We were going to have shrimp curry the other night. I couldn't eat it. It reminded me of my first marriage. Getting out on my own for the first time. I was trying to be a good wife. I had gotten a set of iron skillets as a wedding present. I was told how to 'cure' them and I did all of that. I had been taught how to cook and wasn't that bad. I was trying to get up each morning and get my construction husband a good breakfast. Those pans were hellish to cook on. I didn't do too well. I decided to cook a really good supper one night. I knew he liked shrimp so I found a recipe in my cookbook for shrimp curry. I got the ingredients, made the curry, and tasted it. Good. I was so proud of myself. My husband comes home. I serve the dish and wait. What was his comment? "I don't like curry."
I can't eat curry to this day. It makes me angry.

I wanted to surprise him with a good meal after a couple of breakfast flops.

@celticeagle Oh I could tell you some stories too that would make your hair stand on end what the pig did to me with food.

Oh man, I understand. All that effort. I personally like iron cookware, but I grew up with it.

I'm not into Thai food. It took me awhile to learn how to cook with castiron skillets too.

Nor am I. I like milder flavors. But, I do enjoy Chinese mustard.

Just made me mad at the absurdity of it.

I can very well understand your anger and if it makes you feel that way then just keep away from curry. I have a different problem. My late husband and I always enjoyed having coffee not just in the mornings but in different ways like with whipped cream and also vanilla ice cream. Then he passed away and to this day I can't get coffee down my throat, I sure tried figuring I was just being silly and when I first came to Florida I bought a simple instant coffee jar. I tried it about twice and finally, that coffee grew moldy and I threw it out, Thanks for suggesting @Gilljane
