I didn't however add 'pomegranate molasses' wtf? Where do you even buy that?!

Jamie Oliver is sometimes guilty of using fantangled ingredients that are impossible to find!

I also didn't add 'dukkha' as far as I'm aware it's a type of Islamic prayer...

THIS!!

I know someone who has four kids and a picky husband - she ends up cooking five different meals to keep everyone happy (and I mean five completely different not just one with extras / removed bits)

It's complete madness - I certainly wouldn't put up with that!
I used do that, for the kids at least. I knew then that they were all fed. Ex would eat owt put in front of him.
Goes back to being a child myself, I quite often went to bed hungry, because there wasn't much on the plate or if we'd pulled a face at sumat, Dads fork would shoot across faster than Ussain Bolt on speed. Money was seriously tight and Mum didn't have much work with.
I always said, there's no way any of my kids would ever know that feeling.

My mum has a very, shall we say 'plain' palette...

I grew up with:

Mash and fish fingers
Mash and pork chops
Mash and chicken
Mash and peas

You get the gist...

At 18 I was a seriously fussy eater, I'd never tried curry or eaten food with any spice or seasoning. I wouldn't eat even basic things like onions or garlic. I have no idea how I survived!

My very patient husband encouraged me to try more foods and now I'll eat almost anything (bar cauliflower - yuk!!)

Just back from Cheltenham so it's convenience food. M&S chicken Kiev a single 20 oz chicken crown made into a Kiev for two. Had it before, really nice. M&S triple cooked chips in dripping, never tried these before but they sound about right.

Youngest asked yesterday if I minded having cheese on toast tonight. He's been having it as a midnight snack a lot recently.
Costing me a fortune in cheese, little shit.
Easiest tea i've done in ages. He had 6 slices of cheese on toast and I had 3 slices of toast and opened a tin of beans n sausages.
