from a grandmother:





put the food in front of him for 30 minutes. If he does not eat it, remove it and reheat the bowl at the next meal. He will eventually taste it because he will be hungry and will savor the flavor of the other stuff.





I do not cook with several common items because people when I was learning to cook were allergic to it or were on a special diet form and couldn't have it.





My grandfather was on the old heart diet, no fats or salt at all ever. My dad had stomach problems and garlic upset him badly. My mother was allergic to black pepper. Everything else went into the food and everyone had a choice! Eat it or go hungry til the next meal.





Let this supposedly adult person starve for a while til he learns to eat what is cooked. Or he can learn to do the cooking.





My husband would only eat green beans and corn as veggies when we married 40 years ago. Now he eats whatever comes out of the kitchen to the table. He learned to eat other veggies and will even include some other stuff when it is his turn to cook.
I make beef (and chicken) soup with cut up and browned stew beef or diced chicken tenders, beef or chicken broth, a few bay leaves and seasonings ( I use salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, coriander and a little cayenne pepper), worcestershire sauce for the beef and paprika for the chicken. I add to that a bag (or however much you want) of just basic frozen vegetables (green beans, corn, carrots and peas [which you can't even taste, if he doesn't like those, either]).
Mizz SJG: Sounds like a good recipe. Next time you make it try a small quantity of Sesame oil. It adds a nutty flavor I personally like.


I have a similar recipe that includes the above with diced ham and shrimp, (and water chestnuts for texture) called Velvet Corn Soup.
