I am not going to lie- some people don't like experiments. If we have been together for 10 years and you start experimenting without my consent, you will be saddened by the fact that I will go out and get chipotle and eat it right in front of you.
I am luck because I communicate from the go. We know what we like and don't. We don't experiment or else feelings get hurt.
LOL-- when I experiment, I just tell him "don't worry you'll like it". If it were up to him, we'd be eating meatloaf every night. I do make a good meatloaf, but change is good.

It would happen often because at my age I do not ask permission to do anything.
As fas as the fast food crap you go get, so what, I don't eat fast food and you can count on eating fast food from that moment on unless you cook for yourself.

Oh, you are good. I don't mind experiments but with the foods I like. I dated a person for 5 years and she, despite she knowing exactly the foods I did and didn't like, would always change up and add something. It drove me crazy. But I finally figured her out. We barely argued. But some people get a kick out of pushing your buttons. So when she wanted attention, she put in onions and acted like she forgot...

But if you know exactly what I eat and you deliberately cook things fully knowing I don't like them, then who is fooling who? Next time I will paint the bathroom orange- without your permission...

But, as we say to small children, how do you know you'll like something unless you try it?
As for general eating habits, that's something that comes up a lot. I know many women would be happy having cheese and crackers or a bowl of cereal for dinner, but their husbands/boyfriends expect some huge, elaborate, meat-based meal.
Today, I'm making a new recipe. It is one of the most popular recipes from a restaurant my husband and I recently visited.
It is a Tomato Pie with a cheese topping.
This morning,
I diced 4 cups of tomatoes and roasted them in the oven.
I also spent 2 hours caramelizing onions.
I went to the store to get more tomatoes and some expensive cheese.
In a little while I will,
Dice 3 more cups of tomatoes and drain them.
Make the dough and bake a pie crust.
Later, I will assemble the pie, and make the topping, and bake it.
So, I told DH I was making a tomato pie for dinner, and he says, "Is that all we're having?"
Wow. I just get frozen pie shells, slice some tomatoes from the garden, a few green onions, maybe basil, mayo, salt, pepper and shredded cheddar cheese, through it together and Bam. done.

Ha ha. He gets plenty of man food. He is really a good sport about whatever experimental foods I subject him too. I thought it was funny how clueless men are sometimes.

I've lived in the south all my life, born & raised, and I've never heard of it.
Wait, 2 hours to caramelize onions? Were you using a cigarette lighter?
