My fiance refuses to eat some of my favourite foods

I get that her beef allergies stop her from eating that, I don't complain either and just eat burgers whenever we eat out.
However, she refuses to eat certain foods, including my favourites:
>all pasta
>any tomato that hasn't been puree'd
>broccoli
These are some of my favourite foods and I haven't had them in a year.
I forced her to try broccoli with pasta (my favourite dish being tagliatelle with pesto and broccoli, served with pine pits and little pieces of bacon), and she literally looked like she was gonna cry even looking at it and smelling the dishes, so I called her out on being a little bitch, and when she ate it she spent time puking (legitimately, I watched her puke to verify it wasn't just a show).
Is this just a mental hangup with expectation influencing the senses?
If so, how do I teach her to grow the fuck up and stop picking peas out of her meals? It's not like she's not good with cuisine, she is a fair to good cook and is very well informed on Asian cuisine, and has taught me many dishes within these cuisines.

I've already tried just pushing harder, she's very sensitive to pressure due to messed up parents, so she'll just have a breakdown and cry.

I get that this is probably bait, but yes, both stress and expectation are heavy components of the body's throwing up call.

Make her a proper BLT with tomatoes as the star, that's hard to turn down

>beef allergies
this doesn't even exist

Actually, yes it does.

I swear to fucking god I'm not baiting, it's an actual issue.
BLTs make her pull out the tomato though, it's fucking ridiculous the lengths she'll go to.

Your fiance is the mod on Veeky Forums!

Oh wait

>she is a fair to good cook and is very well informed on Asian cuisine
No sorry, I mistook her for someone else for a second

user think carefully if you really want to wife her

I'm really happy with all other parts of the relationship, most things are really smooth and we don't have major issues or anything, I just want pastas back into my weekly routine senpai.

Last time I made her something with broccoli she did say that she enjoyed mine instead of whatever she had before, because I didn't overcook that shit into soggy green paste.
She hasn't tried them since though.

>Many of these individuals have negative allergy skin prick tests to meat, further obscuring the diagnosis.
???????
it's not really real or isn't it

Alpha gal allergy is a very specific one, OP's fiance likely doesn't have one.
Like 6% of children have beef allergy, 99%+ grow out of it however, so it's really rare.
There's also beef intolerance, a single Google search could enlighten you.

>Like 6% of children have beef allergy,
I doubt that number, sorry, much too high

Sounds like a genetic dead-end to me

If this is such a problem for you, how the fuck did you get to the point that she is your fucking fiance? If this is the only problem (and it's a small fucking problem), then just live with the fact that she doesn't like that stuff, and generally don't make that, but sometimes cook shit for yourself.

I've dated a picky fucking eater, and I've known a lot of picky stupid adults, and once you get to a certain age, you don't change. As long she isnt, like, just eating frozen French fries and peanut butter sandwiches (which it doesn't sound like), you just gotta deal, dude.

To be honest once you become an adult the lack of appropriate enzymes and the body's own anti-poisoning defence mechanisms make force-feeding a legitimately physiogically painful experience. Her body literally thinks it is poison and is rejecting it. I think she tried very hard for you, but this level of food rejection is something entire teams of medical specialists dedicate their career to, so you will probably have to live with it.

>beef allergy
jesus did you check her for ticks

There is NOTHING stopping you from preparing two dishes man. This "she doesn't like it so I can't habe It!" Stuff is nonsense

Let me tell you about a person who had a shrimp cocktail and then kissed their girlfriend with seafood allergy....

Was she too stupid to carry an epi pen with her?

>There is NOTHING stopping you from preparing two dishes man
this

My girlfriend doesn't eat certain foods I like, as well. So, we make them separately. On the bright side, you'd eat a great variety of food on a daily basis.

>99% grow out of it
I believe it.

She doesn't have a beef allergy.

She's a fucking child.

Why would you settle for someone this mentally unstable?

