I'm lucky in that my husband will eat just about anything I put in front of him, even those labeled as "fails". Even then, he will choke it down without to much grumbling.
After living on Kaua'i for nearly 14 years, I discovered a lot of Pacific Rim recipes and enjoy learning any style cuisine.
These days I am learning more and more about the Paleo and Primal way of eating and am convinced that the 35+ years of "everything low fat" and the insane amounts of processed foods play a huge part of why people in these United States are so sick and overweight. Anyway, I'll not get on my "low fat fallacy" soap box.
So every morning I have my bullet proof coffee complete with butter, coconut oil, heavy whipping cream (HWC) and some Himalayan salt. Drink my ketones (Keto//OS www.carolannneill.shopketo.com) and enjoy life!
