Every meal will not be exactly the way you like it, get over it. You can tell a lot about a person by how they act around food.

I have to disagree with what you've said about poor training. My son was an extremely picky eater. He would ABSOLUTELY NOT eat anything he did not like. This started when he was one week old. Trying to feed an infant with fussy taste buds became a quest...maybe he'd like this food, maybe this one...and so on and so on. Husband has food likes and dislikes, as do I. There were times when I was making three meals when dinnertime rolled around. Breakfast was even more of a challenge, but we survived. Today that little boy is an executive chef and he eats a variety of foods, not always the most nutritious, but very, very delicious. As a youngster, we noticed he enjoyed restaurant dining. He could find the most expensive item on the menu, order and enjoy every morsel when it arrived at the table. He now has two children, one is a very good eater. She doesn't have too many dislikes, then there's the other one....a more fussy eater, but following in his Dad's footsteps...he enjoys eating out and especially at Dad's restaurants( pricey dining establishments ) where he, too, can manage to pick the most expensive item on the menu and enjoy each and every bite...
