There aren't many foods that SWMBO likes and I dislike... But on
those rare occasions that she requests avocados (or walnuts
<shudder>) I'll prep 'em and take my obligatory spoonful. She
realizes I consider both avocados and walnuts just this side of
cod liver oil so thankfully they're not a staple in Clan Ranger
dietary needs.

Unfortunately for me, all three daughter-units, Alpha, Beta, and
Spawn, have developed tastes in favor of avocados. It's a
trade-off with none of them liking walnuts.

Add tomatoes and you and the DH are on the same page. One of my
favorite sammidges is bacon and avocado with mayo on toast. Yum!

What's the difference between "Occasionally" and "Sometimes"?

Anyway, I voted "Never. The closest I come to cooking something I
don't partake of myself for someone else is tea, but that may not
qualify because I only boil the water, they get to prepare their own
pond water. I don't think it's possible to properly prepare something
that one does not eat themself.

Funny how that happens sometimes. My wife used to say she hated
sauerkraut and refused to ever try it. That changed when my brother
brought us some sauerkraut-filled perogies from Pittsburgh. Elizabeth
raved about them as much as the rest of us did. ;-)

What's your recipe?

Hello Helen, I've been meaning to ask you a question about your recipe. It
calls for "margarine powder"? Never heard of such a thing!! You're
obviously in the British empire somewhere (bovril packets being the tell
there), no? Perhaps margarine powder is a UK thing, although in all my
travels there, I've never encountered it.

Enquiring minds, and all that....

I make stuff for DH & DS (plain white rice, for example, or spaghetti
with jarrred [yuk] sauce) that I don't care for -- I don't need to
taste it to know if it's cooked properly. OTOH, a real recipe could
be more difficult...

Sorry missed this first time round... to me "sometimes" is fiarly often
- "occasionally" means not as often... but maybe I should have used
"rarely"?

It's not really a criticism but I suggest that you would have
been bettter to have used numerical values like, "once a week",
"once a month", "less than once a month", "never".

Ahhh. BTDT. Somebody used "bi-weekly" once - even that was pooh-poohed,

I think "always", "often", "occasionally", and "never" work well and
leave plenty of room for personal extrapolation... but adding a
precise time element requires a whole nother survey and would probably
just confuse the frequency issue. My only query was in
differenciating between occasionally and sometimes, to me they are
synonymous.

and "occasionally" heh heh heh heh

Of course it is! I'm told I make a killer lemon meringue pie. However, I'd
never eat it since it is one of my very few dislikes. Oh, that and
walnuts..........

I voted "never" but I did do it once. Sort of. I was in Montana visiting
relatives. They wanted me to make the potato salad. They use <shudder>
Miracle Whip there and not mayo. I told them I'd be happy to put it
together, but they would have to test it to get the seasonings correct.

Friends don't let friends eat Miracle Whip!

I think if one has a live-in family, it's more likely that one is going to
cook to suit others. I have a housemate. I take care to not put anything
in food that I know she dislikes, but I don't cook things for her that I
don't like and don't expect her to do that for me. When I cook, she eats
what I eat or she makes her own dinner! I would treat a spouse similarly in
this regard.

Hmm...I guess I had better hide my Miracle Whip...... I do use Mayo a
lot more than Miracle Whip though. Now I get to retry that old
southern brand of mayo, called Dukes.

Me, too...?
Howdy, Miz. T.!
Long time no see-- here, at least.
Thought I'd poke my head in.

I never understood the attraction for Miracle Whip, when real mayo is so
much better.
Calories are the issue? Just don't consume it by the cup. What's the
problem?
I think it's preferred over mayo mostly by people whose taste buds were shot
off in some tragic, lunchtime drive-by incident...

Of course there's no accounting for taste.

I'll try damn near anything once-- provided it's fresh and not too weirdly
exotic. (Read: live monkey brains, poodle nipples in syrup, otter foreskin
meat, lark's heads in aspic, or other ...um... strangely located proteins
I'm not accustomed to, being a pampered and sheltered American.) To
paraphrase Bobcat Goldthwaite, "...if it 'tastes just like chicken', well,
then, I'll have the chicken, and *you* can eat the Dingo liver or the Badger
ovaries or the Marmoset nostrils or whatever the hell it is."

I *will* give a number of other, previously untried things a fair go,
however. After having tasted it, if I don't care for it, I'm seldom, if
ever, inclined to try it again. There's just so much else out there to
sample.

