This is exactly what one woman struggled with when she managed to upset somebody by cooking their favorite meal. Her boyfriend is autistic, leading him to have a small number of ‘safe foods’ and a particular fixation on a beef stew from a local restaurant. Costing $47 per bowl, he insisted on having it for every meal and often ordering it multiple times a day, as he doesn't like leftovers.
In a bid to save money, his girlfriend tried to cook a faithful recreation at home. Unfortunately, this also led to the revelation that the recipe contained tomato paste although her boyfriend hates tomatoes. He accused her of betraying his trust and the relationship began to struggle, with his family backing him up. It left her with nowhere to turn but the internet to try and validate her point of view.

33-year-old man orders $47 beef stew for every meal, flips out when girlfriend attempts to cook it at home and reveals it contains an ingredient that he hates: 'I just wanted to stop spending insane amounts of money'
It is an unfortunate fact that being a picky eater is something that is often a burden on both yourself and the people around you. While there are numerous, debilitating physical and psychological reasons for somebody to have a limited palate, part of approaching eating as somebody with food issues is the attitude you take towards accommodating them. It is not always a case of expecting continuous and blind acceptance from those around you if your behavior grows into something more serious than what you like to eat.
Of course, for those who can only eat a limited amount of food, it is understandable to be upset if something you consumed turns out to be not what you expected. As with anything, though, the issue is all about the context that it finds itself in. Sometimes, that doesn't reflect favorably on those who are picky eaters—especially when their loved ones are trying to help them.
