I have done this with a couple of people over the years. Both cases
involving kangaroo/wallaby disguised as 'beef stew' or as 'beef
patties'. They never knew until I told them later

LOL. That reminds me of when I was very young. Apparently I didn't
like scrambled eggs except when Mum told me it was fish. THEN I'd eat
it

In my case with dh, it's anything with Parmesan or cottage cheese. If he
doesn't know it, he chows right through it, but if he knows it, he complains
about the taste of it. Who knows why.

My policy is to never spill the beans on what's in the dish. Once spilled, preconceived notions take over. I'm not only a good cook, I'm also a smart one.

Tonight we have shredded pork cooked in a sweet tangerine syrup with garlic and ginger. I wanted to get away from my standard Asian flavor profile. Mission accomplished.

No. My husband will eat just about anything, and I simply don't
cook with things I know he doesn't like: e.g., mushrooms, peas.
He eats around cooked carrots.

We've got a friend who doesn't like anything that lives in water,
or anything interesting, really. We always serve prime rib or
pizza or something when he's coming over.

I was a fussy eater when I was a kid. One night they made me eat
peas and I puked them right back up on the table. I'm not about
to serve people stuff I know they don't like and lie to them
about it.

Been there, done that and often wondered - do they know really but
choose to eat something so delicious they can't resist

for years only 'beef slices' were served to him

When my daughter was little and had a fever I told her she should drink lots of fluids. She shouted and screamed that she didn't want fluids. "OK" I said "have water instead". It worked like a charm.

I try to stick to "thou shalt not bear false witness." Which is not to
be confused with being overly forthcoming. But if someone wants to know
the recipe, what they choose to eat or not eat is their problem, not
mine. (allergies excepted of course, lots of that in my family)

We once had a party where the canapes included smoked eel. I had set out
a platter of smoked salmon and cream cheese on dark rye, and next to
that was the same bread but with egg salad and smoked eel. I didn't
want to tell people it was eel because I figured most would cringe at
the thought of eating eel. I let them try it first and when people told
me how good it was I told them what it was.

Another story:
A former Moslem colleague loved Chinese food conveniently ignorant of
the fact that they used pork fat in the woks. At his farewell lunch,
arranged by a Chinese colleague, he scoffed down pork dishes thinking
they were beef.

I often chuckle thinking back to a father and son who I worked with many
years ago. The father was a finicky eater and had a number of things he
especially hated, like asparagus and mushrooms. One evening they showed
up for the night shift and old Mort was in a foul mood. He wouldn't say
what was bugging him and he got upset when his son explained what had
happened. His wife had made Beef Stroganoff for supper. It was only
when he went back for his fourth helping that he learned there were
mushrooms in it. He was furious that his wife had served him mushrooms
that she knows he hates.... four servings worth.

My brother still whines about the time he could not go out on Halloween
because he would not eat his peas. I had little sympathy because I
don't know what there is to dislike about peas. They are a very mild
tasting vegetable.

I don't know but maybe they have 'special dispensation' ? I remember
RC friends years ago who loved to be served meat on Fridays because
they could eat it under special dispensation not to be rude when a
nonRC offered you food, or somesuch.

We had a labrador that could wolf down a plate of leftovers but leave
the peas in the bottom of his dish. We counted them one night before
his dish was put down and he left every single one even though he
appeared to just snarf the food up.

Was he really ignorant or did he just feign ignorance in order to enjoy
something tasty? When I was in high school we often went across the
street to the A&W for lunch. You could tell the Jewish kids by the
lunches the ordered.... usually the cheese and bacon burgers. They
could not eat them at home because of the dairy and meet combination and
the pork.

That surprises me with a Lab. They usually eat just about anything. The
first dog my wife and I had was Bouvier des Flandres that weighed about
160 pounds. She would get the leftover beef strew on top of her kibble
and she would pick out the peas, lick them clean and leave them on the
floor. It is hard to accept that a dog would would gobble down fresh cat
turds would find the taste of peas objectionable.

I have reached that point where I can no longer bear to prepare shredded pork the way I've done in the past. These things happen.

Those that dislike peas will understand at once - those that love peas will never be able to see. That's the breaks.

Canned peas, cooked for another 20 minutes. I don't eat khaki
vegetables.

I like peas now, minimally cooked. Frozen peas just need to
be heated through.
