Try to think of types of food/meal you'd like to eat instead? I mean, more general? e.g. "I like Chinese" (cue Monty Python song), or "I like things with pasta", or "I like salads". That way it's not so limiting on them if they do feel obliged to include those things. Or else perhaps make it explicit that you're not morally obliging them to cook anything in particular -- "I like $foo but really I'll eat anything (except $bar), cook whatever you enjoy cooking" -- and then if they feel morally obliged to cook $foo anyway it's hardly your fault.
I have this problem too as I'll eat anything except anchovies. :)
(If I'm doing the cooking I tend to ask what they don't eat and then suggest something in the light of that. But I too have a limited recipe collection.) |
