Rich will tell me if he isn't thrilled with something I make, but he
hasn't so far hated anything I made. He'll still eat it, and especially
now that we have children, will eat it without comment, as we're trying
not to pass on our food prejudices and getting them to try all foods
without commentary. He also likes things that I make that I don't like
that well, so I guess we're well matched.

I don't think he'd ever say anything in front of other people,
though. That would bother me. At that point, I don't think it would be
about letting me know a preference for future reference, but would only
serve to make the guests uncomfortable and us look nitpicky. OTOH, I
don't often make things that I _know_ he won't like, unless he's going
to be gone.
