I took my wife to a physiotherapist (good fun getting the wife to say that) today and one of the things that cropped up, although a bit off topic, was sources of calcium. I had been on at Mrs Lastlid to drink more milk as she seemed to drink very little, worrying that she might end up calcium deficient. However, what I learned was that all that fish and fish bones that she eatsdoes the job just aswell. I had never thought of it like that as I eat so little fish. Whereas the wife is mad for it.
By coincidence we had fish for dinner last night.Originally Posted by lastlid

My wife had sea bream and I had some lovely British Herring.
These were whole fish that were simply cleaned of gills and inside. I fried them whole and ate everything except the tail and the head. (left those for my wife)
Mostly the bones are so fine that you hardly know you eating them.

We have have come to a working arrangement now where my wife eats fish and rice virtually everyday, when I am at work and sometimes in the evenings too, but she ends up cooking a different meal for each of us in the evenings, at lot of the time. It seems to work. She certainly gets her fair share of calcium this way. And I don't have to eat fish. Actually I do eat a little fish.
It's true that on occasion we also have different evening meals. Perhaps once per week on average.

Luckily we both enjoy the same foods. But in line with what you've indicated, sometimes my wife wants to eat rice with something I'm not fond of. Now I could easily go along with her suggestion and eat the same, but actually I don't want to.
Like last night we agreed on fish, but mine was pan-fried, whereas my wife 'cooked' hers in vinegar with ginger garlic and onion etc.
We both accept that there's no reasons why we both eat the same evening menu if we don't want. After all, whenever we go out for dinner it's not always the case that we choose the same.
We've always managed in the same way and it works for us.
Doesn't your wife get a little fed-up with the very same foods everyday?
If not, then everythings fine.
On the fish and bones topic. She seems to like spratts so we buy a heap of them and she cooks them and eats them whole, with rice.
Snap on the ginger and garlic. Thats how she cooked her fish today.
I almost have to virtually force feed her with fruit and vegetables.
On a positive note too, she likes Chinese, Indian and Italian food, we have discovered.
Yep I suppose it is a bit of a mouthful.
a fish finger sandwich, yum yum yum and no bones
If only, Steve. She wont touch that stuff. Or one of those Macdonald McFillet o Fish things. It has to be the real deal.a fish finger sandwich, yum yum yum and no bones
The only thing i have against eating any fish is the price.
Since my wife arrived here we ALL eat Filipino food and i prefer it to a lot of English foods.
The Physio quoted tinned sardines back at us as a cheap source. Great for the wife but I am not so keen on them.
I think my mrs is half filipina and half cat, at times.
... she ends up cooking a different meal for each of us in the evenings... SNAP! And we have a SIMILAR arrangement ... which ALSO works wonders in OUR household.
... "no bones about it"!