>fiance

>tfw no gf (male)
>tfw no bf (female)
;_;

Why are you so angry my man, if there's ways to get her over it that's better for everyone isn't it?
You make it sound like I'm crazy angry about this or something, but you might have to re-read, I have an issue and I'm wanting to get around it, and your suggestion is "don't get around it"?

I know, I'm just too busy/tired on a daily basis to spend more time cooking than I already do.

>Why are you so angry my man

I'm not the guy you're replying to, but it seems like a valid question to me too. Either one of two things must be true:

1) It's not a big deal. So why worry about it at all?

2) It is a big deal to you. In that case it raises the obvious question: how on earth do you end up getting married with such a big "problem" being involved. It doesn't make any logical sense.

leave her alone, everyone has different taste buds and what may taste good to you she finds unappealing.

What kind of subhuman doesn't like pasta? I can't imagine my life without it

the adult thing is to stop caring, its her problems not yours. if you want something you buy it and cook/eat it, you dont always have to eat the same things, its not that much of a problem really.
Also i dont think you convert picky eaters by forcing them to try smth, for most people i know thats how they came to dislike these foods in the first place. give her time and if she never likes it deal with it, i mean you proposed ot her

I feel bad that my future partner will have to completely give up peanuts

Why are you presenting this false dichotomy?
There's also the option of me wishing it would be different but not making that big of a deal out of it right?
Just like how you likely wish gas prices were lower, but you still buy gas and you just look for tips on how to save gas.

>beef allergies
>won't eat pasta, most tomatoes, or broccoli
I hope you've got a good lawyer writing up your prenup.

I'm sensitive to OP's situation. There are some people out there with palates that are a bit...strange. There's only one food prepared a certain way that I have a hangup on (under cooked, runny eggs.) But I get there are reasons why people might not like tomatoes because of the texture, or broccoli because of the smell. Or beef because cows are adorable, especially the babies.

While I also love those two veggies, I'd recommend simply working around them and finding veggies she's comfy with. I don't even know where to begin with the pasta though. Who doesn't like delicious carbs?

How old is she?
You can go to a doctor and confirm if it is or isn't a medical allergy, if it is some kind of allergic reaction then you're shit out of luck.

If however she is a grown adult who cries about not eating tomato and broccoli please do not have children with her for humanities sake.

She's 23, I've been at the hospital with her cause her throat swelled to the level she couldnt breathe from a cross contaminated piece of pork in a restaurant.
The other food is just an anxiety thing.

>anxiety
>bad family
>Asian cuisine
Is your fiancé a whiny fat weeaboo

OP, you're pushing a little too much to make her eat your foods, and she could very well have some psych issues with food, and you might look very closely at that when you consider if this person is sane enough to pass on your gene pool and be a real keeper, not to be a downer and bringer of suspicion, but it is indeed upsetting you already. So, food pickiness CAN be related to some other disorders, from attachment issues to borderline personality. And, people with one disorder typically have more than one. Don't reply or share about her, just take my advice to consider if that's a good long term mate for you, to spend a lot of your mental energy trying to do things right vs wrong around another person's big issues the rest of your life. Talk to a doctor, because no one legitimately pukes from a vegetable they didn't like. Dry retch once or twice, gag reflex stuff, shudders, or spits it out, downs a big glass of milk, sure. Over the toilet? No. It's not normal. In Idiot Abroad, the most insanely squeamish person on television, he gagged and smiled pleasantly at buggy food in China.

There's nothing preventing your fiance from serving things you like occasionally, or going out so you might enjoy them in their presence. She could be plating up some food different from yours from time to time. My ex loved scallops. I didn't. But, I was happy to pick some up at the fishmonger from time to time and make them a little appetizer along with our steak or whatever else I was cooking. Many a couple prepares their eggs differently and at once, versus some kind of "you're on your own if you want that" kind of mentality.

Maybe she will grow out of it, but sounds like you're stuck with it for now at least unless you're willing to tell her to stop acting like a child and cook what you want and if she won't eat it then she can make her own dinner.
As long as she isn't a "i'll only eat tendies and fries" level child you have some hope to fix her but don't encourage tantrums about not eating vegetables.

