I don't like seafood, vegetables, salads, or any fruit. I think dh enjoys eating out cause he likes salads.
We eat a mainly vegetarian diet. So we're kind of limited on choices sometimes in restaurants as the vegetarian choices are usually slim (except on occasion when we go to a vegetarian restaurant). Plus, the vegetarian options are usually way overpriced for what you get. For example, tonight we had grilled veggies over brown rice. I used a handful of snow peas, about 10 mushrooms, half a green pepper, half a red pepper, about 10 stalks of asparagus and sliced zucchini. The whole meal probably cost about $5, fed three people and we had leftovers that one of us will use for lunch in the next couple of days. Go to a restaurant and get pasta primavera and you'll pay $10 easily. Plus everything was very fresh and served hot and cooked just the way we like it.
