I’m not just referring to children—we all know that children can be quite finicky eaters—I’m also referring to our elderly relatives. For the past fifteen years, my husband has presented a gastronomic challenge to me. Although he has made significant progress from the extremely picky guy I first met, he is still far from being an experimental foodie.
Even while I doubt he will ever have the same level of experimental eating as myself, I am still rather proud of how far he has come. My husband ate so little when we first started dating that I could count them on two hands. I still clearly recall him rejecting most vegetables as well as basic items like broccoli, mushrooms, and tomatoes.
His first reaction the first time I made him my Chicken Stroganoff was to point out the mushrooms without touching them. However, he tried them since he didn’t want to offend me because we had just started dating. That was the first dish that began to broaden his perspective on foods and ingredients he had previously assumed to be disliked. He devoured every morsel and began to genuinely trust me when it came to food.
I’ve “cured” him of most of his culinary anxieties over the years, with the exception of shellfish. I simply cannot persuade him to even eat anything that comes from or has been in the vicinity of seafood.
Because it has so many mushrooms, my husband used to refuse to touch this mushroom chicken and rice casserole years ago. But now he ate every last morsel of it, including the additional mushrooms I had on top. Actually, this easy, creamy rice dish was a hit with everybody. This simple, comforting dish will definitely satisfy even picky eaters. (A few finicky individuals might even have their opinions changed by it.)
