuse to cook for themselves beyond making a sandwich or heating up a tin of soup at lunchtime).

This is the situation I'm in with my brother - early 20s, comes home from uni for the holidays. Really fussy eater and would basically have 'meat and two veg* plus mashed or roast potatoes' for every meal, but only very specific vegetables e.g. broccoli, cauliflower, courgettes, carrots, stringless green beans, peas, sweetcorn.

Tonight I've pre-made (so it just needs heating up) a tomato sauce with various veg (not of the types he likes....), onions, garlic, mushrooms and lots of herbs with spaghetti, meatballs (one lot for the vegetarians and one lot for the meat-eaters) and stuffed bell peppers.

I know he won't like it. But I'm not sure if I'm being unreasonable making something I know 1 person out of 4 won't like or he's being unreasonable expecting everyone's meals to always be done to his liking.

You’re already cooking two meals….one for meat eaters & one for the veggie people.
As there’s 4 in the house (3 if you don’t count the brother), one of the meals you cook for must be for only one person.
Youre happy to cook for this one person…but not your brother?
Why not cook for your brother and let the other meat/veggie cook for themselves?
Who pays for the food?

I'd cook one meal, separate any sauce to make one portion vegetarian but still the same meal.

If fussy pants doesn't want to eat it then no one is going to force him. At 20 years old he can make himself some beans on toast!

Please don't pander to him and turn him into a man-child. Just think of his poor future wife who might end up having to do the same...!
