If your partner cooks something you don't like....

Do you eat it, then tell them a little later that you didn't really like it, or do you just tell them straight out as you're eating it that it tastes like ... well, you know!? Or do you not say anything at all, knowing how they slaved over it to make it right? Or maybe they are such great cooks, they only ever serve great food.

My husband does all the cooking and he asks me first what I want...There have been a time or two that I didn't like the taste of the chicken he made because it wasn't done enough or my hamburger wasn't well done...We eat the same things so there really isn't a problem...Other than that no problems here in the food department...LOL

I like certain foods cooked certain ways, like my steak I prefer medium, but chops and sausages need to be well done! My wife doesn't always like her food cooked the same, lol! We do share the cooking, so we get equal chance to complain....oops, I meant compliment!

I have to say I try to like fish cos I know it is good for me, but it is not one of my favourite things. The way my hubby does fish for me at least makes it easier for me to eat fish, but I still wouldnt put it on my favourite list, but I prefer it the way he does it...

Well fish is suppose to be brain food, but I don't know that it makes much difference, so I'm sure you aren't lacking anything just because you don't like fish, and don't eat it! I wonder if it has something to do with what kids get exposed to as to whether or not they like certain foods?! I was brought up eating fish, I wonder if thats why I like it? Mind you, I hate brussels sprouts, and also would have as a kid, so I don't know!!

I could relate to this matter since I have once experienced such thing. My ex-boyfriend was really a good cook but since we are not perfect, he does fail in cooking sometimes. There was one time that he cooked me something which I really find so sucking. The taste was so weird that I can't afford to swallow it. But as a sign of respect, I just ate the food no matter how sucking it is. Because I don't wanna hurt his feelings and I also would wanna show him that I do appreciate his effort in doing so. But right after the meal, I told him that the food was good but it would be better if we're not gonna have that kind of recipe again.

My hubby is a pretty good cook, but there has been a couple of times he has cooked and I have not liked it, I just tell him straight away, and then we just get something else to eat, and then he knows not to cook it again..But usually if I dont like it, he seems to not like it also, so our tastes are similar.

My husband is a great cook only rarely does he cook something I dont like. I do tell him why like to much salt not enough so on. Im not a picky eater so I like just about anything.. I do however dont like things to spicy or with to much sauce. When I cook he lets me know if there is something he dont like. I dont cook it again..Why not be honest.
