My DH is an extremely fussy eater (MIL has great stories to tell from him growing up!) and I am not, so in the beginning of our marriage it was a problem. The time that ended his comments was when I had made this awesome beef stroganoff and he took his bowl and started digging through it asking what is this what is that about different things in it with his nose turned up. I told him that I wasn't cooking anymore, he could cook for us from now on. He immediately apologized and hasn't said anything since. He is still a fussy eater and I try to be accommodating to his reasonable dislikes, but I do cook some things I know he's not fond of because I do like them and I live and work here too (we wouldn't have too much of a variety if I didn't ).

Now despite all my trying DS is a fussy eater! He is a clone of my husband, although I don't let him get away with it either. Having someone cook a meal for me is one of my greatest treats, so I've trained him to at least say "Dinner was very good" even if he didn't like it.

Never. He might not rave about my cooking (I think I'm a pretty good cook) but he never ever says anything about it in a negative way, even if it is awful (infrequently).

I agree. My dh will tell me if he doesn't like something. It doesn't bother me, since he rarely does it. I would much rather he told me, than continue to eat something he doesn't like.

He rarely comments on the food (ie. no compliments either). If I ask his opinion I'll get feedback, but not complaints. There are a couple things I like that he doesn't. I either make them when he's out of town, or provide an alternative. Sometimes I am even nice enough to make him dishes I don't like (like seafood).

NEVER but sometimes if we try something new he will wait for me to say something first like this isn't really that great or something like I think I put to much salt in it ...... he may say something then like it isn't great but I would eat it again. I guess that is one good thing about dh he will always try something once with me. He did not like fish when we met now he will eat it when ever I make it and not complain and sometimes even say wow that was really good.

I wouldn't say that he complains, but if I make something new and ask if he likes it, if he doesn't he will say "You don't have to make this again". I don't take offense to it when I'm experimenting. Now if he said that about my lasagna or something I'd be ticked! He knows better.

the only meal that DH doesn't care for is a turkey/stuffing rollup deal that I've made twice in 6 years. other than that, he's usually going on and on about how GOOD I've made something.. he's taught DS how to compliment his mommy, so I often hear "Mommy, you're such a GREAT food cooker!"
