Making dishes you don't like
When my kids were younger, I always made a pot of marinara sauce every saturday...They just loved having sauce and bread so they could tell Mommy when it was done...TeeHee....I don't care for red sauce that much but they loved it so I made it..

Do you make stuff you don't like because someone else does?

Wow Wynne :) Another great thread...

Well, anyone who 'knows' me by now, knows I don't eat fish. Nor seafood....
But, it's sooooo good for you! I cook it quite regularly for hubby, and for my son & daughter when they are here, all of whom LOVE it.

I don't like liver, kidneys, etc. But I make Steak & Kidney Pie all the time for hubby.

That's when cooking is hardest, when you are used to tasting as you go, but can't bring yourself to try what you're cooking...Keeps your skills sharp, though :)

knox - my mom always made them - cannot stand the cabbage fetuses as I life to refer them as - yicky - and I will not make them under any circumstances - though lately since I tried fennel - oven roasted with a little olive oil, S & P and parmesan, maybe I should give them another try...

I will not make anything that has to do with innards...

Brussel Sprouts are awesome sauteed with 1/2 butter, 1/2 olive oil, and garlic......Love them.....

I make my guy stuff with mushrooms and don't care for them...Texture thing....They are easy to pick out of anything I put them in though...I even make him stuffed mushrooms....I like the stuffing!!!!!

I'm sure I will gross some people out but there is nothing I won't eat-- inside or out except for the boiled whole head of a goat. When I was 6 years old I ran out into my grandpa's kitchen in Crete and ran right into a table that had a boiled goat head (eyes and all) . It fell on me and needless to say I TOTALLY freaked out!!! My grandpa said he'd never forget the look on my face and I said I'd never forget the look on the goat's face! LOL

Ironically, the very first recipe I posted on this site (out of a grand total of TWO recipes) is one that I simply cannot eat: my infamous giblet stew. It smells like wet dog when it's cooking. To be quite honest, I just don't DO organ meat anymore--not since mortuary science college, anyway. It's very rich and my husband loves it, but I can't be in the same room with it after awhile.

I absolutely hate any kind of a sweet pickle...EWWWW...makes my skin crawl to think about them! I like DILL pickles in egg salad, potato salad, etc.; and Bryan likes sweet. SO...when I make something like that, I make two bowls, so he can have his nasty old sweet pickles....now, THAT'S true love if I ever heard of it! LOL

I'm with you sparow. I don't like sweet pickles or pickle relish. We do have a jar in the fridge cuz the dad here likes to make tartar sauce with it....ugh!

Here this will gross you out....my 5 year old loves veggies and will try anything at least once. She came home from school one day and told me they had pickle relish out for the condiments for lunch and she tried it. Loved it and came home and asked for a bowl for her afternoon snack! gak!

Fish Heads song.....FUNNY!

I have to admit....I Love Pickles, any way...sweet, sour, dill, hot....veggie pickle, anything pickled. YUM. I can't eat or cook guts or lamb. Hubby only gets it when we go out to eat. I have a few dishes that I don't mind making, I just don't eat them....Lasagna or any casserole. (I don't like my flavors to mingle). I'll cook just about anything that doesn't look back at me....I just won't eat it.

Liver....it looks like placenta...my husband asked to make it when we first got married and I gaged and carried on talking about how it looked like placenta....he said he didn't want it ever again....well, that went well.

I hate Tuna, I will make it for hubby but not without being dramatic about it.