I still cannot abide Lima Beans. I just don't think one can disguise them
sufficiently to attract me. Perhaps it's the mental trauma that dissuades us
from revisiting some things we abhorred as children...

I was once forced to sit alone at the dining table for a few hours after
everyone else had eaten their dinner. I was maybe seven years old, and it
was one of those: "You'll sit right there until you finish everything on
that plate, Mister!" kinda deals.

Part of the meal was Lima Beans. I sat there with a wad of these things
packed into my cheek like some hillbilly with a plug of chewing tobacco. I'd
chewed the *HELL* out of them, until all their nutritive value and any
essential flavor had long since been been swallowed. I had this disgusting
block of pure fiber left, that I just could not force myself to swallow.

I quietly summoned the family Beagle over. He was essentially a fur-covered
garbage disposal. He had a square ass from sitting up and begging, I swear
he did... I surreptitiously spat this lump into my hand and offered it to
him, whereupon I was rewarded with a single sniff and an
oh-so-doggie-contemptuous look of: "Are you crazy? I'll eat roadkill and
lick my own balls, but I'm not touching *that* stuff."

I wound up wedging this hideous wad up under the table, where one of the
legs met the support joist. "I'm finished!" I yelled to my father, who
promptly came in to check my plate. Godnose what I was thinking. Childish
desperation at work...
"May I be excused, now?", I asked him.
As he surveyed my clean dinner plate, the still soggy wad of chewed Lima
Beans came loose and fell to the floor with a huge "THUD!", betraying my
lie...

"What in the hell...?" he began, and I promptly blurted "I DON'T KNOW WHAT
THAT IS, POP!" , while the Beagle barked and sniffed at the oddly-shaped
grayish-green lump now sitting under the table. I seem to recall that it was
kind of hard for my father to both laugh out loud and maintain a grave,
paternal, disciplinarian's demeanor as he scolded me and marched me off to
my room to "...think about what you've done, young man".

Lima Beans. I've had years to think about it, and they still give me the
willies...

I also voted never, and it sounds so ... selfish or something.

Fact is, it's just not an issue. Only thing I could think would be a
problem would be liver ... I am not cooking liver and I am serious
that I don't even want it cooked in the house. This has not come
up yet, if he's got a hankering for liver that would be a new one
on me.

I voted always, because, heck, I'm even making gumbo this weekend for the

I think I'll be cooking it all day. I haven't heard a starting time from
anyone, though.

Yes, it's this weekend on Saturday. Kili and I were discussing the
starting time a few days ago.

Want to go for about 4pm EST for the starting time? Gumbo takes a
while to cook, even after you get your roux made and the veggies and
meats/seafood added. So figure on eating a few hours from when it is
started.

You are exactly the person that I thought of when I read the survey. From
what I understand, *most* of what you cook is stuff that you'd never eat
(but you're slowly adding more things that you like to *his* list of likes.

You are not alone. A lot of people don't like livers - I assume you are
talking calves livers? I don't mind them occasionally, but they must be
tender... However, I love chicken livers sauteed with garlic, onions and
(homemade) tomato sauce

I'm with you there. I grew up hating liver because my mom would cook
it to the shoe leather stage, and the only taste left were the
purines. Or uric acid. Later in life, I worked overseas and got to
know gently-cooked lamb's liver. Good stuff, so I tried calves liver
again when I came home. Sure enough, it was tasty just gently cooked.
Hard to find it in grocery stores now, though, where I live.

It really does sound kind of selfish. But I'm the one that likes liver.
Hubby hates it. There are several things like that. I don't make liver
anyway because I'd be the only one eating it and I'd have to cook something
else for him.

Mine was a "never" vote because there isn't anything my wife likes
that I don't. The trick around here comes when I get a craving for
something that I know she historically doesn't like. I usually save
those dishes for nights when she's on Girls' Night Out, then I can
have any leftovers for lunch.

Her tastes over the years have changed somewhat, though, since I'm a
better cook than her mom was/is (something both of them readily admit)
and I can show her a different way to make a dish she thought she
didn't like.

I had to say "occasionally" because there are some things that I just don't like
(shrimp, for example) that I will make for my family (my husband and son love it).
There are also things I make that not everyone else likes, but I love. I also make
adjustments for myself, due to diabetes, that I don't necessarily make for everyone
else.
