I know some picky eaters or did. I am also one of those that won't tell you what you're eating until you decide wether you like it or not. Several years ago I had friends that learned that my primary meat source was Venison and elk meat. (we were poor and hubby hunted) Their response was "EEEWWW! I could Never Eat Venison!" but when they ate my spaghetti made with ground venison they would all exclaim "OMG! This is the Best Spaghetti I have ever had! What's in it?" then I would tell them "Venison?" they were all shocked.
Another time I had a person tell me that there was NO way that anyone could get her to eat liver. LOL! Yes I did! She loves gravy. so when I roasted the turkey for Thanksgiving and she was eating with us I pureed half of the liver and added to the gravy. she was flabbergasted at how good the gravy tasted. she said I need this recipe. I told her the secret is adding the pureed (cooked) liver to the gravy. LOL!
I do make sure that they are not allergic to anything before I pull a stunt like that. but if they aren't... it's all fair game!
Hubby is not a picky eater per say. but I have learned that he doesn't like anything labeled fat free, low fat, healthy, meatless, etc. so I just make it myself and don't tell him it is low sodium, low fat, or meatless. I fooled him for almost 2 years with one Tex Mex dish. he kept asking for that taco beef skillet thing. I finally broke down and told him it had no meat. he doesn't ask for it anymore but will eat it when I make it. LOL!
