According to his Mom he has been picky forever. Everyone loves the story that even before he could talk he could tell the difference between orange juice brands and would fling his sippy cup down if it was not Donald Duck OJ.
I imagine the caption of this picture as, "What do you mean you don't like chicken?!" That would be Tom surrounded by family members at the dinner table.
Fast forward 35 years...
Yep, still does NOT like chicken. I figured that it was breaded and deep fried, who doesn't love that?! Him.
Over the last 13 years I have been slowly getting this food hater to at least try some new things, and the blog is here to share all of the wonderful things that he still isn't ready to try.
Slow but steady progress is good progress! Bravo to you!
ReplyDeleteI honestly can't understand how anyone can not like food! Baffles me! :)
ReplyDeletegah! I can never understand people like that. but at least you're trying to expand his palate!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for trying. You definitely seem up to the challenge. My daughter is like your husband and it's really frustrating.
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny! My husband is a "little" adventurous, but he still loves his burgers, fries and packaged food. He'll buy anything with new packaging or flavors.
ReplyDeleteTell your hubs that he should eat chicken. My husband is allergic and wish he could. ;-)
I have a friend who's husband will only eat pork. No beef or chicken or seafood.
ReplyDeleteYep, Tom and John are two peas in a pod! At least we've gotten them to try things throughout the years :)
ReplyDeleteWhile I am on vacation, my step-daughter and I both love spicy shit, so I can't wait to share some meals with her that Tony wouldn't touch! Turns out the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, his son doesn't like spicy food either!
ReplyDeleteI also plan on showing her how to make my baja fresh salsa!
You've brought him a long way. Maybe some day he'll even enjoy chicken in one way or another (don' tell him I said that-lol). Love your caption for the baby photo!!
ReplyDeleteIt sound like you are making a little headway at least. I know it's a challenge to cook for one.
ReplyDeleteGiven another 10 years, we'll all be raving about what he eats :)
ReplyDeleteGood job on being so determined my friend - I know you are going to succeed :D
ReplyDeleteCheers

I hope that Tom starts to eat your delicious cooking soon. I don't know how he is able to resist. Blessings dear. Catherine xo
ReplyDeleteIt would be hard to cook for someone like Tom. At least it sounds you get him try new once in awhile.
