Does your missus like it or grin and bear it?
Seven years with the old dear and and 99% of the non-Thai food that I've cooked has either been only eaten by me or the dogs, or both; I've done Xmas dinners, steaks, stews, pizza, and pies amongst others.

Today I had a massive result - hot chicken and potato vindaloo. They loved it. Previous attempts at tandoori chicken and tikka masalla went down like a led zeppelin. Funny thing is I'd only made enough for me cos the dogs are way too fuggin fat, so all the family got was a taste. Tough shit.

Pretty lucky with my misses, been together about 6 years and she'll eat most farang food no problem, apart from lamb. Went to Sure Park for lunch today on Soi Nern Plub Waan, got Thai food on the menu but she still had a roast dinner.

She'll eat farang food when nothing else is available - with a basket of sticky rice.

Mine goes for Thai food 99 percent of the time, I sort of begrudge it though paying for Thai food in a normal English restaurant though and she generally complains about it not being so good, easier just to take them to Thai restaurants

What about YOUR cooking? Does she like it?

They'll eat it outside but what I make seems to get passed over all the time.

Just to say, in the UK my cooking skills were able to remove a girl's pair of knickers.

BUCKEYE Thailand Travel Forum Newbie
Being a cook only having 2 rice pots and a small cookie oven belonging to my wife in Thailand I havent had any major problems but she still insists that it costs to much for electricity. She runs the TV all night long though and insists that I eat sticky rice 5b.
They eat what I cook, no problem but I just found out she doesn't like garlic and I use a bit of it. The kid stated that he has never eaten this good in his whole life as he supped on a bowl of meatloaf simmered in a tomato sauce with potatoes and spice. One of my favorites. But now she wants it and the burgers made exclusively with ground pork. Maybe with the right spices I might tolerate the change.

Mine turns out is a Coconut (brown on the outside and white on the inside)! She says "not true" but when it"s BBQ time! This girl can eat steak, baby back ribs, baked potatoes and beans with Garlic Bread and still leaves room for watermelon or ice cream. She just had her first Apricot Ale and loved it! Whats next Rodeo and Stock Car racing?

The only thing that the missus will eat that I cook is the spaghetti bolognaise sauce. She chops up a bunch of chillis, refrys it and eats it with rice.

My Ol' lady never ate western food until I came along. She has problems boiling water. She loves my cooking. Still want her Kanom Jin fix every once in a while, I met her she was 40 kilos, she is now 50. Added weight kinda looks nice on her, most of it sits just above her legs...

My 'Missus' loves lamb, or a traditional English breakfast with plenty of black pudding, in fact the only 'Falang' food she will not eat is cheese!
When she lived in the U.K., after trying various Thai restaurants, she refused to eat in them, saying that they were too expensive with poor quality food. She does, however enjoy Indian food, and never refuses a chance to sample it.
