Oh, I tried my best to reform him when we were first together. I have to
admit that he would "try" to eat some of the (quite normal) things he had
never eaten before, but most of them he simply couldn't abide, and
actually claimed they made him feel "sick". <g> He now eats and loves
veal which he had never eaten before, as well as filet mignon which he had
never tasted. Still, he'd probably have a hamburger if left to his own
devices, and a greasy one at that, however greasy food is now verboten.
He will eat *shredded* lettuce on a sandwich or a very small salad, but
God forbig he should eat a *leaf* of it. <g> After this many yaers I'm
quite used to it, plan for it, and it's no major effort now. Eating out
he will join me at Asian restaurants but no foods on their menus will ever
pass his lips. One exception is Lemon Chicken, as long as it doesn't have
too many "pieces" of other things in it. <g> And so it goes...
