I am an incredibly picky/fussy eater. I cannot cook at all, so DH does all the cooking. He eats anything that will not eat him, but he usually cooks for me.. the fussy one.

DH and I explored why I am the way I am about food and we discovered that my mother was an awful cook -- I used to stuff my mouth with her food and run in the bathroom to get rid of it. We had to clean our plates, so that was how I did it. I wasn't bulimic or anything like that, just couldn't stand the taste of it!! For most of my childhood, I lived on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

It took me over 50 years to discover the roots of my food aversion -- now I try to eat different things, but I'm not always successful. I eat foods that I know I like and that are healthy for me but a limited menu. Sigh... I know DH would love it if I was more adventurous.
