My wife is a picky eater to say the least! When going out and she is going to try something new I order something I know she will eat. That way if she does not like what she try's we can trade. Not sure if she knows I am doing it. Must have caught on by now. Anyone else do this?

The wife and I are both not picky eaters.The biggest diffrence is she will usually order something chicken while I order something seafood.

You're a smart man. I don't have that problem with my wife. Although sometimes we'll eat half and switch.

That is very sweet of you.
I’m sure she caught on. It just solidifies her knowing how much you love her!

Shoot I am not picky at all when it comes to food. And a lot of times, I order more than I’m hungry for so that My husband can take my leftovers for work the next day. I wonder if HE has caught on??

Diane isn't a picky eater. Even so, she has a very hard time choosing what to eat for dinner, especially at a restaurant. I pretty much know what I want to eat at a restaurant, before I even walk in the door.

Depending on what my wife orders many times I will order less for myself knowing that I will have to finish hers.

My wife is not real picky, however she as a rule does not eat fish

Wanted catfish with crawfish etouffee on it one time, had the option of fried or blackened fish. She asked which she should get and I told her that since I would most likely be the one eating it to get the blackened.
She ate every bit of it

Mine overcooks many dishes. She also puts to much seasoning on grilled meats. She rarely eats eggs. Want touch a raw tomato or stewed okra.

We were on our honeymoon cruise years ago and she ordered escargot, I was sure she would not eat it and I really wanted it for myself, I decided to order something different for an appetizer thinking I would get to eat hers, Turns out it backfired on me, she ate every bite.

Mine just orders the same generic in her words "basic white girl food" everywhere we go
Chicken Alfredo
Well done steak
The tacos ( tortilla with just the meat...and has to be ground meat)
Or a burger with nothing but the bun and meat...
Maybe chicken tenders and sometimes I can convince her to try a drink other then slo gin and coke

I am sure he has noticed your not taking the leftovers for your lunch. lol

Yep I got a "basic white girl food" wife. Her go to is mostly well done steak or chicken tenders. But she was raised on a farm that raised beef so she is a burger snob and won't touch one at a restaurant.

My wife isn't picky (she married me) but, because she has an esophagus issue, she can't eat an entire meal. Half always comes home with us.

Neither of us are picky eaters thankfully. I wish she wouldn't order steak well done on the rare occurrences we do order that. She likes spicy food so there's not an issue there but chicken tenders are frequently ordered when we go out. We both like Mexican and Chinese ( depending) some isn't very good.
She also brings most of it home and has leftovers for a couple days.

I'm the picky one in the family. My wife doesn't order something she knows I'll eat if I don't like what I get. You guys now got me questioning her love for me... LOL

If I can't find something on the menu I'll like I'll order an appetizer and an order of fries and make that my meal.

The only thing my wife doesn't like is lobster. Otherwise all food is good to her.

If she makes something for dinner I won't eat I'll just make a sandwich.

I'm more open minded than I used to be when eating different things at a restaurant, my wife is fairly picky, mostly avoiding carbs so she can keep up her smokin' hot figure. She will indulge in a couple of my fries after she finishes her ahi tuna salad. I tend to eat about anything I order, but it doesn't stop me from complaining about it if it is not great.

Converted my wife from well done steak to med - med rare years ago. She’s also become pretty open minded except for oysters and some game meats. Rabbit, squirrel, doves, goose… no way. I’ve got to beat hear back from smoked wild turkey though.

My wife grew up thinking that onions and tomatoes will kill you. It makes things a challenge when cooking at home. But when we are out if she forgets I politely mention that she cannot have them to the waiter.
