Sunday Brunch: Kosher Salami and Eggs
What is it with dads and salami and eggs? This is one of the only 3 things that my dad can cook. Other than this, spaghetti and meatballs, and tacos, he is helpless in the kitchen.
Not passionate about food... A relationship deal breaker?
@akk328 - that's a great idea. "Would you eat this if I made it again?" Perfect. I will now be able to determine if my boyfriend likes the things I make.
@conky - I am currently dating a wonderful man who eats nothing. Honestly. No fruits or vegetables (excepting potatoes and corn.) None. He eats pizza, pasta, beef, chicken, fish, rice, bread, and that's basically it. Will not eat anything green. And you know what? I love him a ridiculous amount, and it's enough to get over it. Last night for dinner, I made a roasted chicken with roasted potatoes and garlic, and he ate that (and liked it even though there were fennel seeds on it.) I just cooked up some zucchini for myself on the side and that was totally fine - he can see it, just can't eat it.
It is extremely frustrating to me that I will never be able to go to, say, Blue Hill at Stone Barns with him, or make him understand why I am so passionate about food. But even I have been able to expand his horizons (in INCREMENTALLY SLOWLY amounts, but still.) He uses a bit of sesame oil now when stir-frying chicken, and has switched to wheat bread and brown rice. You have no idea how amazing these changes are. And I also feel so amazing when he does make a change - like I am having a direct effect on him and his health. It is very fulfilling.
I'll get him to eat a vegetable yet.
