Guys, what do you cook or not cook based on the tastes of your wife or SO?
Gals, same question. Where do you disagree on cooking?

Wife doesn't like overly spicy food and she has become very anti-salt since experiencing slightly high BP. Other than that she is fine with anything we cook.

I enjoy seafood much more than she does, but she's started eating more of it the past year.
She also doesn't like the texture of mushrooms. I leave them in larger pieces so it's easy for her to pick around them.

My wife is a finicky eater. No Asian food (Indian, Thai, Chinese, you name it) and doesn't like much seafood. I'll cook Indian or Thai on occasion. She can either eat it or get a sandwich. Would eat a lot more fish at home if she likes it.

Yeah, my husband won't eat any Thai, Vietnamese or Indian, and only very, very limited Chinese. Also, he won't eat any fish and only some seafood.
Sometimes I make things we both like and sometimes I make an entree we both like and we each do our own sides. Sometimes it's every man for himself and I do whatever weird food (his opinion) I feel like having. He also cooks.

My wife will not eat shrimp.
I still make shrimp for friends.
She really doesn't care for steaks.
I now have a daughter that will eat devour a rare steak with her daddy.

The only sausage my wife will eat is Teets. Only use it in gumbo and jambalaya.

I eat most everything that's not processed crap. The Mr doesn't like much non fried seafood, gelatinous/rubbery/overly chewy textures (octopus, dried coconut, jello), or mint & chocolate in combination.

I thought about it some more and the biggest difference between us is how we eat our steaks. I'm a rare or mid rare fan and she likes hers mid well. I've seen her order one well done once and could only shake my head. I just buy her the cheapest sirloin I can find when we do steaks and she's still happy, so at least I don't have to ruin good meat over it.

No shellfish in this house because wife is allergic.
Sucks I know but when she is out of town I try to cook shrimp and crawfish dishes for me and my son.

I do 95% of the cooking at home. My wife has neither the desire or aptitude for it, when she does, she finds a recipe and will not deviate from it for anything. However, she is an excellent taster of anything I come up with, Creole, Cajun, Indian, Thai, French, Italian, whatever I think of that interests me, or what I can scrounge up from what we have at home.
She had a slight stroke 5 years ago, so I try to keep the salt and fat down. I do notice that when we eat out she always chooses the blandest thing on the menu, never anything with any spice. I write that off to her Irish blood. If left on her own she will eat oatmeal with berries for breakfast, apples with peanut butter for lunch and rotisserie chicken for dinner ad infinitum.

My wife does no like Indian food or curry dishes and I love them. So I don't get to cook with curry much.
My wife also had a bad episode with shrimp one time and now gets nauseous at the smell of shrimp, so I haven't cooked shrimp in awhile.

My wife likes her steak well done. When I first started preparing it that way she complained that it wasn't done enough. So, the next time I burned the hell out it. We're talking black carbon. She said 'This is perfect. Make it like this every time.'
I did discover one important thing. If you're gonna burn steak you can buy the cheapest cut in the store and it tastes the same as a burnt filet mignon.

The only thing my wife doesn't like is the smell that lingers with certain foods. She likes to use the crockpot out on the deck so the house doesn't smell like roast all day. Or pork if we're doing a picnic roast to pull for sandwiches. The smell of bacon sends her running. Also when I fry vegetables I try to dump the oil as soon as it has cooled so that smell isn't lingering.
She will eat anything, but her choice of what to cook usually involves what all of us will eat and how quickly it can be prepared. I'm rarely going to walk in to some elaborate meal she's been working on for over an hour. It is always good, but usually something like spaghetti or other pasta, chicken cooked in a pan, rice, or canned veggies. At the same time, there are nights I walk in and she wants me to cook, and anything goes then. Last night I baked some chicken, broiled some squash from our garden, and fried the rest of it with okra from the garden. She's also good about cooking stuff that is great as leftovers, and I bring that for lunch the next day.
