I have a pal, whose husband thinks her Mom is the best cook! She uses a lot of her Mom's recipes in her meal preparations. One day, while she was preparing potato salad, by her Mom's recipe, her hubby caught her putting pickle juice in it. While he likes pickles, he hates pickle juice (?). He got all upset for her doing this.

That's funny!
A prime example of "what they don't know,
won't hurt them."
LOL,
My husband does not like cream cheese, if he only knew how many dips, and desserts I have put it in!!
ROFLL! This is so true. My Hub thinks he hates stew. He's been eating it for years with a splash of bar-B-Q sauce (from a jar) and loving it.
Hubbys sure can have their funny ways, huh? Well I am lucky because my husband is a very good eater and there are very few things he doesn't like and perhaps nothing that he hates. He is not a sweets eater at all so I've never been much of a dessert maker. Now that we have kids I really should learn to make baked goods. He doesn't drink milk and isn't real keen on cornbread but that's about it and anything else he's happy with.
Perhaps for the picky husband, it's best to use the same approach Moms do with kids and that is to disguise things or just put it in and keep quiet!
Here's my advice. If your husband (or wife) doesn't like the food you make, he/she can cook it himself! Those picky husbands sound like they are spoiled. My husband does more than half the cooking at our house, and believe me, I never complain about what he makes or what he puts in the dish. I am grateful that he cooks.
Amen! I work hard to put a good meal on the table. And if my husband or children don't like it they can always do the cooking while I sit in front of the T.V. and relax.
URGH! This is so true. It's so hard to cook for my hubby. I love to cook and I can't ever venture out or cook normal food because he doesn't like anything.
Hiding an ingredient in a recipe brings my son to mind. He's in his 40's now but when he was about 8 he got it into his head one day that he wouldn't eat eggs anymore. His reasoning was that it wasn't normal to eat something that came from a chicken's bum. So I simply cooked as usual but never let him see that I put egg into the recipe & that's when I started mixing egg into mashed potatoes.
Growing up, my mother was the cook. We learned to eat what was served. She never made anything we really hated, and we realized that different members of the family favored different things. We knew we would get our turn.
That being said, her picky husband should be thanking her! It takes a lot of time and effort to plan and prepare meals day after day. If he is so dissatisfied with her cooking, let him prepare his own meals and fend for himself!
If my mother were still alive, she would wholeheartedly agree with me!
