i make crockpot rice... divide it up... use it in chili, spanish rice, rice pudding, etc.... here is what i do, if they don't like something... i make the basic recipe, don't add any spices or sauces,, call them into the kitchen and let them choose the flavoring, and then add it to their portion only...when i lived at home, we all ate the same dishes at the same meal.. none of this individual stuff... and when i go on stike, i don't cook for days, they defrost frozen dishes and eat them without any problems.. i think sometimes their tastebuds are off... men cannot smell food well sometimes too. hth
