I won’t even walk within arm’s length of it at the big grocery stores:

“Excuse me sir, would you li—“
“GET THEE BEHIND ME, SATAN!!!”

I won’t draw the line at telling someone else what they can and can’t order, but I’ve been known to sit as far away as possible (at the same table, of course) from MrsT if she orders something like that.

She pretty much limits it to a couple of times a year, special occasions. since she knows it does make things difficult for me and I won’t enjoy my meal as much, or our meal time together, and she’ll bring a travel toothbrush and paste with her and duck into the restroom on the way out the door, so I don’t have to smell it on her breath in the car.

We did have one issue where we went out for her birthday, and she chose a seafood place after I assured her it would be fine because they had the single steak dish that most seafood places have for people like me, but the place smelled so strongly of fish/seafood to me (she swore it was fine and I was overreacting), that we ended up leaving before we were even sat, because about 10 minutes in I started involuntarily dry-heaving, and I’m certain I wouldn’t even have made it to a table.

Was that Red Lobster by chance? They're the worst. My youngest worked at one for 2 weeks but quit because it smelled bad and had a dirty kitchen. She had been a manager at Panera Bread before that and was used to sanitary conditions.
 
Co-opted MrsT’s Christmas gift to make salad dressing:

40 seconds, once I dumped everything in there. Faster than the stick blender.

Yep that would de-stress me.
Although you could take it up a notch and invite Tasty along, him facing sushi would be priceless entertainment 😂

Costco Rotisserie Chicken warmed up in the oven
Buttered frozen Green Beans ... ssshhhh ... I butter alot of our from frozen veg with S&P and Garlic powder
Ore-Ida Golden Crispy Crowns - think a tiny hash brown patty ... tasty!
DH is not versed in eating chicken bone-in/skin-on with a fork and knife ... the school that I attended, we had to learn how to do this - no hands involved, and you had to eat every scrape of chicken meat off the bones! - back in the day, it was thought that Hawaiians needed to be "educated and be able to participate in civilized society", `cuz you know, we were barbarians :wave:
Since we were served a hot lunch every day, roast chicken (LOVED our lunch ladies chicken!) was in the rotation to accomplish that goal ... DH didn't go to that school :laugh: ... "here dear, let me help you."

I am sure that if she had given it a try she would have found something to her liking

I wish. Unfortunately, my sis was about adventurous as a goldfish.
She went to Dubrovnik (Croatia) on holiday once, and came back complaining that they didn't know how to make proper "chips"
She went to India twice and took a suitcase full of crisps, so she didn't have to eat the food.
