There, I admitted it. Felt good to get off my chest.

Otherwise she's pretty awesome.
Accept your differences and learn to appreciate one another. I read that on a fortune cookie one time. Turned out to be pretty good advice.

Her problem with it is she thinks it doesnt look it done enough to be safe.. Not so much she doesnt like the taste.

With seafood she doesnt like the taste.

She tried seared scallops? How about a skirt steak mid with chimichurri?

How about a nice sushi place’s raw apps from the bar? They’re often way more protein focused than rolls. Sauces that bring out natural flavors, searing when it’ll help...seafood is mostly better not overcooked.

It's ok, I love her and shes great to me. She'll even try everything I make even though she knows she probably wont like it.

And she can cook things the way I like them. It's just sad when I'm like this is soooooo good, and she's like it's not bad...

I agree, but her issues being seafood and things not being cooked enough doesnt go over well with sushi. She's tried sushi... dont think she'll do it again.

She usually gets a spicy chicken dish when we go out for sushi. It's very good.

At least she loves spicy stuff!

She would love my MIL’s cooking. Over cooks everything and I mean everything.’
Examples: bakes fish 350F for 1 1/2 hrs you know, to make sure it’s done.
Chicken thighs 1 1/2 - 2 hrs. Reheats a Honey Baked Ham 1 hr plus, could resole shoes with it. You don’t want to know about her pork roast.
And my wife she doesn’t know how to cook. Good thing I enjoy cooking.

That brings up a good point

Why is it mostly white trash and country people who don’t like off the path food and eat well done meat with ketchup?

I know a ton of them

My experience has been the opposite. The country people like to brag about how rare they like their steak. They make jokes about it bleeding and such.

I am not going to label someone as 'trashy' because they are poor, I've seen some trashy wealthy people and some classy poor ones, but I was cooking steaks to order for a company picnic, the blue collar employees and family mostly said "I don't want to see any red when I cut it".

Well, do you have a temp probe, and can she read? Because you can educate her on "safe" temps for different meats.

I couldn't marry someone who had a limited palate. I have friends and relatives who "don't eat onions", or "don't like sweet and savory tastes together". It's childish.

I'm an adult. If I don't like the way something tastes, I'm not eating it.

I can't get mine to like Indian food or really anything with a hint of spice. Now steaks...... Rare.

Sure, there are items that are "different", onions are not one of those things. Less than well done steaks are also not one of those things.
