Honestly! What would you do with some people!

SIL after fifty years of marriage still gave her DH gravy .When he asked her why she did it her reply was " Well I always hoped you would change "

I sometimes cook soya mince or soya chunks in a stew as I am not a great meat eater. I make no comment and OH has not noticed yet!

lol, never heard that one before Bathsheba.

My OH would never eat carrots when he lived at home, when I first got to know him I just put them on his plate when I dished up a meal - he ate them. It was a couple weeks until I met his mum for the first time and she was putting food on his plate, no carrots. Then the penny dropped, he hadn't liked to say anything lol. And yes he's eaten them ever since.
He also said (many years ago) that he didn't like garlic, and yep he'd been eating it for ages.

Haha Bluebelle - years ago my friend’s little boy wouldn’t eat peas so she told him they were green baked beans and he loved them ?

Bathsheba my husband would be EXACTLY the same. Bl**dy awkward I call him!

I ve never had a caffeine ‘hit’ from a cup of tea ?I agree it all tastes the same and keep on keeping on as he hasn’t complained it’s all in the mind
It’s a bit like the marmite advert where the little boy shouts ‘I hate it I hate it’ and his mum says ‘he’s never had it’
My son always said he hated lamb but if I told him it was beef he ate away without a word

I also drink decaf tea & coffee, for years now. I think both are fine but on the odd occasion I get served an ordinary tea I find it tastes very strong, really horrible. Or maybe it's just that other people let it brew for ages? Don't find any difference in taste with coffee but gets the jitters if I have caffeinated ?

Creatures of habit, Mr C is the same but fortunately amenable to trickery .

glammanana - yep, I can relate to that!

Nanabilly I wasn't trying to force my views on him! I was merely trying to make life easier - not having to keep two teabag containers in the cupboard, not having to remember which cup is which, not having to remind the DC when they're here, if they make the tea to remember to use the right teabags.
And no, definitely no caffeine withdrawal - he also drinks about 3 or 4 cups a day of very strong coffee!
Sorry if the 'tongue in cheek' humour in my post didn't come across to you

My hubby can dislike things he hasn't even tried,how about that then ?

Is your husband a bigamist?? I think we might be married to the same man!!

Maybe hubby likes the caffeine hit and he should be allowed to if he wants to .
Don't try to force your views and tastes onto others or he just may do it to you with something he likes and you don't want to like.
It may have given him headaches with the caffeine withdrawal

It’s all in the mind with decaff tea, because it really doesn’t taste any different.You won’t get a caffeine hit of course.
It’s like all the blind tastings prove, expensive isn’t always better.
