- Like spice but they don’t? Here’s the hot sauce
- Like salt but they’re off it? If only there was a way to add some to your own plate!
- You’re messy but they like a clean kitchen? Learn to clean up after yourself
- One of you enjoys cooking and the other doesn’t? Give them something else to contribute
I can’t think of an issue that can’t be overcome. Even allergies, which my partner has a couple severe ones… it just becomes a fun challenge to adapt meals so that they still taste great but are safe for them to eat. You learn as you go. Not everything you eat is going to be your favourite thing, so I’m not sure how much friction that would actually cause people. I don’t know, the whole idea seems abstract to me.

This is similar to our family. We had some allergy issues for a while and basically cut lots of foods from our diets completely, since my wife and I didn’t want to basically cook two separate meals. There are quite a few gluten free options out there as well. What allergies does your wife have? We dealt with oats, tomatoes, potatoes, to name a few.
