My husband hates (and I mean a deep, deep loathing) anything with cheese on or near. Will look on packages of anything even remotely looking like it MIGHT have cheese in it. The girls (two, 15 and 9) and I have to have it away from the house (so as not to saturate the walls and furniture with the stench). We do have mac and cheese here sometimes, but only during times when he's away for more than a few hours.

It's strange to me, but we do it because we love him.

He puts HOT sauce on everyblessedthing, so I suppose it's a trade off.

All this food talk. I'm getting very hungry. I'm cooking manicotti tonight.

Hmmm......manicotti.......

[PlatyPius 5]

I like spicy food. Sian likes it too, but not TOO spicy. She also eats a lot of fish. I'm allergic to it. The smell about makes me heave, too.

Oh yum. That looks good...oye now I'm gonna start craving manicotti...

[chri'stina 190]

Yep that's manicotti. You bake it in the oven. It's Pasta rolls stuffed with ricotta cheese and chopped spinach(or a variety of other fillings), covered with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. I love it.

Anyone else have horrible family food traditions your SO had to be subjected to? When mine gets here he's going to have to have lutefisk (Norwegian fish jello) at Christmas. I have not fully described the dish to him yet, because I'm afraid it will drive him away.

No haven't had to worry about that. My family's food traditions are mostly Italian. My mom is Czech and Ukranian but she doesn't know any dishes really from those places. Never heard of lutefisk.

Wikipedia on Lutefisk:

* Quote from Garrison Keillor's book Lake Wobegon Days:

"Every Advent we entered the purgatory of lutefisk, a repulsive gelatinous fishlike dish that tasted of soap and gave off an odor that would gag a goat. We did this in honor of Norwegian ancestors, much as if survivors of a famine might celebrate their deliverance by feasting on elm bark. I always felt the cold creeps as Advent approached, knowing that this dread delicacy would be put before me and I’d be told, "Just have a little." Eating a little was like vomiting a little, just as bad as a lot."

sorry about the size, but you have to feel like it's attacking you to really understand
