How many couples prepare substantially different meals from each other, at least sometimes, due to allergies or taste issues?
Some things don't seem so hard, for example, veggie burgers can be grilled as an alternate to meat so they can be prepared together. But if one is allergic to shellfish, and the other wants to occasionally eat crab or shrimp, what do you do? Or if one likes an ethnic food that the other really just doesn't ever want to eat? Or one just isn't very adventurous with new foods while the other loves to try different things?
Do you just take care of your differences when you eat out? Sometimes that can be difficult too, as some ethnic restaurants may not have decent other choices, especially for a picky eater.
Or do you sometimes just prepare two different meals at home?
I know most couples probably aren't that far off in tastes and will eat the same meals most times, but I'm talking about when the differences are just too much.