Question, what if you make sauce and put it over rice for her and noodles for yourself? That way, you get your pasta but you both have a similar enough experience.

Holy shit, a voice of reasonable rationality! On a Sami reindeer herding and cloudberry harvesting board at that.

>This
Don't have children

Dude seriously you need to discover the freedom of making your own meals each
Fuck cooking for eachother if pickiness is a problem it's not enjoyable
My partner and I have been making separate meals for a year and a half now and never looked back, it's so good!
Do you know how great it feels to plan out dinner based on exactly what you want? You get better at cooking instead of lazy

Defo never breed with this girl though that's some fucked genes, sorry

OR it cold be a small deal, worth OPing this thread.
Everything isn't black and white, there are shades of grey in real life. (Except in American politics I guess)

Blind people. "Looks" like worms to them.

She had shit parents. Food isn't her only problem, she has underlying mental issues, as you said she breaks when you try to force something on her. That'll be a problem later if you marry her and have kids (she has no clue what good parenting is for example.)
Try to deal with that first, probably with a shrink. Then you'll know how to make her try your not-overcooked food (or quit her if she's unfixable.)

Why don't you just get over it? Is this honestly a problem?

Eat the foods you like during meals you don't share, like your lunch or at restaurants.
Make two separate meals. You can still eat them together.

You are too sensitive about something most people don't care about.

>quit her if she's unfixable

No, just quit her. Life is way too short to spend it fixing weaklings like this. I dated girls like this, and ended up marrying a vegetarian that can't cook. Save yourself. Picky eaters are mentally ill. By breeding with them, you only perpetuate the illness.

>marry the mentally ill
>Make two separate meals
>for the next 60 years of your life

People saying make separate meals.. I cannot tell you how painful this becomes after 10 years of marriage.

>married
>still cooking for 1

>I get that her beef allergies

Her defective genes were never meant to be passed on.

>Talk to a doctor, because no one legitimately pukes from a vegetable they didn't like.

Tripe, raw tomato, and pineapple all make me feel really close to puking.

My sister loves beef, but her digestion was fucked up for like a year - so bad she had several visits to the emergency room - until finally a doctor tested her for this, and she's got it. Ticks carry this disease from Texas to Long Fucking Island. She eats a lot of duck, chicken and fish now, but she's pretty pissed off about it. My bro's comment: "If that happened to me I'd just kill myself!"

Let's see if I got this right"
>beef allergy
>extreme fussy eater who vomits after trying broccoli
>from a fucked up family
>frequent emotional breakdowns involving tears

Hmmm. I'd say that no matter how much you love her or how good the sex is you'd be making a huge mistake to marry this girl. People from fucked up families don't just get over it - they can't be fixed - they pass it along to their kids. So if you have kids with this woman she will fuck them up, and your children will become fussy eaters with emotional problems. If you don't have kids your best case (if you can make such a marriage work, which I see as unlikely) is a lifetime of dealing with her breakdowns and eating meals baased around her pickiness. That doesn't sound all that great, user. Think about this: what are the odds that shortly after you marry her she'll stop working, claiming some mental or physical disability, then just sit around the house all day getting fat and complaining about how miserable she is? I've seen this one before. My fucking bro is married to one like this. Thankfully they didn't have kids, but his life fucking sucks, and his useless wife is a big part of the reason. I'd say run away from this one as fast as you can, user.

SHHH don't tell him this.

They're going to get married. She's going to end up fucking the neighbor. He's going to find out. She's going to tell the cops that he raped her.

Seen this so many times in the army.

OP go finance a car you can't afford too.

>Seen this so many times in the army.
That's really scraping the bottom of the barrel. I was kind of assuming user was a step or two up in class from that, but you've made me see the error of my ways. If you're planning on marrying a woman with serious food issues from a fucked up family there's no way you deserve any better. Because either you already know better and are just pretending you don't, or you actually don't know any better. So either way it's what you deserve.

Chiding me here was the right move, user. Thank you.
