I don't really cook for anyone except my partner if he and I share cooking for that meal (we just do whatever seems right that day)...but I am curious to know if I am imagining things...

Some women are incredibly picky eaters. And I'm not talking about being vegetarian or not eating certain things for religious reasons. And it's not diet reasons. My partner's daughter doesn't like: any root vegetables no matter how they are done (ie. squash, celery root, beets, etc.), mushrooms, certain green vegetables... It's actually abit annoying, almost childish to me when we must plan a menu for a special occasion now.

And she's not that young anymore. 30. She will eat sushi, sashimi, certain curries, black olives, strong French cheeses, tofu, etc. So she is not conservative in her palate.

I come from a family where women in our family will eat alot of different things and I'm referring to reasonably health stuff.

yea, I know I'm whining.
