I went shopping for quality ingredients, forgetting my situation. I made something simple: Salibury steak with fine chopped veggies and fresh herbs and grated harvarti cheese with red wine dash. I made brussel sprouts in rosemary fresh, sprinkled with parm cheese and stirfry rice. I take pride in my cooking and have been a chef for 10 years. I know my cooking doesnt suck, because not only have I won my fair share of culinary competitions, most people I know trip over themselves to get to my food and are legit pissed if they were not on time to get anything.
I stopped cooking for him, because he's insufferable when it comes to food. He also legit doesnt get how I feel, because Im not making specialized dishes and most of the food he loves is processed crap. Ill always ask him what he wants to eat, and he almost always replies with the vague answer of "food." Thanks, thats so helpful. So dont get pissed at me when you are served something from your ever growing list of "icky" foods you hate. He also hates it when I cook for other guy or girl friends.he also has the gall to complain if my food looks "better" than his food. I garnished his delivery pizza slice with a basil leaf, saying I didnt know what else to do for him. and he said I had an "attitude."
The things up to date of which he currently despises:
Any ethnic food that isnt faux Mexican or tso cchicken and rice from the chinese food place.
Wine in and outside of food
Tomatoes
Onions
Mushrooms

Eggs
Any fresh herbs

The only things I know for a fact that he just looooves are as follows:

Papa Johns large double pepperoni light very light cheese with the large breadsticks.
That damn $5 Taco Bell Box.
Burritos

Blue box macaroni.
Chicken ramen
Subways Spicy Italian drenched in vinegar, all of the spicy veggies and southwest sauce and black olives.
Dr. Pepper
Milk
Pepperoni
Energy drinks, Venom and Monster being particular favorites
Chicken
Steak
Bacon
Biscuits
Brown Gravy from the package
The coffee with heavy cream and sugar he requests 3-4 times daily. He likes caffine so he can stay up later for hos video games.
And thats about it. You feed him anything else and he pouts, calling it not "food-food." He'll just insinuate that he has to "shut up and eat the food of the wife who is always right and begrudgingly eat it, or just thank me for "trying to make him something." And dont even get me started on when I tried introducing some vegan alternatives. He looked like I told him I was leaving the country.
It's so annoying dealing with this. Am I the only one who thinks this is odd, or am I the crazy one?
