fussy bl**dy eater....dh not ds

[yawningmonster]

Ok help me out here
I am vegetarian, ds and dh are not...
dh will not eat
gluten products
white rice
chicken
pork
processed meats eg sausages
dairy products
potatoes
he will eat eggs but only on their own eg boiled or poached not in quiche, omlette, frittata etc

so what do I make
I am rubbish at brown rice so tonight we had dahl with carrots, beans and mushrooms no rice
I do alot of stir fries and casseroles with a seperate lot for me.

I have some lovely recipes but dh can't/won't have them....ideas please

.

I'd love to answer you but, my dh is fussy too (far fussier than either of the dcs), I treat him like a child, if he won't eat what the rest of us eat then he makes his own. And actually he will now sometimes eat veggie stuff (or at least try it.

I try and get around it by making things I can do with meat and without, so I'll make kebabs, one lot with lamb and one lot with halloumi and bung lots of veg in both. Stuff like that.

I would tell him to make his own bloody food.

Does he just not like all those things, or is there a reason ha can't eat them?

It looks quite restiricted to me,and tbh I would be inclined to cook meals for ds and me, and he can eat them or not!

Will he eat a roast dinner?
Easy to adapt for meat/veggie alternatives, and just do sweet pots/parsnips to replace the potatoes.

thanks for replies
yes he will eat roast, so do that at times, means doing a seperate protein/iron for me though.
haven't done kebabs for years, will tryh
To jas he is self diagnosed intolerant to gluten and dairy and potatoes,sausages and rice he is convinced are just plain bad for you. chicken and pork are probably my fault...too many years living with a vege nut who doesn't condone the lives that poultry and pigs have prior to the dinner plate. eggs just fussy

Is he not able to reach the fridge or access a supermarket?

ok ok, but I cook that is the way it is in this house, not after a bashing of make him cook, after ideas of what to make please

You could use corn tortilla and make up bean feasts and stuff like that. Then he could stuff his own dinner. For rice use quinoa or millet, stuff like that.

Have you asked him what he would like to eat?

oooh yes thanks ranting, i do a nacho dish with corn chips but hadn't done tacos or tortilla, yum, unfortunately quinoa and millet aren't on his yes list.

I do a thing with a bit of chili, peppers, mushrooms, tin of toms (whatever veg is in the fridge) and simmer till thick and serve it with tortilla or rice and sour cream but dh doesn't have the sour cream. Sometimes I put chicken in for him and the dcs. But you could put beef or lamb in it.

Will he eat beans?

flamesparrow, have many times asked and he wants steak and vege, casserole and thats about it, Im bored senseless and so is ds who loves food

yes to beans and the vege con carne dish sounds yum ranting, dh would eat that I think (minus sour cream)

Hmmmm... how does DS feel about vege dishes?

I'm thinking if you are making two different meals anyway, if DS could eat your varied diet, and just have the odd casserole etc with DH. tehn I would just leave DH to it with his wants.

Give him a slice of gluten free toast with baked beans on top.

make beany lasagne with GF lasagne sheets.

Salmon and salad

(I know that doesn't help with recipe ideas, but I get the feeling the change is more then issue than the food iyswim)

good point fs, yes ds loves vege food and to be honest would choose to eat it over dh's food any day, was hoping for an end to making two meals while also providing a bit of variety. smugcolditz dh wont eat gluten alternatives either (told you he was fussy) he does however like fish, though if you saw the price of salmon here you prob wouldn't suggest that one, thanks though as can prob do a few more fish dishes for the two meat eaters

I have to say that if he is really that fussy, in my house he would be pointed in the direction of the kitchen and told to make his own meals. If DS will eat your food, then just make the one meal. DH can eat it, or cook his own.

My main concern would be restricting ds'diet to fit in with dh, so I'd go with making good veggie food for you and ds, and just give dh steak and veg /salad to fit in with your meals.
